Yeah, security in airports is a pain even for us Indians but we've had plane hijackings and terrorists attacks in the past. I just keep just that in mind, keep my head down and accept the pain.
Thanks for you for coming to India, Aaron. Hope you come back in future and have another amazing experience.
Yeah, I really do understand as well. Everyone has to sacrifice 🙏🏼
So glad I went, I will definitely be back!
Absolutely love the way RE is showing the 452 through the community!
That's true! It's unusual to have the community officially showcase the bike before the actual launch.
Thanks for the shoutout!
Just want to add comm gear -The group favorite was CARDO system. My first time riding on a big group with comms and it made the experience a lot memorable. I was able to listen to tunes while enjoying the scenery and also added that level of safety by warning others about the dangers ahead. In regards to drones; I think of them as my wide and telephone lens so this actually saves space in the bag but it takes forever to setup.
Yess amen to that!! Thanks for the footage, the input, and most of all, the good times up there hehehe
Man that security system was such a pain in ass for me too for about 4 years when i was studying there like every electrical and mechanical things have to be scanned but yea its just necessary coz of past incident and i hope u had a wonderful time in India wishing u the best for future and keep doing ur best 👍
I hear you! I do just have to give them credit, even though it's inherently inefficient, they're very professional about it. Thank you! I will definitely be back :)
Diarrhoea is also a symptom of the early stages of AMS. So, there is a good chance of it even if the food doesn't upset your stomach.
Ohh I forgot about that! thanks for chiming in.
Wow Thank-you Aaron for such detailed and helpful explanation. God bless you
