Sir Jee.. It was a pleasure going through your travelogue.. I was awestruck for like 45 mins..until I finished reading up to the last post. I am sure it is a trip of a lifetime and you enjoyed every moment of it. You are truly an Inspiration !!

Thanks AmoghDox for your kind words of appreciation. At the time I am not looking forward to any long ride but may be next year it would be some thing much bigger.

The narration was extremely gripping, and so was the sequential photography. The story composition is comprised of fascinating facets pertaining to triumph defeat, ice age, brush with death, tent, sleepless riding, upside down truck/lorry, water crossings and many more. Your adventurous trip has triggered the reaction of touring virus in many - more so because of your age.

This tiredness is temporary and very soon you'll find it hard to control your urges for touring once the silent times become monotonous. However, I would suggest you to upgrade to a higher displacement with proper touring comfort.

All the best Sir, & thank you for sharing this wonderful story of yours with us.

Thanks Chaosaddict. I do agree that the tiredness might be temporary. But I have still not recovered fully for any long ride. I appreciate your suggestion to upgrade to a higher displacement. Let us see what is in store next year .

No need to do that. Just have more rest stops along way. As they say slow and steady....

2. Should I ride Solo or in Group ( If you say I continue riding)
Depending on the mood. Maybe a bit of both as they both have their own positives & negatives.

3. Should I go in for a higher CC bike in addition to my present Suzuki GS 150R ? Yes / No
Hard to answer this. Maybe an Enfield Bullet or something but it doesn't matter what you ride..as long you as ride!

Glad that you got home safe and sound but if it was me, I would have stopped somewhere along the way before making that last 200 kms home.

But...an awesome travelogue Sir! Keep it up!

Thanks Jonny for appreciating my T'log. I think I have already shared the information sought by you through P.M. As for stopping before the last 200 kms to home, I don't have any problem riding long what time of the day or night it may be. May be it was some design fault on the road and it can happen any time, be it in day or at night. But now I am recovering fast and as told earlier am attending office regularly. I have not yet decided about my future rides. May be I will go in for something bigger next year

Thanks zestbiker for your concern about my safety. I am safe and recovering fast. As told, I am attending office regularly and commuting on the same bike. Hope I might be on the highway next year for even a bigger ride.

Thanks krishna81 for appreciating my T'log. As for the tyres, so far there are only stock tyres of MRF (Rear is Zapper) and I am not feeling comfortable with these tyres after clocking 28000 kms. There are not suitable for any high mountain ride in tough terrain. Even in plains, I have to be extra careful and I felt tailspin on many occasions in normal rides. Any moment I will replace the rear tyre and might go for CEAT Vertigo or MRF Meteor.

Thanks Krishna77 and cschoudhary. I am pleasantly surprised to see your excitement while going through my T'log. Really appreciate that.

The main purpose of my writing T'log after a ride is to motivate people like you to go for rides and explore as much as you can. India is a big and beautiful country and by reading responses of you like riders, I think I have achieved the desired result.

I am still not clear about my future plans but most probably, I will not Quit for some more time and might come up with something bigger next year.

Wait and watch and continue writing your responses as they do help the Rider in continuing his endeavor. As I believe that NO RIDER IS BIGGER OR SMALL. EVERYONE IS EQUAL and it really helps in motivating and continuing his passion when he gets response from its readers.

[MENTION=47733]Hoodibaba[/MENTION] sir

After reading these 11 pages I am speechless, dumbfounded and dazed. I an sitting in the office and cursing myself for not having done something like this.

Sir, your tlog is not just collection of pages but its a power source for thirst of adventure, life, endurance, motorcycles and everything in between.

If I am ever to do a solo like you have done it would be purely because of what I have read here.

I don't have words to express my respect. All I can pray for is that you get back on your zuki and have some more adventures. It would be safe say you have lived life and than most of us could ever live.

Re: Ladakh 2014 - The Most happening ride of my life till the end

You never cease to amaze us with the spirit within you sir. Wish you get super-well soon and get back on the saddle for another big ride. May Lord Vishnu bless you sir.

I will be pleased to meet you someday.

Thanks Siddha Raj. Besides learning from my own experiences in the field, I wish people get motivated to explore our own country. Through comments of readers like you I think I am doing my bit the right way.

Thanks for your wishes. I am recovering fast. (I might hit the highway somewhere to Uttarakhand and Himachal in the coming 5 holidays from 2nd to 6th October.)

A fresh T'long is on the cards, if all goes well.
