Nomadic Knights-Himalayas Roof of India

and only days after we rode the same road, in the same valley, and waited 6 hours whilst they blew a previous rockslide with demolition charges, 3 times.

Yup . My thoughts too.
That rock fall on your link was in the area circled in red.

That's a popular area for sure. And I'm pretty sure there are some decent trail riding level trails in there too. Like difficult single track .... So do you guy's fly and buy bikes or do you just rent them when riding out west? ... there's a place here in denver that rents bikes, but mainly GS's for like 200 a day. Wouldn't take long to pay for a small trail bike it seems ....
 
I think I rented from that place in Denver a couple of years ago when we were riding in that area of the US
Colorado Adventure Motorcycles it was….

It was a very nice surprise as I approached the back of the plane to be greeted by a very nice young lady who told me I was going the wrong way and should follow her. I thought the Indian air and curry had messed with my brain!

I've been spoilt now

What’s your opinion on the 450’s? They look like a significant upgrade.

They're great bikes and perfect for this trip. If they were more powerful there would be some serious accidents.

The amount of abuse the suspension and wheels take is incredible.

Probably wouldn't be that excited to own one at home as an only bike but I'd be happy to ride one on a long trip.

Just a very good honest workhorse of a bike at a great price.

brilliant service

Thank you. Good to know that the claim all went well. It all helps to burst the “It’s all a rip off, they never pay” myth.

‘Everest’ are a big insurer and getting bigger.
