^^ pro bike rider? That's a boyhood dream. Tell us more..

Hint: The world's biggest bike riding organisation.

The only issue with it, is both India and China don't allow people to transport vehicles... so one needs to go through Nepal>Tibet with a company and return the bikes.
So in reality it's an organized tour with Royal Enfields.

Fly Aus > Delhi > (Fly or Ride) Kathmandu > Everest base camp > Lhasa

First up, I badly wanted a GPZ900 in the late 80's. A very nice piece of machinery in the day



Like you, I could write a book on defensive riding. I put it down to 1/3rd reading the surroundings, a 1/3rd rider training, a 1/3 personal aptitude, and the remainder ****teenth % having no control over. Humans in vehicles - completely predictable in my opinion. I feel safer riding a bike in town than a car. Roos, deers & spooked horses (all of these I have missed, or hit - and kept it upright) and are far less predictable... but this risk is exactly the same as a car. I heard a story from NSW about a roo going though a driver's windscreen and then disembowelling him
