My very first vlog and this was day 1 of our Spiti Ride 2022, on which there are two Royal Enfield Interceptors and two Hero XPulses, and thanks to my slow riding style, I got separated due to my own mistakes and the entire day went in catching up to my friends, Abhinav, Yogesh and Yudhvir. So what was supposed to be a great start of a trip, riding with friends, ended up being mostly a solo ride for me. Where I got severely fatigued due to riding constantly and in the heat.
I got lost by 1pm and I finally caught up to them by 7pm, by then the GoPro was drained, and it started to rain. So I couldn't make anymore videos.
We finally reached Narkanda by 10:50pm! As opposed to 6pm. Yep thanks to me. It sure was a memorable one for me.
This here is me riding on the Himalayan expressway.
The key take away from this experience are the following:
- Invest in a comm device. Connect it to other riders.
- Mounting a GPS devices is an absolute must!
- The timsun tyres performed extremely well on tarmac.
- Bell is not an ideal helmet for vlogging as too much wind noise comes in and is impossible to remove.
- A good mesh riding jacket is must! I had a riding jacket, but that was better suited for winter riding, so I was getting cooked from the inside!
- Lastly, the touring seat is good!

Don't beat yourself up too much, man. You did alright. Next time, a comm device and GPS on the bars. And we are sorted.
Yesss! Already saved for comm device! Looking forward to the next ride!! 😎
Get a tank bag/cover which has transparent upper layer to put ur phone for gps, I put my iPhone there all the time and that’s safe or else get a cheap android phone and install a mount on the handle
Don’t be too hard on yourself man. As a layman, I did get a sense that you drove very well. Also these small fudge-ups are what make the trip memorable. Hahaha.
Loved the video from the 1st day. Looking forward to seeing all the other videos.
Thank you so much for watching the video Pranav!! Ya ya this was a memorable one indeed!! Loved meeting you all!
nice one!
So I use a Revit fly 3 gloves and I am pretty happy with them for touring and city ride. True though Bell Qualifier is a mess for touring. Let me know if you got a new helmet just for touring purpose. Cheers! Ride safe.
Just saw your profile on insta. thank you for seeing my videos :) I have got a Bell Eliminator helmet, but the downside of that helmet is that you can't close the vents on it. And I got myself a pair of burnish yellow RE gloves. They are quite nice for riding in summer. Quite comfortable for city ride and light touring. Thank you once again.
Why I never do group rides on a long trip. I'm slow and if I like a spot I will stop and spend any amount of time I wish. In a group that doesn't happen. Of course riding with friends has its perks as well but not for me.
Haha cheers to that !! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and watching the video!
I enjoyed that ride through the mountains.
Thank you! I’m glad!
You're perfectly fine buddy you're best in your own way don't be so hard on yourself
Thank you so much for such kind words!
I ride my bike as a car guy 🤣 reluctant to overtake and i love slow ride so i can relate to you, love your videos by the way 👍🏻👍🏻 cheers..
Hahahahaha thank you for sharing that! 🫶🏽🤣 and thank you so much for the support! 🫱🏽🫲🏾
Maybe a base layer instead of cotton t-shirt would help while riding in hot conditions of our country
Yes. Investing in good gear. Now that I am back, I’ll get myself some adequate riding gear that is suited for all seasons. :)

@@SrinivasGanesh Cheers 👍
Love from Kerala❤️
Much appreciated brother!
man i am you of my group , i don't ride as fast as other folks in my group and i am not slow , they are just faster. and same thing happened with me in my 2017 spiti trip , my phone got switched off and i didn't remember anybody elses number , so i rode alone from Keeratpur to Delhi on my way back and trying to find my group.
Did u change the handle bar?
Yes sir. Himalayan handle bar.
Reality check for a lot of armchair enthusiasts 😀 Something similar happened to me when I signed up for bicycle ride to a lake some 25 miles from my University town. Friend and his wife finished their ride, drove back in their car and picked me up. I just couldn't keep up with their pace 😂
Hahah thank you for sharing this experience! :)
I too have a Qualifier, what have you got for touring now?
Eyeing Rurorc 4.0 now. Saving for if.
Thank you for watching the video!
Those handle bar are awesome bro ..... Link please
It's Himalayan handlebar.
Why the bike feels like a boat(handles) on corners, may be just an illusion
Hmm maybe…
Seriously, go easy on yourself. Anyone who forces you to ride in a zone that's not natural to you - seriously assess if you really want to be in a dynamic like that! Riding is for absolute pleasure and be wary of people who try to create a rat-race construct around this also. The so called fast riders have had multiple spills and falls - so if that's what you want, well.... You ride well, you ride good end of story. Its not a contest.
Thank you for this wisdom and for watching this video. :)
I have to say this stress was self inflicted, as I look up to the riders I was riding with, and didn’t wanted to let them down. But the guys were very supportive and helped me a lot.
Not fast......... quickly and safely
There is a fine line between riding fast and riding rash
