    A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

    Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

        First of all kuddooos to you all for planning this trip...man great Now as per your list till you reach shimla you guys would be facing extreme heat conditions, so you guys n bikes need to be fit and fine. IMO leave as early as possible and rest during the noon time as to avoid wear n tear to yourself and bikes as well..... rest the experienced ppl would let you know what to do and what not to do..... you will be carrying lot of luggage as well so think about tyre pressure as well... well as points would come in my mind would drop a line out here..till then get ready and get set go.... would be following this thread closely......

                haah.. wish us luck then

                the plans are final.. we are starting on 6th June..
                starting from Mumbai and without any proper plans except for the places to visit! we will just keep riding till leh and decide the plans after that..

                this ride is gonna be an ever lasting ride.. first the desert, then we will ride thru rains, then comes the mountain and snow! can't wait to get geared up!

                is kargil safe to ride now?

                        I will break my head to get these leaves.. but will get it for sure..!! Mujhe LEH ki kasam
                        Thts true, software people need some break, as we have to do something new other than sitting idle.
