So as soon as we got th kahifs and tahs bike done and had a tea we hit the road again and this time we just went non stop to catch the 13 riders clann ahead of us..

and finally we met them just a minutes before the Muzafrabad roads famous bridge which crosses the Jhelum River..

[angel82]

Gupshup at Mian G Hotel around 3 AM

and My Lonely DR250 Fully Loaded

[vickytulla]

Just before Muzafarabad we were cruising fast enough to stay within schdule we saw @imranbhatti's bike limping and finding out his rear tire just got punctured..

few of us decided to stop with him and tried to fill it with the pump we had... but the air stayed in the tire hardly for a kilometer untill it was flat again..

we comunicated the rest group to move and reach muzafrbad and we get this fixed..

we opened the tire replace the ture but while assembling back we punctures the new tube as well becuase of our expert tools and mechnickky heehhehe

so we boarded imran and uzair on tahas trail so they can go back to bridge get the puctre fixed and then come back while we can rest in the mean time.

By that time it was deadly hot and dry and it was showing up specially on omers face.. so I gave him my mattress so he can take a little nap..

in the mean time I got a call from Nadeem sahab whose trail collapsed near murdky that he got it fixed and storming towards islamabad... that man had lot of bikers juice in him..

Omer taking a NAP

angel82 and bhatti sahab leaving with tire

me and taha went for stream of fresh water hunt and ended up finding a sewage and returned back heavily sweated.. lol

[vickytulla]

I missed one thing here..

While we were corssing muridky I noticed that Nadeem with his XL125 went missing from my rear veiw so I notified the clan.... me and @angel82 reverted back and found him just on the start of muridky with his trail whose rear shock got dissembled and his bike was motion less completely and he was completly shcked... it was 1~2AM by that time..

on further investigation it was found that we dont have special tools to aseemble it back and with in time.. so he said he will get it boarded on van and take it back to lahore and in morning if it can be fixed quickly he will chase us and join us again...

I was thinking he might get himself over tired doing this manuaver.. but he proved me wrong.. how you will find out in next posts..

This is how it happened... You can see XL's rear was totally collapsed...

[vickytulla]

Finally we reached Muzafarabdad and met Ahsan Kashmiri who is a class fellow of mine from Punjab University and he was waiting with all his eye.. he served us with the best mutton and beef dishes and plumped us like fat ducks.

Also give us feed back and tips while travelling in neelum valley

We took nap, wash and rest at his home for like few hours untill we said adio-amigos and left for Sharda almost near maghrib.

absolutly this was a deal breaker infact a heart breaker for nadeem but dude had lots of courage to stand up again and again.. even his ride was collapsing..

[vickytulla]

While we were getting imrans's pucture fixed just got a flat tire it was @jigzkorner so they got it fixed there while we were here...

@taha66 seems worried as two heavy duty lads with a flat wheel went on his trail to get pucture fixed ha h ha hah hah a

[vickytulla]

While we exited Muzafrbad, I was getting worried about our left behind rider.. Mr Nadeem whose trail Xl125 got broke just in start of tour at muridke.. as I knew he is chasing us fastly but I wanted to comunicate with him that we are entering neelum valley and there would be no signals.. I tried to call him again and again but he did not recieved the call and I knew why he did not becuase he wsa riding and riding really fast...

We stoped just outside muzafrabad to count all the riders when we recieved his call and he told us he is just a kilometer behind us as we were like.. wow man this guy has some serious biking juice..

so finally when he arrived he clapped and welcomed him and he was so happy to re-unite with the clan..

Mr Nadeem with his XL125#

there was a steep climb near neelum Jhelum Power plant where I waited for couting all the riders.. moosa was the last to arrive with nadeem finally we met other riders ahead and soon signs of tiredness started to show up on riders and angel82 guided us to a beautiful camp site just beside "Uth Mukaam" but problem wsa that half of the riders were ahead of us and there was no fone signal, it was decided that lets camp here and we can catch them up tomorrow early morning.

So we camped.

[angel82]

Refiling at Muzafarabad
The gang was still energetic even after 20 hours of riding.

Camping Site before Ath Maqam. Nearly 20 KM before Keran.
Soft ground and a water fall. A perfect place to Camp.

MashaALLAH keep it up.

The morning was like waking up in heaven it was beautiful, cold, pleasant and fresh.

Though I was greeted with a taser by Akber sahab..

I took a walk around our camps then I went to a water fall which was just beside us.

Then we buckled up and reached ath mukam bazar had a nice break fast who had a sitting facing the neelum river.

we also got our bikes oil changed and gave it a basic go through if any thing is lose or lube the chains..

then we left for keran, india started to show up on the other side of river and we saw their installations on other side as well.. there were bunkers on the road after each mile.

The Security is "weshi" tight and we had to get over bikes and names recorder after every bunch of miles..

Our Camp site..

Re-Fresh-ing Water fall walk..

[angel82]

Some more shots of Camp site and rides.


@vickytulla is thinking about something

The waterfall

[vickytulla]

While me and @taha66 were two who were in the neelum river and having a bath, others stayed away from storming river as it was furious enough and roaring like a bunch of buldozer paving an asphalt road..

I was keeping my self from fast gush of water and staying in the water where pressure was not hard and occsionally I was dipping my self in fast water and the fast water was "glacial cold" and I was enjoying it.. taha was doing the same..

in the mean time hassan decided to eat some dates and fetch them from his bike when he came to the spot where other riders were sitting near he stream we were already discussing that the camp site nearby has drained its sewage into river and we told him not to wash his packet ful of dates from that place and choose the fresh water which was comming from main stream.. (Next post)

Keran Camp Site: When we reached and angel82 inquired we came to know our "rawal dasta" lead by sannan and kashi just left like 30 minutes ago and they even arranged a camp for us list night.. but we were so tired we slept back at ath mukaam

Keran:

ok so as I was saying that while we were all partying in neelum river Hassan chose a spot from where he can lean on fast moving water and refresh the packet of dates he did not noticed green algea build up on stones near water and got slipped I was looking on other side but I was already in water.. when i saw at my back I saw a human body swinging with the flow of water some times his legs comming up some times his head and arms.... It was hassan!

My heart shruinked like I have never experienced that fear before... in a split second I instantly grabbed stones which were firm and fastened with river floor and started to go in fast water and spread my both arms towards him..

Luckily his leg came into my hand I sqeezed my fingers in his legs.. I knew I only have this chance to save him or we might lose a friend here..

as soon as halted his rolling in water he instanly gained his body control and started to plunge out of fast stream towards the bank..

taha came beind me and dragged us both out..

The whole bikers clan was shocked that we just had a near death experience...
@taha66 pulling hassan out of fast stream while I am cornering him with the stone slightly visible on the right..

Saying prayers and finally smiles after realizing the day is saved...

[angel82]

It all happened so quickly but still those 30 second were the hardest and the longest of life.
Allah saved Hassan and eventually all of us. Shukar alhamdulillah
