hi redbullet,
we are planning to go the Leh in the summer of 2005. I’ll kee u in the loop as our plan evolves.
for linking the pisc i need to host them somewhere. most of the free websites have some access restrictions when you link from some other site.
also ftp is not working from here (bloody chaps in office have disabled ftp ) otherwise i would have uploaded the pics to someplace better.537.5 (860kms) miles in 18 hrs on a 150cc bike.
I still have a long way to go before i better your record … but i did not sleep

https://groups.yahoo.com/group/bikenomadshi folks,
823 miles in 1 day . that is a lot ! how were the roads ? we had all sorts of road.. and 150cc bikes
so i guess we were going real slow compared to you radar ID, there is no big diary that i lug around. This is what I do :
1. Xerox the pages of Loneley Planets “India & Bangladesh road atlas” which is the route i have to follow. These pages go into my jacket pocket. The book goes in my luggage if I need it somewhere else. (PS. If you ever plan on a journey to india, buy this book and come. the atlases you get here are not so accurate as this book).
2. Carry a small notepad . This is used to jot down time and kms and small notes.
3. Carry a digital camera. The pics also have the time information, so you can refer to those as well.
4. Reach back home, type the contents of the notepad onto the computer and fill in stuff from memory.
5. Send the log to friends with whom the journey is done for their feedback , and they will add a few things which you have missed.That’s it !
Welcome….
You never forget how to ride…

Not that I know of. The ZMA225 was developed solely for indian market in association with Honda.

I guess I should start looking for an alternative career .. IT is so boring.Hi Wheelie,
there is no law against the dark visors. in fact, in most of the cities, helmets are not at all compulsory. Sunny and rajnish are from delhi, where the helmet law is made compulsary – but it seems that girls can get away without wearing helmets ! strange is politics.
where I live (pune), there is no law at all. you can wear helmets – but most dont. I am so used to helmets, that i just don’t feel safe if i go out without wearing a helmet. I guess it depends on how you look at your head – an ornament or something indispensible.
I would not have been writing this if I had not had a helmet.No. It did not bounce back. Just that there was no response. Silence !
Hi freddy, looks like you are going the other way round. Most of the people I know liked to ride fast and now, as age is catching up with them, are shifting to touring, and not so much into speeding ! Looks like you are forever young !
I had sent emails at the above address but got no replies. Maybe I sent it wrongly. Can you suggest the content of the emails ?

}Nope.
No bikes allowed inside the national parks. You sure would not want to come face to face with an Elephant or a tiger on your bike []
so i guess we were going real slow compared to you radar
