Couple of my videos from riding in India on a Royal Enfield

[rogerdodger]

This was put together from a lovely ride up Rohtang La in the foot hills of the Himalaya. La means pass and Rohtang means pile of corpses! This pass isn't the highest elevation on the fantastic ride to Ladahk, but it is usually one of the most difficult. During the monsoons the heavy clouds race up through India and this is the first pass that they hit, so they dump everything on it. Its only open for a brief few months during summer then closed in again due to the amount of snow. Even in summer it can be closed due to landslide or sudden rains, or broken down Tata's! Anyway this was a fantastic day in October. Very late in the season and very rare.

My friends live in Goa for about 8months of the year, then they come back for summer and do the rallies, parties, shows etc. over here. They too, pack up their Enfield and go exploring all over India.

Time before last that I visited Goa and met up with them, and went three up on their Enfield around Calangute, the looks we got from the natives was of sheer surprise and amusement...which I thought was funny considering how families in Asia ride around on scooters and noone bats an eyelid.

Thanks for sharing your recordings.

I've seen a fair few videos on Youtube of people riding round India. It looks.... erm .... interesting.
I should imagine 6 months over there and your reactions and observations will be as sharp as a really pointy stick !

I was thinking the roads looked pretty decent for Indian highlands and then towards the end of the first video the usual dirt track with a mile drop on one side appeared

Amazing scenery though,sad it's always the most deprived and under developed places that have the best views .....like Scotland
