It really has been too long

Table of content Part 1 Part 2 Learning from our past two days experience, we decided not to ride in the day till we reach Jammu. This was one of the best decisions we’ve had in the past three days. Our plan was to sleep during the day and start riding in the evening so that we could escape the wrath of the mighty sun Day 3 - Jhansi to Chandigarh Date : 30th May 2018, Tuesday Distance to cover : 705km...

Finally, it was the day. 27th May 2018. We were supposed to start riding by 4.30. You know the plans never work properly, at least with lazy people like us.

Your clothes mostly. There are different ways you can carry your things. Tank bags, saddle bags, normal bags etc. Saddle bag Saddle bags are great. They offer a lot of storage and they are a must if you are traveling long distance....

Malaysian Visa for Indians - Everything you need to know (and more)

If you are in a hurry and want to know the solution instead of reading the whole story, just scroll to the TL;DR section Backstory I have been running around in India in my motorcycle for a few years now. My first ever international trip was to Indonesia And with that came a lot of surprises. I booked a flight ticket from Bangalore to Surabaya (I wanted to visit the ever so famous volcano, Mount Bromo - more on that on a future post)....
