Rode with him for breakfast till about Tambaram. My Ninja;s battery had some issues after the stop. So I had to return back & MG carried on till Madurai. It was not raining yesterday morning.

Good luck for the ride. If you are going on August 15-21 week, You may have to stay elsewhere (i.e Ride down 30+ Kms to Chinnamannur) since all hotels in Meghamalai are already booked. Ride Safe.

Dude when guys from Europe/US can ride to Leh.. We indians who are born and brought on our "awesome" roads can definitely do it.

Thanks man, will definitely click alot !!

[SriramEfunds]

People from Europe/US know to ride a bike. And to leh, it's hard to believe they don't come prepared.

Park your bike sriram.. you dont know to ride na? Dont generalise. There are idiots there and there are idiots here. For example,



If you want more search motorcycle crashes.

As for your other point, how can you prepare for leh in US/UK? You probably need a earth mover to make those kind of roads there. You can only prepare so much. Anyway you can read these guys ride report. Sport-Touring.Net - Indian Himalayans, 2 Royal Enfields, monsoon season: Maybe not the best idea... I've roads as pictured in the blog right out side my house.. they are digging up for laying sewer lines.. there is no road only. If meghamalai going guys want to practice they are welcome.. it should be atleast 500m long, you can do over it 60times and you are READY !

And also there is always a start. Every biker started somewhere.

This is us in 2010. How many are wearing riding gear? Today we act as if we dont touch our bikes without a helmet. We all have to start somewhere.

[SriramEfunds]

^The best example why everyone loves you here.

FYI.. I'm still learning how to ride safe.

EDIT: Cut the crap and whats your point? Does riding to Leh and Vendanthangal are the same? (I could not view the pic while at office)
