'holy cow'! Worswick hope you came out of the incident unscathed and in one piece. <<when I was less intelligent than I now am.>> I think I am going through that 'less intelligent' phase now and therefore the compulsion. <<Cows will be your big obstacle motoring around India on your bike: that and 900 million anarchists who own every road in India.>> I know I am sort of an expert now but had to cave in to my wife's nagging request first to have some additional insurance before i ventured into this rather dangerous avocation. I remember having felt the heart in my throat the first time around,funny I was only doing 30 miles an hour,it is all a bad memory now at least untill the next time. <<<The tour of Ladakh sounds absolutely fantastic on a bike: I wonder, however, how you tune a bike for 15,000 feeet in altitude, at that with Indian gasoline rated what? ... minus 2 octane?>>> I guess that is fun part, what is the point in driving around on a smooth 4 lane highway at 200 miles an hour where everybody obey the law,child's play if you ask me <gg>. As for Indian gasoline (petrol as we call it) i didn't know it even had any octane in it.

Worswick; <<I used to race Triumph Bonnevilles, 650cc. during a period when I was less intelligent than I now am.>> Its very coincidental that you mention this particular bike The absolute fastest I have ever gone (in or on any vehicle) was Triumph Bonneville 650, bored out to 720. I went 130 MPH according to the speedometer on a flat road in western Oklahoma. That was also back in the days during which I opped on testosterone instead of nuerotransmitters. Best, Stitch
