+1. Manali is jarring to the senses nowadays.

I looked and marveled at the guy selling gol gappas at 3600 metres altitude. His backdrop was amazing, standing at the edge of a 1000 foot precipice against snow covered mountains, selling gol gappas; this was nothing short of surreal! Salvador Dali would have been pleased.

No photo of that??! I would've loved to see it. It sounds surreal indeed

Keep them coming Ken. Your logs of late have a razor sharp pace to it, like one of them Bourne movies.

Great Writeup Ken! I am psyched! Waiting for more.

good to see Vivek on a bike again. Doesn't eh have an envious garage now?

Are the tyres behind CEAT?

CEAT Vertigo! They are good dual purpose tyres. I like them. But I do have a problem with the front end on tarmac!

Vivek Bhai - Your TTR looks amazing waiting to have a close look at her and its great to see you riding again....

Damn you missed her! Vivek had got it last weekend at the off-road track. I had real good fun finally on that bike over there.

Jejus! So you guys were going THAT far.

@Ken: does it remind me of a man named Krishnendu riding the Kinetic Blaze like a whirlwind and Blazing past all machines on the road somewhere in the Himalayas in 2006. Boy do I remember that moment, you rode like the devil possessed you or maybe all the mad dogs in the Himalayas were behind your tail (Choose One!).

Amazing, amazing journey, and all that snow is just so inviting. More!

Damn Sunny, you made me all nostalgic and mushy! I really enjoyed that ride, especially those parts... Gramphoo-Losar-Kaza!

Thanks. Unfortunately, I did not shoot him from up close. But you can see him in the background in one of the photographs!

Had I known you were around, I would have called you as well to come around... I called a lot of people, nobody wanted to join us.

**Aryan** · 09-25-2009, 11:32 PM

Finally, I got to see the pictures.

More than the snow or the bikes, I loved the few pictures where we have green hills WITH snow covered tips. Really beautiful views past Rohtang, I see.

Please do post more such pictures. And thanks for sharing these lovely vistas; I so wish to ride there soon.

**archistar** · 09-26-2009, 01:22 AM

fantastic...

what to say about these three guys...
've seen Ken da, Vivek bhaiya and Nitinjit bhaiya on dirt-track a couple of times and they really carry the spirit of biking. and for them it is the passion that is making them younger day by day...

hats-off to you all.

I guess the word used was Younger - comparitive tense

You can always be younger,.even when you are 15 , 18 , or 80 .

**Abhishek B** · 09-27-2009, 02:14 PM

@Ken Da - Amazing!! It's been 3 months I haven't had a ride & your write up has sprinkled salt on my wounds.... I wish if all the books could have been installed in my brain.
Great write up....enjoyed going through it, really!!

Two months left for my austerity drive to end & I've made my mind to become Mr.INDIA (invisible) for good 10 days after it.... place yet to be decided.

Respect to you for taking on such a ride & thanks for sharing it.

**bobby_wish59** · 09-27-2009, 02:58 PM

lookin at ken's bike i'd say that even my p150 is an offroad modded bike

shares the same tyres

waiting for such a slush fest as it rained today

**nabendubasu** · 09-27-2009, 05:14 PM

@ken :now please bring on the rest. eagerly waiting for the fun part.

**augusta** · 09-27-2009, 07:11 PM

Whenever it rains here, I curse the sky for making it so slushy and mucky as I hated the mud puddles and the loose tarmac. The log and pictures have completely changed my perception!
Very brave attempt and lovely pictures!

Come to the practise sessions, take one of our bikes, ride through the dirt and slush, a LOT of perceptions will change!
