    Riding through the foothills of the Himalayas

    The next set of pics are of the day I travelled to a remote village deep in the Himalayas called Charang from my base location in Kalpa, Distt Kinnar. The village is at a height of 3550 ASL. The road was opened only a few years ago parts of it were horrendous, narrow, with deep cliffs on the...

    Riding through the foothills of the Himalayas

    I went on a bike ride in the last week of November, to India. My destination was the district of Kinnaur in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. The name of the state, translated into English means the land on the foothills of the Himalayas. The average height of the district was around 3000m...

    India Trip From Revzilla CT

    Umling La was recently opened up to foreigners with an ILP (Inner Line Permit). I guess that's why the hype around it. A decade or so ago, there was similar hype around Khardungla - the then highest road at 18, 380 ft.

    2023 Day Trips!

    You always have the option to upgrade once the monetization strategy changed. I also had a photobucket account. I payed for a month, downloaded all my photos and moved on from the platform. Nothing is forever

    2023 Day Trips!

    I use Flickr. The first 1000 pics are free to upload and manage. Original size 50MB files directly from Lightroom can be easily uploaded. Then you add the link here. Post 1000, the pro account is a few dollars a month. But I am yet to extinguish my free limit - I have had the Flickr account for...

    Last Youtube Video of MaxWrist at Deals Gap

    I have seen a lot of his videos. Why do I feel he does it on purpose. Puts himself into a situation where he most likely will crash, and gain online attention. Some of his crashes were outright horrific. I remember one when he crashed into a crash barrier at high speed and was flung over into a...

    Earbuds that stay in your ears

    This is something I need to check out. I use the Cardo 4x JBL in the AGV K6, but my experience with speakers in that helmet has not been good. My ears start to hurt after 2 hours or so. This isn't the case with my older AGV K3SV with a similar setup. Hence, I have been using the K3 more often...

    What the heck….mental hesitation…

    Interesting conversation. I have been a victim of mental hesitation often enough to realize that I am not the kind of rider who appreciates roaming randomly. I have understood my emotions and mental state before I go out for a ride, and there is a drastic difference in my enthusiasm for a ride...

    Tire mismatch phuckery?

    Do they need to match? Each time I went to Ladakh, I used a different tyre for the back vs front. Hmm..

    Tim's Credit Card

    With a bit of effort and strategy, to determine which card to use for what purchase, and paying the bill off in full each month, it is always better, financially and otherwise, to pay for a transaction with a credit card vs. cash. E.g. For each Tim's transaction, if you were to use an Amex...

    Chain Maintenance - and go!

    On my V-Strom, I like to clean the chain before I use the lubrication. So it's a two-step process: a) Use WD 40 and and old rag, and clean the chain thoroughly and b) Lube the chain. Currently using: Maxima Chain Wax Every couple of rides or between 1000-1500 kms

    2023 Ride Report - North Shore of St. Lawrence

    Wonderful! Your eloquent words and vivid descriptions truly transported me to the destinations you explored. I remember visiting Tadoussac in 2019 with my family and wondering where the 138 road ends. We went only as far as the Marine Environment Discovery Centre.
