Riding the GQ - Realizing my dream - more riding less pics

Aaha!!! Thanks for your wishes, but I'm married man with 2 kids & especially in a country like India, where society & family are closely knitted unlike the US where such things are appreciated. Here riding to work everyday for even 15 mi is considered irresponsible & unsafe. World tour? Me? Will scare the s*** out of people. I'll be termed maniac & locked up in an asylum!!! Lol

One can dream. Perhaps voyeuristic participation. Have you seen "Long Way Round" or "Long Way Down" DVDs? If not, you should try to find them. Very much worth the watch, in those rare times you may have available to do so.

Surprisingly I only took my Nelson Rigg Spirit 30 tail bag; I'm glad I took that. No other modification, absolutely none.

Coming up Day 1 & more...

A different kind of a trip from your past ones, with a different objective, but inspirational none the less.

It is interesting to note that you didn't do much in the way of preping the bike for the trip.

It was the same for my several tours around Europe when I was working in England. My CB250RS was more than 12 years old, and looked it, but I kept the maintenance up to date, and was familiar with the bike.

When the opportunity arose (usually after sheep shearing had finished, with ploughing after harvest two or three weeks away) I just threw a bit of gear in a bag which I bungied on the tank, and a tent bungied on the back, told my mates I would see them in a bit and off I went.
