    Lovely pictures. Looks like cloud/fog covered green trees are one of my weaknesses.

    Liked the text describing the duel through the twisties. Felt like I was right there.
    Often I have seen riding with faster guys make yo go faster than normal.

    Just a query, how did the yr old kid handled the motion sickness in twisties? My 2.9yr old daughter on her first visit to twisties threw up after I took a few corners.

      Absolutely true. On my own, I would have never gone that fast. With Nitin on my tail permanently and Manan ahead, I did whatever I managed to do.

      The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                  Loved the macros, and the pic with the clouds above the roads and yes another wonderful piece of narration there. Thanks for the tips, I believe that is a wonderful idea for bikers going to Leh specially the the polythene over the socks, this will certainly make river crossings a bit easier.

                    Just saw the video. My favorite biker was the Chetak guy at 1minute 48 seconds. Amazing cornering skills with that 4 foot high luggage on his rear seat.

                    More seriously though, I love this thread!
                    Looking forward to more such rides from y'all.

                    BTW, personally I still don't have the guts to ride like that on narrow two-lane highways.

                    Kudos to you guys.

                      I did not read the text till now. Lovely macros, I must say, especially the ladybug (second picture). I believe it was clicked with the Sony DSC digi-cam? I am dying to take out my 100mm lens now!

                          It would. I did not use them during my trip to Leh coz I was riding a scooter and the river crossings were a breeze!

                          That Chetak guy kinda scared me with his luggage tottering from side to side. I was expecting him to topple any moment in front of me!

                          Yes... here it is...

                          Focal Length: 6.3mm
                          Exposure Time: 0.0063 s (1/160)
                          Aperture: f/7.1

                          This is what I like about tinypic. The Exif stays with the pic. In Photobucket or Imageshack of Flickr, the Exif is removed.
