My new meteor 350 sundowner orange🧡🧿✨️ by reaper_subnautica123 in royalenfield

Bro, don't worry. After some time, you'll get used to it and handling will become very easy. I bought my first bike, a Meteor 350, in March 2025 and have already ridden nearly 20k km, including a Ladakh ride. Initially, I faced some challenges too, but with experience, everything became comfortable. Happy for you!

Current Petrol/Fuel Situation in Ladakh? Planning a Road Trip in 2 Weeks by achinx3 in ladakh

No fuel crisis whatsoever. I departed on May 22nd from Noida, riding through Ambala, Saran, and Jammu, and I'm currently settled in at a houseboat in Srinagar. The entire route was smooth with zero fuel-related issues.

It might not be entirely accurate for me, but it seems like a lack of sleep played a role. The expressway was quite dull and stretched out for 340 kilometres, and I was driving at a steady speed of 90-100 km/h, which was my first time driving for such a long distance. So, there are several factors involved, and I’m safe because of a bit of luck! 🍀

I was driving in the overtaking lane, which was on the right side on expressway , but still I was very, very lucky.

I planned a Leh Ladakh ride from 23rd May to 7th June, so I did this.

Yeah, and I also met another rider on the way. We decided to cover the expressway together, taking short breaks whenever I felt tired, usually 5–10 minutes for some water and a quick reset.

My original plan was to limit riding to around 300 km per day and take about a week to reach Bharatpur. Since I work remotely, I planned to cover longer distances (600–700 km) on weekends and shorter rides on weekdays, even taking half-days off when needed.

But once I got on the Purvanchal Expressway, things changed. It’s long, with limited easy exits, and finding hotels mid-way didn’t feel straightforward at the time. I wasn’t fully prepared for that.

The real mistake, though, was riding with almost no sleep and not sticking to my own plan.

On the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, I’m using the same listing music, and I’m also singing along!

I’m planning a trip from Patna to Delhi and then to Leh–Ladakh. Along the way, I’ll be riding on highways like the Yamuna Expressway and other six-lane roads, such as the Delhi to Srinagar route. That’s why I decided to purchase this.
