You can surely join us, only thing is you have to do atleast a 500+kms ride with us before the Leh ride. so that we can get comfortable with each others riding style, its very imp for our safetyOriginally posted by neville_kc View PostHey.. can I join you guys?

And SOLO LEH is not a sensible idea

But you ought to have a good riding experience beforehand and should have a good understanding of your machineOriginally posted by spiderweb View PostYou can surely join us, only thing is you have to do atleast a 500+kms ride with us before the Leh ride. so that we can get comfortable with each others riding style, its very imp for our safety

I second Kurt on this. Solo rides are good, enjoyable, memorable but like wise, one should have a taste of riding solo. Not to forget, good riding skills, level head etc etc etc.Originally posted by kurtrules View PostInfact, I would think otherwise.

Do it solo, if you have to. And yes, you will cherish it for the rest of your life.
all cheers

No worries... I have done plenty of 500+kms trips.. with the most recent being to diveagar last month...Originally posted by spiderweb View PostYou can surely join us, only thing is you have to do atleast a 500+kms ride with us before the Leh ride. so that we can get comfortable with each others riding style, its very imp for our safety

I have not done a 1000+kms trip... but no worries there too... I've rode my bike a couple of times for almost 10-12 hrs in a day...
I agree, solo rides have a totallee different feelin...Originally posted by kurtrules View PostInfact, I would think otherwise.

however, I'm not that well versed with the technical know-how of bikes... simple stuff such as changing cables, adjusting the chain is fine... but I'll be in a fix if something major happens...
so I think its best for me to travel in a group... atleast for my first major touring ride...Comment

Then again, to each his ownAgreed that SOLO rides are most memorable, but there is a gap between being crazy & being sensible (no offence meantOriginally posted by dcs View Post)
Lets say, one does Delhi-Chandigarh or Mumbai-Pune or Bangalore-Chennai, even daily, to say the least he's a good rider & a good tourer, but here we are talking about Leh. And you would agree that its nothing like the everyday ride on a highway, where getting water, food, petrol, mechanic, etc is very easy.
Well you both are big time tourers I dont need to tell you this, but Am just saying that its dangerous to do Leh solo, but i'll agree, super-adventurous too
Well dude, Diveagar is just 220 kms from Mumbai.Originally posted by neville_kc View Post
(500kms on normal roads is 100-150 kms max on Himalayan ghats)
By saying that you have to do a 500kms ride with us before Leh, we simply want to make sure that you are a safe rider, a team player & match our riding styles. Not a big deal for you, but for us it is as we want you & us to be safe & enjoy every bit of the BIG ride, I hope you understand
