"You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You�re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a cycle the frame is gone. You are completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming." - Robert M Pirsig (Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) Pirsig continues ..... "We want to make good time, but for us now this is measured with emphasis on 'good' rather than 'time' and when you make that shift in emphasis the whole approach changes. Twisting hilly roads are long in terms of seconds but are much more enjoyable on a cycle where you bank into turns and don't get swung from side to side in any compartment." ________________________________________________________________________________ This blog is about my travelogs - specially, the biking trips. I am an avid biker - a Royal Enfield enthusiast. My new RE - Classic 350; it is an absolute marvel, and as a single-seater bull, it is the driver�s delight � Selfism! I have been riding all around 2012, and how! You all have travelled to Ladakh with me on the �Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey�. I ventured on to many more rides this year � Pushkar, Badrinath, Munsiyari, other than riding almost religiously every weekend. Courtesy this, with Motorcycle Diaries have clocked over 11000kms in 2012 alone! Motorcycle Diaries have many more pages to come; that is something I am sure of�
