Holi!
Heres a bit of what we are all missing out on now there is no video camera. This was filmed in Bangalore. Enjoy!
Bangalore Rooftop Bollywood Pool Party
While on a quest to find a suitable bike for Ben we got invited to this rooftop party.
Beautiful girls, good food, sucky beer and a helipad!
Enjoy!
Ready Set… Shanti!
Planning in India brings bad luck. If you want to enjoy a long trip then just go with the Indian flow. Everything is possible but nothing goes as planned…
Unfortunately Ben and I have much preparation to do for the start of our trip. Finding our bikes, ‘tuning’ them for the long ride and of course we need helmets, gloves and a jacket for protection. That is not exactly going as smooth as we expected.

So far I have my gear and my bike. Ben, well, he has a helmet, a left hand medium and right hand extra large biking glove.
Ben is very happy with his new helmet.
We will be ready tomorrow… so here in India that might be next week.

So as Doug so elegantly expressed our plans have not gone exactly as expected . I think it was naive of us to think we could arrive in a country such as India and expect things to conform to our standards. I have learn t quickly that the saying ‘ There is no such thing as a sure thing’ carries particular weight here, When people say yes here it has many layers of possible meaning, especially if accompanied with the head wobble.
But with all that said, I feel like I’m adjusting my expectations rather than expecting the country to change to suit me. It’s either that or have a very bad trip. So it looks like the Sun is on the horizon and soon our adventure will begin, but I’m not so foolish as to give you an exact date. Learning already.

A taste of things to come
I found this on another guys blog. I could not imagine a better clip to start this blog. Its about two dudes on a Enfield riding through India.
I’ll try to make upload a better version when I found that Charas movie.
Enjoy
