    Good job man, good job. I somehow like the Unicorn Dazzler a lot from the Honda stable. It has a well tuned Honda engine & the in the style dept too, I would rate it as 8/10 !
    Yes. The bike performed like a dream on the trip and it's fun to ride in the city too.


    I will update the trip log in 2 days!

      Hi rx100.7050 : My Bhutan trip was more of a touch and go affair major part of that trip was spent in sikkim only 2 days in bhutan one to go one to come back. But Bhutan is definitely beautiful we have to traverse it fully as was our original plan. Got marred by ill health and lots of time wasted in acquiring permits everywhere.
      Also me not that blog writer kinda guy you need endless patience for that still you can check my signature. Its coming up there dont expect much but .

            Day 1 to Day 3, Leh Ladakh Bike Trip: Trains, Chandigarh city, the beautiful Chandiga

            Day 1 to Day 3, Leh Ladakh Bike Trip: Trains, Chandigarh city, the beautiful Chandigarh Manali Highway

            2nd July, Day 1, The Train Journey

            We boarded the Paschim Express at 12:05 pm at Borivali. Called up my family and sister and said goodbyes.

            Our three berths were at the start of a bogey and the other two at the other end. We tried to coax a family into exchanging their three seats with us. They were initially quite skeptical but after some more convincing they exchanged places with us and the 5 of us were together.

            The pain-in-the-arse astrologer3rd July, Day 2, Early morning sunrise in the train, Exploring ChandigarhChandigarh dhaba to name dish after Ranbir KapoorRunning in my bike on the Chandigarh Manali HighwayGetting stalled right in the middle of a hilly highway

            On climbing a slope, the bike stalled as the RPM went down and I was still in the higher gears. I restarted the bike and tried to lift it off the first gear but just kept stalling it. So here I was...right in the middle of the road, on a hilly highway, with huge trucks honking at me telling me to move aside. Prado and I got down from the bike, took it to the side and I tried moving it again on first gear. After a few desperate attempts, I finally managed to move the bike and we started the journey again. From there onwards on all uphill roads I stopped and started the bikes numerous times just to get a hang of it.

            My metamorphosis from a noob rider to a highway starNobody gonna take my bike
            I'm gonna race it to the ground
            Nobody gonna beat my bike
            It's gonna break the speed of sound
            Ooh it's a killing machine
            It's got everything
            Like a driving power big fat tyres
            And everything
            I love it and I need it, I bleed it
            Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
            Alright, hold tight I'm a highway star
            More to come:

            Day 4, Delhi Belly, leaving for Rohtang at 4 pm and getting stranded in the mud and rains at night
            Day 5, Riding through knee deep mud, touching a glacier for the first time, the awesome ride from Rohtang top to Keylong
            Day 6The first three days, we clicked very few pictures as we were saving the memory card for the awesome journey to come, so expect more pictures in the next articles.
