Attended - PTDC Khajjut All Biker meetup

met many friends and very good Riders there including @d3vil who was the first guy to wellcome us on the event and made us stand all together and took our Arrival picture.
@d3vil it was amazing management that you guys handled thousand of Riders and Rides altogether in a single day..

met BOB riders on the way too and may other groups..

Found @hidalgo there and it was so nice to meet him for the very first time... and had good Gupshup..

met mukram,Akbar,asad and many cool guys jinko sirf internet per dekha tha.. wahan real men mulakat huwi...

It was an amazing event and some of the rarest and sicked Super rides were there..

We left Khajut a little early becuase our target was to atleast reach Balakot and make our first day end there so we can have a Go HEAD start for our 2nd day run .. so we can sooner cross those areas which we already have visited...

Akbar Sahab from MAP were not very happy to learn that ew are leaving that early he said atleast stay for the speeches.. mene Kaha sir apko mil liya kuch dosot mil gaye bas kafi hai humary liye

Some where ahead of Nathya Gali

Rain started to kick in rana saab getting his rain coat out

It got very cooled as soon as clouds showed up and we put our jackets on

These days auto markets are flooded with LED type lamps and they look very good and have very strong light, I purchased a pair of U3 type CREE based two Halogen lamps which did not lasted for the first tour..

The Lens Dropped on the way which was supposed to be sealed beam and the Diode inside got fried... what a waste of money.

Dosra Teeka, while climbing the uphill road My trail Chain started to rattle and "KhaRRRaaaaakkk" chain was totalled and bike was free flow....

Every body stopped and I got my head down to fix the chain... @ammarzahid noticed and focused my attention to rear sprocket and I realized that the after market sprocket I am using in rear was not proper flat... (AND it was a really BAD news because I had to travel for next 9 Days and over 2000 kms with the same sprocket... I was too much under pressure for the whole way till we reached hotel because every few minutes there was a kharak from rear sprocket..)

While fixing the chain...

Thank you MakPak.. I hope like the story, the real adventure started on KKH!

Indeed. I am glued to the thread One clarification; my LIKE in your 'TEEKA' posts does not mean I enjoyed your misery It is in appreciation of your nice narration.

soon the sunlight was gone and we had to travel the Murre abotabad road in Dark... the road converts to pitch black as there is no street lamps or any thing like that on that road.. and one has to relly tpotally on vehicles own lamps..

I had enough light in combination with One LED Lamp and Main Bike Lamp and I was in the End of the Group so that I can keep track that every body is ahead no body is left behind..

But then catastrophe happened My LED Lamp shut down without any apparent reason after few minutes my Bikes main lamp started to fade ... and I was hardly able to see in front of me...

Now I new I will have to stop or else I might fall of the road as the road has no barriers at many spots also the road is a steep down hill...

So I finally stopped and in a minute a toyota hiace came which was lighting up the road well I instantly started to tail gate it..

after few kilometers I spotted @pirates who actually stopped for me as he noticed that I am no more in his rear view mirror ..

or mene sukh ka sans liya and then from there on I chased pirates (nouman) as he had a big a$$ CB250 Night hawk lamp fitted to his piaggio so he was lighting up the road well..

Allah Allah ker k we were hardly able to reach Mansehra and Booked a room to stay at night..

[vickytulla]

hahahaha I can understand, dont worry there are many Teekas, miseries, crashes, lost DSLr are comming ahead in story...:o

All night I was very upset because of the bikes behavior, it acted like it did not wanted to go, and I was bit worried that may be its an indirect sign that I should not go..

I mean kabhi chain utar jaye bar bar, raat hui tu teen teen lamps honay k bawajud bhi sari lights 'Kaput' ...

I decided that in morning I will give a through look to tha chain and also to the electronics If I found out that there is some thing not solvable I will let the team go ahead and I will retreat from here because yaha say wapsi asaan hai.. lekin KKH per kaput honay ka matlab total failure hai..

So in the Morning I gave a detailed check up of Sprcoket and all the riders helped me fix it properly, also it came out to us that the lamps were not working becuase that china made U3 light was short circiuting the whole wiring system as soon as I detached it from wiring the whole wiring started to act normal.

So I was all ready to take up the Day ahead... Shuker Allah ka ride did not complained after words

Every body prepping there rides

Meri MarindaaaaAAA!!!

[vickytulla]

We left mansehra early so that we can reach Naran and have breakfast there..

But we absolutly had no idea that what Allah has planned for us....

Just after getting out of Mansehra and where the mountain Climb starts after which Balakot comes... we were going like a breeze...

It started to slowly "RIM Jhim" a little at various spots.. but at on point the rain escalated and we were moving in pairs I over took Salar Sahab and was in middle of Kashif and salar kashif was ahead and salar on my tail.. but due to rain I even over took him and indicated him to stop ..

we stopped under a tree and started pulling out the rain coats and realize Salar did not stopped neather he crossed us.. then where is he ?

We were just talking about him when a local Car came to us yelling that a rider with you guys has fallen...

HOLLY FC*K!!! I was stunned we jumped on bikes and rushed back... on reaching the spot we saw salar sitting on the road side his Prodor100 was kaput from from Beam and handle the Trunk on rear was detached and the carrie has taken the damaged..

DAMN!!!

By this time I first time realised that its been the first time Salar has ever taken the bike to this level of Rising as he belong to a jeepers Clan and has absolutly NO experience on "How to Ride a bike in Mountains" - AND now I was worried..

Becuaes we were not heading to just ordinary mountains.. but we were going into the the most BadA$$ mountain range of the world which sanes no mercy what so ever....

Before the Start of the trip I advised to waer comeplte safe gaurd kit and Salar was lucky that he was wearing the complete Body Kit and was unharmed (Scraches are no Harm to men) ...

[ManMachineAdventure]

Great start.

Nahi naseer bhai nazar nahi lagi... when you are out in wild.. wild things happen, but if you are prepared enuf that every thing goes fine.

I must qoute here that we all are bunch of ordinary people who just share a passion to ride a bike, we vastly differ in personalities but the one thing in common we have is 'Bardasht' and compromising nature which never leads us to disputes what ever happens we all leave with smiling faces and open hearts...

And I sulute to all the riders jinhoon nay Jugtain liga liga ker Tour ko char chand ligaye rakhay...

Great start.

True "Scratches No Harm to Men" but to bike out for journey its does make one to worry, but having a team like you all lessens the part to worry for the bike too.

So far warm starting page of the thread - looking forward to see the full journey with detailed captions.

All the best Fellows

Having bardasht is one thing, but tolerating a cheapo is another Khair these things are spice of tour So LED cree lamps are no go

After recovering Salar we reached Balakot gathered together and decided not to stop and just refurl if any and reach Naran in time and have a lunch *** breakfast there and move toward Babusar.

Some Pics just before Balakot

On reaching Naran we faced heavy rain fall and we were all soaked wet... so we stopped to our native pit stop the hotel infornt of demanche which offers very nice breakfast.

So snaps from the way.. we were not expecting rain whichle the day was sunny but .. ha ha ha ha ha
