        Actually there are other videos. But I feel that this one turned out best.
        The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                  I'm trying my hand at writing a trip log and while on the trip tried my hand at photography as well...will be uploading both in a couple of days...

                  Watch this space...
                  I am waiting Nitin. We are all waiting for your story. Couple of days you said... you got one more day left! We are eagerly watching this space.

                    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!

                    Was it in GIR 2006 on the Kinetic Blaze?

                      • Now that final part was a potboiler of a travelogue! If someone pens down commentary from a MotoGP race, it would be just like this!

                        Wonderfully written Ken. It has fired up something inside me to go and attack some twisties here. And after seeing the video, I have no doubt in my mind that the twisties I have in mind are much better in terms of traffic and road surface ergo so much more fun.

                        If you head down here, I'll gladly take you there. A visit to the South is overdue now Ken. Motoring satisfaction guaranteed!

                          Thanks. Yes I have that in mind... it is long overdue indeed!

                          And I am watching your end... you know for what... I was checking google earth!

                            Just saw the video after reading a lot about it. Lovely capture.
                            I must say that's a lot of traffic out there. Looks like that's how the twisties up North are. You should come down this side.

                              • Finally it is up Nitin. Thanks for your side of the events. Very well written indeed. Just read it aloud to Moon and we were often in splits.

                                A big thanks from Moon's side to you, Arti and Dipanjali for making her efforts of making my b'day a success.

                                A big thanks from my side as well. I had no idea that Moon was behind the whole ride and the celebrations! Thus a big thanks to you guys from my side.
