    Old man on a bike

    Good day to you all. I am a Brit septuagenarian (76), biker and writer. I have explored the Americas over the past three years on a Honda 125, 60,000Ks. Now for India in search of the magic discovered in my youth - or in flight from my years, a six month ride beginning in October. A Honda 125 is the perfect steed - though with a custom seat!
    As to where, in part a retracing of past travel, all the way south, north to Nepal, both oceans, desert, mountains, cities, hill stations.
    I shall be immensely grateful for advice...

            Welcome, Sir.

            As Sunny said, it is truly an honor having you amongst us here in xBhp.

            I am quite certain this will help you. A certain biker from Bangalore, South India started his journey a few months back covering a lot of India. It is yet to come to an end, but right now he is in Nepal. Below is the link to his beautiful journey so far.

                              Dear Siman

                              Welcome

                              I am 50 years old spend 30 years of my life in designing clothes for women, but recently I have changed my attitude towards life, we live only once and I would want to see the world on a bike.

                              Want to start with India first (Leh & Ladakh than to the east and last south ).

                              I am new to this community and Xbhp Team has been very kind, I am sure you will get a lot of help and suggestions here. I am from Pune which is close to Mumbai. If you require any help please count me in.

                              Regards
                              I can make it

                              Oops.... No I can't
