HMR,

Thank you for sharing. There is so much inherent beauty in the world.

Could you post a map to give us a glimpse of where you were on your
trip?

I think I have to make a pilgramage. :O)

Jesse,

The Himalayas are simply a great gift for motorcyclists. It's like an Alice in Wonderland
rabbit hole that takes you on a magical trip everytime you visit it. And yes, you should
make this pilgrimage ;-)

Will try and post a kml file so you can see the route on Google Earth. The ride was in the
Spiti region of Himachal Pradesh, India, a part of which was one of the old trading routes
between India and Tibet

Cheers

Pictures from the Himalayas are the only ones in which I've seen
mountains, snow, green plains, rocks, water, blue sky and clouds - all
in the same picture. Got to be phenomenal to ride there.

The dilemma is whether to enjoy the challenges that the ride brings or the phenomenal
panaromas one snakes through. Sometimes you give in to one impulse and sometimes to the
other. The Bullet is just perfect for tasting each mile one way or the other.

Indeed. I used to tend toward the former, but as I get older I tend a
little more toward the latter. Either way is good! Another dilemma is
whether to concentrate on the ride, or to stop to take pictures. I used
to take more pictures but then had to wait to look at the pictures to
see where I had been. Now I tend to focus (heh) on the experience, but
I'll take a picture or two if I'm by myself. If I were riding where you
ride, I might be compelled to take a few more. Thank you for
interrupting your ride long enough to share some photos with us.

Cheers

Very nicely put, HMR!  No dilemma for me though - I've always just
liked life in the slow lane!

All the best,

Lawrence
