I RECENTLY GOT THE THICKEST marker pen I could find and gave a big fat tick to a bucket list ride – riding the Himalayas and some of the highest motorable roads in the world. Riding the Himalayas has long been a dream ride for me. Whenever there’s movies on Mount Everest and the highest peaks in the world I’m all over them – I’d one day love to climb one of the highest 14 peaks, but riding some of the highest motorable roads in the world is something that turned from a dream to a reality with a big thanks to Royal Enfield Australia and Royal Enfield.
Thanks to Royal Enfield and Royal Enfield Australia I participated in Moto Himalaya 2022. I was one of three Aussie magazine Editors to attend, the other two were Dean Mellor from AMCN and Nigel Patterson from Road Rider. We were joining a group of ten Indonesian gents, with all of us riding Royal Enfield Himalayans…quite appropriate I thought. LOL!
Eight days of amazement, with amazing sights, amazing roads, crazy traffic, mental and physical challenges to deal with and trying not to eat curry for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
