MISSING::::Chapter 1 - The Motorcycle Diaries


























































Gangtok - Goa! That was what we set out to achieve on our trusty Royal Enfields (just the bikes, the people at their factory down at Chennai suck!) and we achieved it alright. Me and another buddy of mine. Some self portraits from the trip... Top to Bottom: Me relaxed and enjoying the cool breeze at Chilka lake in Orissa waiting for the Irrawady dolhins, either they're very moody or maybe it was winter, they never surfaced! Then there's me tired and frustrated under the Vishakapatnam sun trying to customise an Electra clutch cable to fit a Machismo AVL, no mechanic for almost 200km radius. Thats my bike was we stopped at the next major bifurcation past Vizag and we had to decide whether we should carry on to Hyderabad or push on further down to Vijaywada, the latter won. And the last one is enroute from Khanapur to Hampi, a neverending truck jam for almost two hours to negotiate!!!!!
