  • [Photo Feature]: Yamaha RX 135 (600+km) Road Trip across Uttarakhand

    This time rode to Kharsali (Yamunotri) on my old `98 Yamaha RX 135, covering 600+kms on the 2stroker...also marking the arrival of monsoons I got exploring the diverse section and also got trekking this time to the unkown Jhindi-Snapada-Mala mountain tops laden with bugyals and Bandarpunch up close in sight...With couple of breakdowns with the machine and rain stranded at Kharsali for two days , the trip turned out to be very different. The place handed out as one of the best in Uttarakhand for me.
    Gotto be back here soon !

                Nice to see RX doing trips to hills, its a good feeling.

                      Must have been fun riding in such beautiful places on an equally impressive bike.

                      Thanks for sharing.

                      Ride safe and have fun.

                            Hey bro, I pity myself for missing this thread; I mean, how on earth, could I?!
                            This is truly fantastic. Great pics.

                            Some old school thrash, and the mountainous bliss - what else could one ask for!!!

                              Haha. Thanks and err...appreciated, you acknowledging the very core cult-ness of the old school stroking.

                              On a darker side ...i had a couple of breakdowns too. Having that stroker go 600kms across hills had me through a couple of breakdowns with water in carb/fuel line once in the middle of no where ! And a current short too.

                              'Was pretty raw stuff to do.
