Hi
Iam from the best biking country in the world,INDIA where you can ride up to 5600 meters or along 5000 kilometers of coastline or spend months riding the back trails thru forests Ride a 1952 flash & a 1961 Super Rocket.See you guys in India
Anji
now, now. mexico ain't too shabby in that regard. next sunday we are going to ride from chapala to mazamitla from an elevation of 5200 feet to 7200 feet. nice little day trip. mazamitla looks like a swiss village.
there ain't too many curry places here though-just one here at the lake and a few in guadalajara *sad2*.

Anji,
Great to hear from you. Your tour is still on my bucket list, though, I must admit, kicking it (the bucket, that is) might have to come first.

Pedro,
Check out Anji's website at http://www.ventureonwheels.in/ . I am going to say that Anji has been very modest in the area of self promotion, maybe too modest.

Phoenix, Arizona.  By now, even most of the die-hard riders around here have parked their bikes in the garage for the next couple of months in favor of the air conditioned family car.  When it's 115 (46 C for most of the rest of the world), sitting with a hot motorcycle engine between your legs just isn't as much fun as it should be.  The old joke goes: "But it's a dry heat".  "Right.  Just like the inside of your oven!".

Anji,

"Venture" or "Dare"? That's beautiful rugid ground. Seems like there might be a few less stop signs and lights than driving around Chicago suburbs.

Hi all.

Just musing on a monday afternoon as ya do and thought I would add my two-pennorth.
Originally from the U.K. but settled now into the French rural life, Charente, SW.
Great roads around here, virtually no traffic, the odd 2cv with a happy (read Drunk) frenchie behind the wheel.
Good wine and dirt cheap.
Got a good stock of BSA and Triumph stuff which has been collected over the years, use to be in the trade. So if anyone down here gets stuck, give us a shout.

Regards Chris.

So, anyone redoing their garden can get dirt cheap?

Here's what my alter-ego does: Ship my bike to Europe (for these purposes, let's call the UK part of Europe), explore the faraway corners, visit forum members, replace parts as I go. Then, on to India, Austrailia, ........etc. Then, kick the bucket.

It's probably a good thing I don't let him out.

Hi Anji
  I have to say I love a good cury!  Jeff

Hi Jeff
Agree, difficult to beat a good curry. Want me to send you some recipes?

Hi Pedrochapala
Heard mexico is a beautiful biking country.Love their music.
By the way, here in India we bike up to 18400 feet. Attaching a photo of me & my son at the pass. This is the highest motorable road in the world

Hi Andy

The photos posted are on the back roads of Himachal, & yes probably the same roads you biked on. When did you last ride here

You need to come again. The wife & kids can sit in the support vehicle which accompanies the safari & can take it in turns to ride pillion.

Take care
Anji
