    I read the text a few times just to soak in the beauty of it. Thanks for all those adjectives used to making me sound like a speed demon. But I actually was riding casually (by my standards :P ) with enough stops for photos and WIWO sessions (water in water out ).
    I like your "riding casually" estimate of yourself while you do Leh to Manali in a day!

    I have done it. But then I also did Srinagar and Pahalgaon and some of Uttaranchal as well in the same trip. And I did it over a month!

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

      Just that I wanted to push things a little bit, and once you have fresh clean air and nice vistas around, you really dont feel tired as much as an hours run through a city centre.

      Scary quick. Almost Cannonball Run-ish. I remember Srikeerthi had long ago mentioned that he would be a small speck in my mirror on his Zma if he rode with me on the R1, and now I've no doubts that his statement is totally false.

            That is there to save the reflection or illuminance in the eyes of incoming traffic.
            Some people are worried.

                I'm looking at a 12 day trip. Spiti and Leh still possible in one trip?

                P.S. I dont ride like Keerthi.

                  @silver_falcon: I did it in 15 days with 2-3 days of rest. Rest meaning <50kms riding that too just coz i felt like.

                  So 15 days is surely possible...

                        When everyone here is discussing about how quick you are, I'm supposed to suddenly believe you, that it is possible in 15 days?

                        15 days. I could extend it a little then. Spiti and Leh are equally jaw dropping. I would probably want to do it in one single trip.

                            I remember getting a lil "sample" of your riding style in the hills of Munnar. Remember? When is your thread coming up?

                            And when is the next set for this trip coming up?

                              @silver_falcon: Dont go by what you read or even see, all might be a myth. I hope I can start my thread by this weekend. Need to write a bit for it too..

                              And yeah I too have the same question for Oldfox. This is not done, just 20 pictures is not enough to even summarize your ride. Please share more, be generous, bikers of this country will be indebted forever
