Motorbike trip Adventure around Himalaya and golden temple

August 16, 2017

So this started from the 9th Aug when i planned to go on a little motorbike trip till 17th Aug before the season time for work starts and it was very important to take a little break from work and everything.

This trip was for me and Anita. We were thinking about it for a while and then finally the day came :p haha 😂Glad it came. We started the trip from the Golden Temple in Amritsar , India. It's a very special Sikh temple and we did around 450kms this day, starting at around 7am and arriving in good time to be in Temple for sunset :-) it was very nice 👍

Here are some pictures :-

Next day was going to be another long ride for us, as we planed to visit Patnitop. It's a very famous hill station in JK ( Jammu and Kashmir state in India )

Adventure started at around 8am and two hours later motorbike stopped completely. Usually I know a bit about motorbikes so I can fix myself wheather is with electrical thing or engine or anything but this was quite special. There was a bunch of wires together and it got sparked coz of one naked wire touching other :p ohh man not the best beginning and it was only second day of our relaxing holiday haha

I tried to see if I could do someing with fuse plugs but the spark was so big that the fuse plugs melted inside haha and was hard to remove anything. So I called the nearest service station of my motorbike and they were around 18kms, internet helps ;-) really but they don't send their mechanic very far , so he suggested me to tow my motorbike on a truck or something which sounded crazy as it would have taken long time but what i did is funny but works,

I stopped a motorbike , there were 3 guys on that motorbike and the motorbike was really old but as that was the only motorbike stopped for help so I didn't wanted those guys to leave. So I suggested to maybe hold the hands and their motorbike could pull our motorbike ( 200kg on top we were on top haha ) believe me it worked and they took us 18kms with their motorbike. Oh that was such a great help ;-)

Then in the service centre they didn't have the set of wires my motorbike needed as my motorbike is special case haha, so they just tried to fix the wires by rolling tape around the wires so they don't touch eachother. It was fixed and I managed to go to the other service centre where they put the new set of wires ;-) as new is new and as I go around crazy areas I need everything nicely done ;-)

We did a very long drive and thought we will manage to get to Patnitop but guess what happened right before 10kms from patnitop ? Motorbike tyre got a nail and it was flat , you have to be very very lucky to go through the only nail in Street :p and so am I that lucky lately really haha but the good thing was that it was midnight and I noticed flat tyre right in front of a little hotel, where everything was very quite.

I tried to blow horn so they wake up but it took a while nobody woke up.... real Adventure. Didn't know what to do when I saw a guy in the building nearby so I walked and called him , and asked if he knew these guys and if he could call them. He knew where they slept, so they finally woke up, and gave us a room. We didn't have a choice and this room was really terribly terrible but we had no choice :p I am adventurous but not that much :p everything was dirty and he overcharged on top as it was midnight with flat tyre :p ohh well it was only a night :p

We slept with cloths on as I didn't wanted anything to touch us from the room haha it could have been a nice room as we were just imagining how nice we could have made it if we owned it ;-)

Here are some pictures

Really special. Next day morning we walked a bit to see if the flat tyre guy came , but he didn't came till late. So I just planed to take my motorbike a few kms back to get it fixed near the petrol station where were two flat tyre repairing guys. As I have a disc breaks on back wheel so it's quite adventurous for the flat tyre guys to figure out how to open the wheel and close it after. So I always help they with opening and putting it. I helped him open the wheel and as tube was gone, so I got new tube which didn't look promising but it worked till now and hope till tomorrow when we reach home.

They fixed it and we were on the road again. What else could be more adventurous then having no back wheel breaks ?? Haha 😂 this was just like we were the only luckiest people in the world :p who have came out on a trip at the right time and having such a relaxing trip haha

We were suppose to do the most dangerous road in India but without back break it was not so much possible and as I needed a service centre which was only around 100kms back so I thought to leave it for this time. We got the breaks fixed and made our way to dalhousi /chamba which was such a beautiful decision. We stopped in Pathankot for a night and then stopped in chamba next night ( it's a religious town from 7th century with some very very old temples )
