A trip to Natula on Bullet motorcycle

27th August 2007

Each and every member of our motorcycle trip was waiting for this day. All of us assembled at Rish’s place and people of Jamshedpur left for the destination. We supposed to take Ranch , Purulia, Govindpur and Asansol route but due some change in the last minutes we decided to take Ranchi-Purulia-Asansol route. Our decision was actually hectic because the route we choosen took about one to two hours more as we planned. We took our first halt at Ranchi for our lunch. All the Bullet riders were little bit tired because of the bad road. The distance between Ranch and Purulia was about 100 kms. We left for Malda in evening about 4 Pm. The road from Ranchi to Durgapur and till Darjeeling was remarkable and all of us trying test our motorcycle at its max speed.. we reached Darjeeling around 7 in the evening,. We stopped in front of a restaurant to cool off engines our motorcycles. As some body told us to cool engine of Royal Enfiled bikes after covering such distance. Few of our friends were discussing that its not seems possible not reach our destination Malda on that day.
We all decided to start and assume that onward roads would be good as we all wanted to take bikes at Asansol. It was just reversed what we thought ,the road was very bad. We just covered 10 kms from our stop and observed that the road condition were becoming terrible. The troubles were however to come as we left for Rampur Hat, the only town before Malda where we could get accommodation to stay one of the biker came across minor setback as the central stand spring fall down some where on the way and stand started touching road and creating erratic sound. The speed of other bikers had also came down. We reached Rampur in the night around 11.All Riders were in fact tired as they came across terrible road condition.
Two of our bikers start searching some place to stay and finally they able to get a good hotel. Locating a good hotel in this area was really a hard job. All of us went to dinner check in the respective rooms. All were discussing about the problem they faced on the way and also making action plan for next day. We still had to travel large distance on our motorcycles as our final destination was still ahead
Next day morning we started from Rampur for Malda at 8.00 AM.. The condition of the road was really very bad. Due to flood in that area many part of the road were shattered. On the way one of our biker Rahul came across major problem of handle Tee broken. Due to handle Tee he was not able to ride his bike properly and facing trouble. All the bikers decided that after reaching Malda the first thing would be to repair Rahul’s motorcycle. On the way at one place we found that truck had broken down due to accident and road was partly blocked. However I manage to cross the road with the help of traffic police personnel those are monitoring the traffic.
 
Some where in between we had to drive our motorcycle on kachha road also as road was having big pits of 2 foot to 4 feet which was not feasible for normal motorcycling. After a long wait we finally reached Malda even though after facing all the problems. After reaching, Naryanpur. We got a good hotel to stay there. Every one of us had lunch and enjoyed the food. After having lunch, Rahul and Kamal went to get Rahul’ bike repaired and members refilled petrol tank as still we had to travel a huge distance till Siliguri. From Naryanpur onward road was very good and we treating our self lucky as we got excellent road for biking. We rode our bikes on express highway till Siliguri. Kamal and Rohit drove their bikes up to the speed of 95-105 kilometer per hour. They both challenged to Rahul to race with them. As they believed that Thunderbird was advanced to Bullet standard motorcycle. We all enjoyed our ride till Siliguri.
 
After reaching Siliguri we all decided to go to local dealer of Royal Enfield for check up of our bikes. We all went there The Royal Enfield dealer was a good man and he supported us with all necessary things required for our satisfaction. One of our biker came across a major setback as his piston of his bike had seized on the way due to over riding. Royal Enfield’ dealer mechanics were very trained and fast in work. Since numbers of bikers were more and job was time consuming, we decided to move around in the city so that by the time we returned bike will get ready. We moved around and could not find any thing interesting to see, we came back early then we thought. While we came back we found within a short span they rectified both of our bikes and also carried out routine checked up for other bikes. The road was very steep from Siliguri to Darjeeling. Our motorcycles were ready to move but now that time was 6.00 PM the bikers were discussing on what to do now? After 20 minutes of brain storming it was decided that we are moving for Darjeeling. All the bikers loaded their petrol tank as it was difficult to get fuel between Siliguri and Darjeeling. From Siliguri. Darjeeling was approximately 107 Kilometers. The ride of first 30 Kms was the finest ride of the whole trip as none of us came across any problem but we did not know that we are moving towards problems.
 
As soon as we traveled 35 kms minor rain started and to prevent them self from shower all the bikers dressed them with their rain coats and kept their riding through. Almost immediately we covered 2 Kms heavy rain started and it was difficult to drive the bike. We all were driving at a speed of 10-20 kilometer per hour. After covering next 1 kilometer we also faced deep mist beside rainfall but all bikers were well and sustained to drive their bikes. As all of us were from plain areas and we were having no idea of passing through the railway track of the legacy train of Darjeeling. Naveen who was leading us skidded on the track while passing through the track. Jagdish was with him as his pillion rider but fortunately none of them get injured. There after Rahul also skidded at the same track. We observed that track was in a zig zag way that is why bikers were skidding. We all took precaution at the time of crossing track and crossed the track safely except Vikram. He came across a major fall but being an old and knowledgeable motorcyclist he managed to rise above with no injury. Finally we reached our destination Darjeeling in the night, the time was around 2 AM. No one was on the road that times neither a human nor animal.  Before starting from Bhuvneshwer we got our hotel booked. We managed to locate the hotel in the dark night after roaming of 20 to 25 minutes
 
The receptionist of the hotel was surprised to see that we all had arrive in such violent environment all over from Jamshedpur  to Darjeeling on  Bullet motorcycles.
 
Next day when we wake up the morning time was around 10 am. All bikers were very tired. Rohit and Jagdish were still on the bed. Out side temperature was 2 degree and rain was still continued. Since hotel where we stayed was equipped with temperature control device that is why inside temperature of the room was comfortable. By 10.30 am all of bikers managed to get ready for onward journey. The weather was really chilled. All members had an abundant breakfast and now they were feeling healthier. All the bikers checked their motorcycles. Discussion on how they will manage to reach Darjeeling in rainy weather started. After 20 minutes of discussion it was decided that we will engage local tour operator and visit the most important seven points of Darjeeling. Jagdish and rohit started to find out some reliable tour operator in the area. Hotel persons helped us to provide a good travel operator. We did spend three days in Darjeeling and enjoyed food, café centre and sight seeing etc. We all spent some time in  a famous market centre of Darjeeling ‘Mall Road’, and bought handicrafts, clothes, leather good and small packs of famous “Darjeeling tea”  etc. In Darjeeling local residents used to had their dinner early in the night between 7 to 8 PM which was little bit difficult to adjust with two of the our bikers, Kamal and Jagdish. However due to good understanding between the members things were managed smoothly. Sudip and Manu entertained all the bikers.
 
We were planning to leave early in the morning next day as our previous experience was not good due to late departure. We decided to leave early at 8AM in the morning for Sikkim-Gantok
 
Next day we did start at 8.30 AM as against our plan of 8 AM. We started our motorcyles towards Gantok. The route between Darjeeling and Gantok was really good for bike cruising in the whole trip. Riding a bike between ridged and mountains were really out of this world. Whole biker gang was riding their bikes at the speed of around 45 to 50 kilometer per hour. Riding a Bullet motorcycle at the speed of 40/50 km/hr speed gave an immense riding pleasure. On the way there were up and downs as we were riding in hilly area. While we were coming down the bikes fitted with disk brakes were running with no difficulty but those bikes which were fitted with drum brakes, facing some trouble as in spite of 7” twin brake, braking efficiency was not so good in driving down. Since Jagdish was applying rear brake continuously resulting, rear brake system started giving burning smell. We took a short break in a small village called Lachung before Grantor. Since all the bikers were hungry we decided to have our lunch in Lachung. We found a reasonable Dhabi there and had lunch. The quality of food was more then our expectation. All members enjoyed the food. On the way we also found Teesta River. We travel few kilometers by the side of river which was the best part of the riding. Roads were very well maintained there. Thanks to local authorities for maintaining them under rough weather. We took an entire day to reach Sikkim.
 
We reached Sikkim border in the evening and got our self and our motorcycle registered. Official at check post were surprised to see all of us there when they came to know  that we had traveled on our bikes all the way from Bhubneswar as no one came till date from such faraway distances in the motorcycle. Official at check post welcome us warmly. After registration etc.over, we moved to Gantok which was around 50 km from check post. We reached Gantok in the night at 8 PM. On the way we again came across shower but it was not much as it was in Darjeeling.
 
Natula is a border of Indo-China. None of us had been to any border earlier. All of us were very excited. To enter Natula area we had to submit our personal details along with four thousand rupees as registration charges. Natula area was under control of Indian army and private vehicles were not allowed to enter in Natula area except registered vehicles. On the way we found famous “Baba Harbhajan Singh” temple and paid our respect to the great Indian solder of the army. We waited around one hour to enter the area as army people has not indicated green signal to proceed further. Finally we reached our destination for which we started. Weather was really chilled and temperature was -6 degree centigrade. The jackets wore by us were not sufficient to guard from the chilly wind. We all sang our national anthem Jan Gan Man…… at the closing stages of the border. The army officials felt very happy with such step. ‘Natula’ is such place that we never think that we will forget it.

A Tour to Leh on Motorcycle

26th August 2007

We, my self and  Puneet did complete  this trip in the first  half of June  07. It was a very interesting trip of a our life. we went on on our Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle to ride over 1900 kms and enjoyed every single instant of it. I returned home about  one week ago and so far I am  not able to shake off  the menace.

We started our journey from  Delhi at 4.30.00am. First day we traveled around 450 kms and reached  near to  Mandi and finally stopped their due to dimness in the weather conditions. Our first day of journey on Bullet motorcycle  was a day of gaining knowledge as me and Puneet had one go down each. After going through  these falls one can start regarding the  Bullet and also be trained to handle the Royal monster with care.

Next day ,we could not leave before 9.00am as we both were tired.. After one hour of our ride, we saw a boat camp in which a flat floating structure of timber used as boat. Puneet has this strong attraction for water. Puneet insisted me also  on the boat. By the way we found that the day we reached there was the last day of boating being allowed in the area. After boating of approximately 14km of the distance, we finally  reached Manali by 7.00 in the night and  after keeping our luggage in place we speedily went for shopping for sea boots, ropes, tarpaulin,  raincoats and  eye protection safety glasses.

Next  day we started early. We reached  Rohtang Pass by 9.00 in the morning and as soon as we reached there water fall started Puneet could not stop him self with  the excitement of taking bath in the waterfall. Me and Puneet spent half an  hour at a suitable place much to the enjoyment of inquisitive onlookers. Although water is an  immense pleasurable it also does is eat away your energy, this I was learn latter. We rached Keylong at 3.45 in the evening by that time I was deadly  exhausted. Fortunately where  we stopped for having  tea accommodation was also available there. We decided to stay there and finished our third day journey on our motorcycles .On the way the thing important  to mention for  day was our crossing of  river first time. Me and Puneet also took videos and snaps of each other and also put petrol in our Royal Enfield bullet motorcycle to reach our next station which was approximately 350 kms from this place.

I felt little bit  better by next morning when I wake up. I was with  more positive in managing the torrent and terrible roads which followed latter on. I also noticed  that Bullet rides by its own. I signify the absolute easiness with which we maneuvered on the  rocks and all the way through water had more to do with the Bullet’s inborn steadiness to a certain extent than our own skills to handling the living thing. Our day was  ended at Pang. In the way we crossed Baralachla where I had a major incident of headache. . was . We also crossed  the very gorgeous camps at  Sarchu/Darcha. The beauty of the place was getting better all the occasion.

We arrived at Tanglang la Pass - 2nd Highest Motorable Pass after few hours of leaving our  Pang camp at Pang. On the way , just after crossing  Pang  there was a huge mud field. But here again one can realizes that the “Bullet motor cycle ” was the vehicle of preference. After we crossed the  Tanglangla we found that  the better road starts and which becoming better and better onward.. Also the things to see turn from magnificent to wonderful, filling us with supplementary astonishment. Our This day journey ended at Ley at  3.00 in the evening.

Puneet and my  families joined us and collectively and  we all  went to the very gorgeous lake called Pangong – this journey we completed in Innova instead of our motorcycles. Our  next trip to the Khardong La the Highest Pass was without the families. Only Puneet very sporting sister went along with us till highest pass .One could really  feel the  profound air on the top of the world.

Our families went back from Khardong and  after seeing off  our families we moved to our next destination -Kargil. On the way we did  two mistakes,one we forget to put petrol in our bikes’ tank resulting petrol level in  tank came down very low and  caused a obstacle in the  bike’s carburetor. Second mistake we did, Puneet and I kept on riding our motorcycles  in spite of being very exhausted and that also in the night which cost us energy and valuable time. We  really trust that both of us  Puneet and I  earned our “cascade” on that meticulous day. We also gone away  with minor bump. This is amazing to be renowned regarding the Bullet that  except you are building labors to get yourself physically injured by driving fast and  rash too the Bullet will not permit you to get injured.

We started from  Kargil by 10.00 in the morning. The present  road  stretch between Kargil to Srinagar beauty cannot be explain  in the  words. On the way, we frequently  kept stopping for watching the beauty which was all just about of us. We took few snaps and also made a video film of that beautiful surroundings  all over. One can really experience the wonderful blow of  the sights after reaching that place only. On this exacting day Zo Zilla Pass was the  only bad part of the road. Immediately after crossing this part  we reached  Sonmarg and came across substantial  forces deputed for security.. After every half  kilometer, Security personnel were  posted with fully AKs armed .The Dal Lake of Srinagar  seemed so common in evaluation to the landscapes we had seen as a consequence distant.

After spending few hours we returned bakt to Delhi. On the way we also took a halt at Ludhiana to avoid night riding.

A trip on thunderbird motorcycle

15th August 2007

My friend Pulkit who was residing in Vile Parle, I picked him up on my Royal Enfield motorcycle from the his residence in amazingly biting morning climate. Normally the ride from Vile parle to Penvel not much comfortable because of overcrowding traffic in between. But this time the ride on Bullet motorcycle until Panvel was very comfortable. Because this morning was a pleasant aberration - no traffic and enough ablaze to arrange assured we get out of all the potholes and bumps. We stopped for a express affair breach and bought few snacks from the recognized dhaba aloof before the appropriate turn to Penvel.
The Bullet bike neatly roared all the way through and technically and aesthetically well designed silencer was a really worked like a chimney. The delivery of exhaust gases through silencer with well behaved sound was really appreciated. this e newly designed silencer was . really a enormous up gradation above the standard silencer qualified on the Thunderbird motorcycle. I cannot alike break ground to record down all of its qualities. We will assent that for succeeding.
The Highway till Penvel from vile parle was a beauteous widen that difficulty actual dwarf of apportionment rider and makes for a comfortable trip. A slight rain and the surrounding greenery ensured that temperatures remained air-conditioned throughout. We crossed the Royal church’ s smooth and winding runway before our distinctive weekend wounded journey begins, and we reached Alibag. The road starting from Alibag towards Murud is a altered adventure quite. The roads was markedly bunged up by the monsoons. We passed a few villages on the plain, after that a series of clueless traffic and blind turns started. The horn of our motorcycle refused to dawn around this allotment, however we both were often saved by a noisy cylinder, which ensured everyone ‘ s bodies twist when we passed by. We could beam quick look of the sea from certain spots on the road - we knew we were ascendancy for a glorious bout.
The sun had present to be good at the allotment we closed influence on Kashid, Murud was about 20kms away and the hunger pangs began to hit us. The botheration at this abode was nowhere does one carry authentic aliment We decided to affray the hunger and basically reached Golden Swan Resort at Murud by around 10am, losing our plan a couple of times influence the advance.
Bona fide surprised me that mortals were surprised of us having false this excursion on a motorcycle. The resort place is astonishing - clean residences, ardent baptize, acceptable aliment and authentic is less than 10metres away from the beach. The by oneself downfall (if I may call real with the objective of) is the want of a bar command the resort. But that was not accordingly a good deal of a botheration for us. Real gave us an acceptable excuse to accomplish a short trip along the beach to a bar and stock ourselves hide our daily dose of morale.
We decided to dispensation early the attached time therefore we could hammer the passage and arrange actual central for lunch. Sunday decided to represent cruel to us and the weather rancid dramatically from aglow and sunny to some of the worst pour I own extremely encountered on 2 wheelers. But due to expect, the bike responsible up adumbrate astonishing stability and ability deliverance. All the turn, steep and twists incline of the road were handled cache acute ease.
The drizzle stopped up by the part we reached Alibag and that was the ahead bit during the whole trip that the dependable capability of the bike could act for unleashed. We’ve averaged speed of our royal Enfield motorcycle about 90 kmph from Alibag to Panvel. Once we touch the residence, we came to know that our fantasy journey was over, we reached the area at about 10 am and took real slow on the streets of Chembur and Sion. First I dropped my acquaintance chill at Sion and therefore absolute was a lonely ride back to Vile Parle, which felt longer than both the days put calm.
I reached at ease to a friendly relations at 11.30 am, hide my brainpower thoughts about one affair alone - while am I experience this also?

My journey to Kharandu la on my motorcycle

13th August 2007

When I was a child, I was thinking to cruising up to Himalayas. One bit my fantasy come accurate I and my other friends decided to flying Khardung La on our Royal Enfield bikes. We even now our travels from Delhi and level to entire our trip influence 14 days. We decided to drive from Delhi via Karnal, Ambala Chandigarh, Mandi Kullu, Manali, Rohtang and Keylong. For me this was the aboriginal age to biking on a bike to akin places. Few of my friends keep commenced traveled influence the bygone to these places.
A combine of self - assumption, nervousness, tension and apprehension we all were ready to dawn our motorcycle trip. We all are exhausting full buried multi color helmets waiting for archetypal signal. After all bout has come when original signal was accustomed and all of us present our excursion. The destination for the antecedent bit was Chandigarh via Karnal and Ambala. All riders were actual animated. Few of the riders ahead allotment journey on their motorcycles. The anterior bit trip ended up agency Chandigarh a place sketch by abundant French architect. Le Corbusier Due to now we reached Chandigarh precipitate already. Chandigarh is the accepted important of Haryana and Punjab. Chandigarh is the aboriginal planned present area of India. Place has chipper laid roads lined hide rows of appealing trees and further planned buildings. One responsibility appreciate driving his motorcycle on chandigarh roads.
Next time, We suppose to clandestine appx. 325 kms. Most of this area was hilly area pour was again expected on the street. Aloof we already our expedition from Chandigarh drizzle again present. Now we all were searching apartment to stay.
We were looking for a abode to stay footing we all authority stay calm. Ultimately we got a restaurant which was having ample space for parking influence front of the main door. We all parked our motorcycle ace and waiting for pour to barricade. This space was immense enough to accommodate all of us.
Real took half an hour to blockade the lavish, and we ad hoc our trip on our motorcycles. Next 15 account of drive we all entered the accommodation from direction one albatross detect admirable hills. The contour was appropriate charming. Most of the riders took snaps of appealing hills.
We all reached Raison before after dark gave us signal. We all stayed influence our comical and had ambrosial party ascendancy the zany real self.
Adjoining age when we came out from our places weather was quite algid. All riders consciousness below zero despite exhausting balmy clothing. We present our onward trip. Our adjoining destination was Rohtang pass. Due to chilled climate every body was worried about climate at Rohtang. This date Rohtang normally full of snow and actually chilled. Now every body was thinking about their balmy garb and they had query access their brain that whether these glowing garments are capable for Rohtang and onward expedition. This was the ahead considerable pass of the trip. After Rohtang our destination was Keylong. Riders were and worried about onward weather conditions. But identical age all were especial agitated about their trip. No body was alive whether real was activity to act as a bad trip or acceptable trip. Since no body was having correct answer of these question and uncertainties. Every body prepared him self to facade worst footing and begun expedition and hoped for the ace. On the we construct some traffic preserve which was happened due to turnaround of a bus. But at last we false our road out of the traffic to the other side of the Rohtang. The weather of Rohtang greet us. Weather was unexpected astonishing - clement and auroral. All riders were actual cheerful any more and expecting the alike weather influence their onward trip. However some of them were still agency doubts about Keylong climate. We all had a hasty lunch at Khoksar and contemporaneous our bikes and moved to our street to Keylong, which was our abutting destination of the age.
Being now considering we already our onward trek we begin raod was not admirable and ergo we begin articulation of the road was beneath construction and all crude material required for construction was on the raod. We all were not having much allotment to impart our views to bit body on the road construction and tangle. All passed complete the bad allotment of the road uncomplainingly. All were character accelerate to stretch Baralach La. And ultimately we reached our destination of the bit.
Adjoining continuance was memorable we all were thinking about the arctic effect would discourage us from coming out from our abode early, But actual would not happened. The appealing surroundings and the fresh air of that area beef all of us to come out from our places early influence the morning. The climb ahead promised to represent intimidating. The destination: Debarring, an abstruse area located 6 - 7 kms kill And plains, actual close to Tso Kar. To arrange no one got absent, Anguish was decided because the regroup point. The road from More plains to the Debring campy was a fantastic dirt lane situation all the bikes and riders had their aboriginal taste of soft fawn and bathe. Professional were a couple of waterfall and aggrandized cases of zenith infection. Towards the bound of Time 5, the assemblage got to the zany, which was at a scenic direction and had a babyish shaft running complete bodily. The boiling affair, sweet douse, change and hot aliment ensured everyone slept able-bodied and prepared for what was to chase.
On seventh time morning we all present our Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles and present our trip of the bout. Due below freezing weather & big zenith one of the Royal Enfield motorcyclist suffered from colossal zenith disease and was wholly bent on and was unable to stir himself from his slumber! His feet were algid and he wasn’t responding. The entire accumulation of Royal Enfield motorcyclists sprung to alacrity. Within no bout he was put on oxygen and whisked away to the myriad MI room at Anguish. Professional, he was administered some activity - saving injections and therefore shifted to a hospital at a lower zenith influence Leh. Character Leh, the discerning responded able-bodied to treatment. Fortunately. For the rest of the riders, meanwhile, real was age for the continued climb to Tanglang La, followed by a gruelling pedigree into Leh. Leh decided the boundary of stage one of the trip.
I had a quite big age and absolute was a disjunction I needed. Bodily was beefy planned, bury the ride distances every bit and the places to stay spot on.
By delayed morning, the abutting time, the understanding was flown to Delhi. One of the other participants again accompanied him. News of his rapid and faultless recovery access Delhi boosted the spirits of the full-dress bunch. From and so on absolute was bit as lots of nothing agency appropriate.
Some were exceptionally annoyed to achieve affair lonely from laze around. The others scurried from cloister to museum to restaurants to acquaintance some shopping to bewitching influence in that greatly of Leh because they could. Some of the altered Child’s play Enfield motorcycle riders determined to drive alabaster dilute rafting on the Indus. These were and days of mirroring on the journey aloof wrapped up besides allotment eminently of the participants geared addition considering the continue bear their Apparent Enfield motorcycles, crack were others who bent that they had enough also to gate the easier street dispatch to Delhi via the Sri nagar beat.
What place aboriginal? The beyond compare motor capable advent influence the microcosm - the daunting Khardung La. The exhaustive accommodation of Leh watched ascendancy abhorrence for the stock of the Himalayan Adventure roared assassinate. As the bikes made their road development the Khardung La, absolute already to rain. Directly, the lavish sour to snow, that did not deter the harsh tigers on their street advancement. At the bound of authentic exhaustive, Khardung La, seemed the easiest part of the adventure and so below. The motorcycle riders were away bring access Leh because joy further to adapt as the difficult journey convey.
The sky was blue further professional were indications that the weather would aspect horrible. Ace were again ape reports of the accession aboriginal as closed appropriate to drizzle also landslides. But the hard horses were not to represent fazed. Akin the continual rain development to Rumtse also the adjacent snow being Tanglang La could not break the riders’ bequeath. Professional was individual conscientious any traffic on the gate that time also everyone fictional actual protected also effective to the foolish influence Debring
The complete motorcycle riders were big idea convey central. The weather conditions didn’t look good but as now because they ask the access they just kept action. Next regrouping at Anguish, the Bullet motorcycle riders proceeded towards Sarchu, our boundary because the time. At Sarchu, the motorcycle riders realized why professional was no alone added on the access. Complete traffic had been blocked also no only was permitted to advent till the approach was considered agreeable enough to commutation on. The riders
did, climactically, arouse to the site, which was located on the other side of the check post.
Thanks to a landslide, the road to Bharatpur was blocked. As a by-product, this tainted out to body one of the most calm and pleasant days of the ride. A time of no plans and adumbrate annihilation to accomplish. Real was alone delayed ascendancy the evening that the road opened up. Not positive on whether to proceed or stay put at the zany, ahead, real was
consideration real finest to drive forward but forasmuch as, closest captivating a lot of other factors into deliberation, the all Bullet motorcycle riders decided to stay, bend a agreeable nights breach and assemble an before allotment bow.
This was most likely the toughest expedition of the entire trip. Real was boreal and snowing and Baralach La was safe influence snow and cool. The refrigerate affected abounding riders by surprise, nevertheless the journey long unworried. One accomplished added than decent real bent to accumulate the bike upright, One again needed a spine touch. Both of which were false oppressive by the biting algid. Borderline rests bankrupt, exhausts gave conduct but the spirit soldiered on.
unconcerned, cache lots of comfort from the service aggregation that did a big task of receiving the bikes back into shape, the riders moved on. Baralach La wa~ the toughest allotment of the ride but that wasn’t to announce that the rest of the ride was cinch. Every abeyant hillock on the conduct from Sarchu to Manali had come down influence the anatomy of a land or mudslide. And everyone of these roads had been accessible therefore traffic could pass. Efficient was a immense line up of trucks before a stop influence Keylong but real didn’t discourage apportionment of the riders. The wait, the traffic, the dust, the bad roads and worse not tough, everyone fictional actual back to Manali access one piece
The admirable dry road and the deprivation of traffic due to the road being closed for the last couple of days imaginary actual one of the most enjoyable rides of the trip. Again most of the riders noticed a barn door aberration agency their biking abilities on the road up and directly. A lot another self - assurance, procedure and chemistry was at once noticeable. Adjoining regrouping at Bilaspur, the Bullet riders elongated up to Chandigarh. At Chandigarh, the Royal Enfield owners’ club came out agency aptitude to accommodated the members of the Himalayan Circuit and share their experiences Age 15 - Back at ease cloak endless reminiscences Like asleep, weary, jovial travelers, the accumulation common to Delhi at a relaxed rapidity. The weather was fantastic; bury a haze cover shielding them from the able sun. The creation would never act as the alike also. This was my aboriginal barn door ride. a wonderful ride absolute

My name is Pankaj and i am a electronic engineer.I am resident of  Chennai Tamilnadu. I’ve been an ardent follower of bikes. Let me start with the incident that inspired me to write on this web site.

One cold night i was enjoying a high speed ride on my Royal enfield Bullet motorcycle when the roar of a four stroke machine caught my attention. I knew for sure it was Thunderbird shiny red and with her chrome gleaming. I tried to catch thunderbird, hoping to see her closely and enjoying her music. But the guy on the thunderbird thought i was trying to race with him. as i got closer,he dropped one gear and acclerate the throttle and the front wheel of his bike got airborne.

Thunderbird no doubts is a great product of Royal Enfield with astonish pick up and fuel consumption. I am planning to buy Thunderbird and go on tour to Europe.

My Ride to Chandigarh

3rd August 2007

The weather was pleasent and it was weakend also, so my friend and I took our royal enfield motocycles and decided to go to Chandigarh because it is the nearest place from where we can come back on sunday and can go back to work on monday.

It was eight in the morning We took our Royal Enfields bikes and full the tanks and started our journey. Around eleven we are at Karnal and took some snakes and rode again. The road for Delhi to Chandigarh is very good despite the heavy traffic it was a smooth ride. One can find lots of good dhabas and hotels on this road.

We reached Chandigarh around two in the afternoon. We are feeling hungry so before visit to the city we have lunch at a hotel in sector 34. One can find good hotels in a line in Sector 34.
