Hi every one, as you can guess from my user id my name is Yogesh Sarkar. As for the rest of the intro, hmm… What should I call myself; A Motorcyclist, An Amateur Photographer, A Computer Geek, An Avid Traveler or just a confused person trying to do all this in one life.

For starters, I am from New Delhi India. As you have guessed it from the above stated lines, my hobbies are; motorcycles, travel, photography and computers.

For me nirvana is riding in Himalayas on my 4year Bajaj Pulsar 180cc motorcycle. There is nothing in this world which comes close to riding in Himalayas.

Cheers

Welcome aboard.

I wouldn't my taking a ride in the Himalayas. Sounds fun, unlikely for me, but fun. Post some pictures if you can.

A video of Me, Salil, Sumit, Sunil, Shamik and Manik riding down from Khardung-La pass (18380feet), the video was shot by Salil. The beauty of it is, he held the cam in one hand while negotiating all the gravel filled turns. Video is compiled and edited by Sunil Gupta.

My first post here, so hello to all.

Simply amazing pics and video. Thats the kind of stuff post cards are made of. I think you could sell them if you can figure out how to market yourself.

You must all be very skilled riders as well. I wouldnt like those roads much right now, I am a beginner.

Your English is also quite impressive.

I look forward to future posts and pics from you, thanks for taking the time.

Beach. :mrgreen:
