Next Chapter - Same Story of Riding in Himalayas!!

To all who know me or have read my blog even once will know my love for Himalayan motorcycling.
All these years, there was hardly a day I haven't thought about Himalayas or my motorcycle adventures. And with a half heart (that soon escalated to a full scaled road trip plan), I thought about doing a ride in Himalayas while checking flight tickets to Delhi (I am in Sydney). And if it wasn't for my own blog posts, I wouldn't have taken this step of deciding to terminate my work contract for travel.

Last weekend I went to Motorcycle Accessories store in Auburn, I liked it. It's huge and has so much variety of everything. I did my first shopping for ride:


On my way back, I kept thinking this line which gave me further kicks about the upcoming ride:

'Too old to break free, too young to give up my dreams'

I am traveling to Delhi on 4th June with my son, have to do a lot of personal stuff there, meeting people, family but if you ask me most important thing - for me it's getting hold of a good bullet mechanic to get my bullet up from ruins (not started in last 3.5 years).

Signing off for now, will be back soon!

20th May'19: Gave a 2 week notice of contract termination at office. Would you believe someone quitting a high paid job, 3 digits per hour dollars! Yes I can do this. A whatsapp message from a friend read - You are lucky you can get 7 weeks off from work.
My reply - I earn to live, not live to earn, I don't know about you. He went silent after that.
When I come back in late July, I won't have a job but I will come back as a more learned and experienced man and I am not worrying about that time from now.

So last week I bought a new phone with 4000 mAH battery capacity, just to not worry about battery on the ride, although at most of the places there won't be mobile phone connectivity.
