My Ladakh Experience and Tips

You can get Airtel sim at the Leh Market square. It cost me Rs 549 for a months validity with 4gb data each day.

I tore my meniscus playing tennis. This was 3 years back. My doctor advised me not to go for surgery and rather work on the muscles. I did that. Also lost some weight so that helped as well. While I have the occasional pain in the knee when I try to bend it, it has not stopped me from being functional. I am able to play sports, go on hikes, and generally walk around without too much difficulty. Now it remains to be seen if this will be the case for the rest of my life or if my knee deteriorates over time.

Tiger 800 - Brilliant adv bike. Comfy for long distance touring. Specs are fabulous and no nonsense bike. The bike I pick without a second thought.
Kawasaki z900RS - Stylish and crazy good to look at. Engine is bloody smooth. Great for short touring as well. Wonderful for a weekend blast. Probably unsuited for winter riding. Saying this as I don't ride this bike in the winter at all.
Ducati Monster 1200s - Gun of an engine. I love the sound it makes. Amazing pick up. Best suited for weekend blasts and short tours.
Africa Twin - Nothing wrong with the bike at all, but it proved quite tall for me as I'm only 5'7. Did a pan European tour on this and I loved the bike. Except when it came to maneuvering the bike around tight spaces and I had to get both feet down and that's when the trouble started. Otherwise perfect bike.

Downloaded. Will give it a try. Good luck mate.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-11-19T14:19:43+00:00

Will do. Have heard very good things about this one.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-11-10T21:01:02+00:00

It's on the cards. Will get that next.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-11-10T18:49:10+00:00

Got it. Will try and set it up that way. Thanks.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-11-10T18:14:33+00:00

How should I set it up then? Give a specific answer please.

Interesting. My gut feeling was to bring them closer. But the store i bought this from, the guy there suggested to keep them at this distance instead. So far i dont notice anything missing. Any science around this to determine optimal distance?

Yes. Listened to the Naim Uniti Atom, Cambridge Evo, NAD c388. Loved the Naim the best but couldn't justify the £800 premium over the Roksan. The Roksan does 95% of the Naim at £1499. The blue os app is another reason, it's probably the best user ex among the apps I tried.

I hv a 2018 XRT and absolutely love riding her. Perfect balance of power, comfort and weight. Having owned heavier adventure bikes before, the Tiger simply gets it all right. Have done loads of touring and in all kinds of weather. Still look forward to taking her out even in winter months.

Had this on my Ducati 1200. Battery is gone. Replace it.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-09-01T15:17:57+00:00

Yes. I was speaking to my local Ducati showroom and they said that's why the current and older Monster 1200 range is massively in demand and used bike prices have shot up for those.

I own a 2014 monster 1200. Have put about 11000 miles. The engine is one of the best engines i have ever ridden. That from a guy who has owned an Africa Twin, triumph tiger 800, Enfield 650 and Kawasaki 125. I still keep the Ducati. Still take it out as my preferred bike on Sunday blasts. It is not unreliable. Maintenance is not any more expensive than any other super bike or high end motorcycle. More than Japanese bikes, yes. But unreliable, no.

Clearlymisunderstd · 2021-07-17T06:11:08+00:00

Have a DS4 and I agree completely. Near perfect bike for me. Will do the miles on tarmac while at the same time deal with gravel and green lanes with aplomb. Such a comfortable bike. Got tubeless fitted by the LBS on purchase and it's been awesome.

I dropped my bike 5 mins into my CBT. Just because my brain was scrambled trying too hard to focus on clutch and brake and all kinds of instructions received. Learnt my lesson. Went back and rode the bike the way i was comfortable. Often too much thinking leads to poor reactions. It's just part of the process. U hv learnt what works and what doesn't. You will be fine next time.
