The Highland Himalayas Motorcycle Ride

What would someone who has just been back from a Himalayan motorcycle ride talk about? - Mountains, cold weather, rains, zigzag roads, tiring drives, mountain sickness, tourist spot etc.
Well, when we were back from The Highland Himalayas Motorcycle Ride, we were talking about the black pea grains, white pea grains, enthusiasm, belief in oneself, teamwork and how to make impossible possible.

Lights a bulb in your brain? Well, here you go!

Most people go on with their lives, never taking a pause to think of what all they had planned to do when they were kids or teenagers. Most people go on doing what their daily chores require them to do. Any pauses that come are probably cigarette breaks where colleagues whine about not being able to take a pause.

The above situation changes when your motorcycle leaves the asphalt road and dives into a slippery mud path and does not stop at any of those sharp turns you thought it will not be able to negotiate and it climbs and climbs and climbs and slowly, the feeling of danger gives way to a numbness that makes you think – What if it ends at this moment! The result is a pause and the process of thought. Entire life runs like a film in your mind and you wonder how much more there is to life than you currently are doing.
I will never be able to look at Hindustan Motorcycling as a company that takes me to these tours. If anything, I look at it as if it is my alma mater. Most important thing that these companions in the journey of self-exploration have done is made me think about my life, my personality and why do I behave in a particular way.

In the beginning, continental food at 6000 ft sounds like a bliss and a discussion that analyses your behaviour thread by thread seems a little too much. Post two camping-experiences with Hindustan Motorcycling; I look forward to it every day.

It is just not possible to explain what Hindustan Motorcycling does to your thinking and your way of looking at things. The most important part is not that they do it – the way they do it with all the freedom and leisure is amazing.

However, on coming back to Delhi, one has to be ready to listen to a complaining girlfriend or a boyfriend say, “Next time, you are not going anywhere where your mobile does not work.”

Cheers to HMC Team!
