MotorsportTom your bar is ready for tending!! haha
The lack of tables at a camp fire in Jispa brought the creative side out in us. this bike was backed into the camp fire sitting area to make a bar.

This water pass on the road before Sarchu on the way to leh is called Pagal(crazy) Nala(stream). Thankfully this time on both our trips this Nala behaved. Last year it was really crazy and we had to turn back and try again a few hours later.

Thought this read like an advert. Guess it is when you read the next topic started by the OP.

Yeah, but this thread is harmless enough. The other one is a tad ham fisted.
Makes a nice change from "What helmet?/ Where do my feet go?/ what bike?/ What ointment?" etc

Not forgetting "what tyre", especially as it's winter(ish) over here now so we could have a debate on winter tyres for bikes smile

I'm not going running to the mods so don't worry. Not my type of thing.

If it reads like an advert then I apologize, this is my job and this my hobby. sometimes the business side of it takes over but in the end it's all about the ride and the journey. This is my first forum and I'm loving it

This thread is excellent, even though it is a bit of an advert. The other thread however ......

A the gates of Stok Palace, this was built by the king of Ladakh after the old palace was captured by Kublai Khan in 14th century. This is the however the story that goes around. The construction of the mobile tower next to the palace is a disgrace but place still has the heritage feel.

With photos like this I don't care if it is an advert!

A mate of mine recently did a similar trip and it looked fantastic

I don't think you can help it tbh as it's your business. Great pics though & I think it's something a lot of us would like to do one day.

Great pictures Rizzotherat. Pictures do look cool but being there on the top of the world looking down on life with your ride underneath you is something else. Hooli and Rizzo hopefully someday we can ride together.
