Life is nothing but an adventure, you make the best out of it with good friends and good motorcycles. That's what @laalgypsy, @a_nomad_on_wheels and I signed up for when we decided to do a quick ride before the season closed. We rode from Jispa to Leh via the Zanskar route and planned to end it back at Jispa via the key la - Hanle - Umling la route. But mountains had a plan of their own and blocked us at Leh and then at sonamarg for a few days. Like @navrozecontractor once said, places aren't going anywhere, so we made good with whatever came our way and rode ahead. The weather kinda broke me but we plan to go do it again the next year as the passes open up. The motorcycles performed effortlessly well and brought in more energy, after having ridden various motorcycles across the country, I believe I have finally found my #TimeMachine. #ILOH #SarathShenoy #AdventuresOnAKTM #KTM #KTM390Adventure #390Adventure #Zanskar #ShinkuLa #BohichuLa #SingeLa #SirsirLa #KhardungLa #ChangLa #KTMIndia #ReadyToRace #GoAdventure #Travelgram #KTMAdventure

Most of the trips were on highways and, gradually, I started taking the less-taken roads and venturing into more interesting stuff. Speed gave way to slow and I did this for inner peace. It took me a while, but as I came out of my comfort zone, life became much easier to handle. New places, new people, and the experience that followed made me a better person. Landing up at random places at random time and being welcomed by a friend only known via social media or via someone whom you met en route, taught me the ways of life. We can always sit at home and be succumbed by what the media tells...

Long Distance Touring

  Most of us dream of riding across the country and exploring a new place. Many go back to the same location to relive their previous experience and maybe better their riding skills. Many break downs and bad calls later I am finally living out of a motorcycle. I started small and after many short distance or weekend rides, I gained confidence. Understanding of motorcycles, the route and a bit of people skills have come a long way. It’s been 10 plus years and every road trip is as exciting as the very first one It exciting to see someone just load up the bike and ride out into sunrise, but if he isn’t prepared well, the ride will turn into agony in no time. Thankfully the new age motorcycles have ensured lesser breakdowns and eliminated that bulk of spares we had to carry earlier. I am breaking down the preparation into five major parts,   Comfort zone -     Before you go exploring the lesser-known roads, stat with smaller trips. A day or a weekend trip will g...
