Great trip brother. How did you manage to update the LOG? do you keep on updating as you reach destination?

pwuser148387364232 (Pakwheels User) 2017-10-15 14:30:03 +0500 #69

I keep taking pictures of the display meter at every stop and them compile the log at the end of the day's ride.

Babusar Pass is a great motorcycling road.

Naran

Had a 70 minutes breakfast break & walked around the river to stretch my legs! Refreshing!

This map is very useful. I suggest downloading it in your phone .... easier to plan the next adventures that way !!

Met these bikers... who had travelled all the way from London, through Europe, Turkey & Iran and were planning to cross into China from Khunjerab before heading into India & beyond.

They had a Yamaha Super Tenere, a BMW GS1200, Triumph Tiger and interestingly, a Triumph Truxton.

For the return journey, I avoided the Abbottabad route & choose Balakot - Gari Habibullah, Lohaar Galli- Muzaffarabad - Murree route.

Is this what we call coming back to civilization?

Seemed like returning to madness!

pwuser148387364232 (Pakwheels User) 2017-10-18 15:14:52 +0500 #77

Damaged the rear indicators slightly. They got scratched up. Riding on bumps/ patches of bad roads they came out of their clips and were hanging outside of the housing.

pwuser148387364232 (Pakwheels User) 2017-10-18 15:17:17 +0500 #79

Got it washed the next day!

Hope it helps others in planning their adventure!
