Awesome..Congrats.. Which color did u book..?? Black Only..?

Permits wont be an issue, you can send me the docs and i can send them to Vishwas for processing..!

None offense taken..you can surely ride the "Best Touring bike" uptill Leh and back..!! I'll be happy abt it..

Saalo...!! Apni bikes ke baare mein socho bas..!! Jyada dimag mat kharch karo..!!

Oye hero jaldi bhej dena..nahi to late ho jayega na..!!

I am fine..

Hope u joining for the Sunday's G2G..??

@Satyen: Kida in punjabi means "Kaise" ... so i guess he meant to ask "Kaise ho"..

Nooo dude I hate BLACK. Im looking for either Blue or Grey color. Dont want to compromise there.

The Hunt is still on, lets see. Also some bikes have MRF & some have IRC. PBK guys had No explanation.

Yup...me coming . Cya on Sunday....

Blue looks Good...Hope you get it soon !!

Excellent idea. In fact, I was thinking about where to store the cable. I bought tyre tube also so now I am set on bike front.

Bhai log, I do not think that majority of the riders actually want to have the permits in hand. I had requested Inder to collate all papers and mail them to me but as per our discussion yesterday, only a couple have sent their papers. So I will not be carrying out this exercise of obtaining permits.

Haa yaar, aisa kharcha karenge aur khalaas ho gaya to?

Not wanting to rain on your parade but honestly speaking, can we have some discussions which may contribute something about the upcoming ride. Currently this thread is looking more like G2G thread.

Most of the posts I see are not directly related to the upcoming ride, challenges, plans to overcome them. I believe that -
a. You guys are so experienced, Leh ride is like a ride in neighborhood park to you or
b. You are underestimating the ride.

I may be the only one raising this issue and I may be wrong but I strongly believe that people who have confirmed for the ride should start updating their bike, equipment status etc. Sharing information will surely not harm anyone. If someone is proficient, he can source as much information as possible about the locations where we are going and can share details with others.

guys, also add plastic-gloves or any waterproof gloves in your checklist. if it rains heavily & u have no other option to ride in it. it'll sure save your hands at the end of the day.

My status:
- Rider: I have quit my job, and awaiting a final confirmation on my last working day.
So whether I am in, or out depends on it.
- Bike: is not an issue, have already procurred everything except the tyre, which should not be a big issue as well.
- Baggage: is not an issue, this is 100% done, my set up is a tail bag plus the saddle bags
- Other stuff:
- GPS will be with me by this weekend,
- No camera (will know about it on Sunday)

Pending to buy
- Ropes
- Plastic Sheet
- Thermal
- Undees & Socks :P lots of them!

Get the chinese use & throw ones.You can buy 2 dozen of them

lol actuall swimming trunks are more like it! Makes it a bit easier to ride in summers :P and also helps A LOT incase you find a lake near!

Dear All,

I am meeting Vishwas in the evening today..so if anyone wishes to get the permits then they can send me the documents by afternoon..!! Otherwise the permits wont be taken out..!! TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!!


-Inder.

Me alankar and Rohit are going around the city to buy some stuff. Why dont you guys coordinate with G2G baaba and ta along. This could be a small meet discussing the leh ride.

Timings and all..?

G2G Baaba se puuch, he is at lonavala!

@ satyen,inder :
i am meeting alankar and rishabh at 4 pm.. wer r u??r u coming??

I can man, I can at best reach by 5:30

I spoke today with my contacts in Manali, Leh & Shrinagar. There is no substantiation to the statement that wearing army camo pants or boots create any kind of problem. So whoever wants to buy army surplus stuff, please go ahead.

Please note that the season when we are going to Manali, Leh & Srinagar will be it's peak tourist season so the rates would be highest and accommodation not freely available.

Leh hotel costs Rs.800/room on EP plan. It has enclosed parking available. Located near main market.
