Travelling on a motorcycle around the country

Imagine a life not worrying about time, no boss to answer to, no schedules to meet, no phones to answer, no targets to meet, no EMIs or credit card bills to worry about.
You can do all what you want...visit your friends whose marriages u missed, visit your cousins, catch up on movies, catch up on reading, most importantly- Wake up late in the morning and sleep until ur content...

Isnt that we call Utopia??

Finally the decision has been made...

I QUIT!

If you had noticed, I started this blog named 'Motorcycle Diaries' 3 years ago, hoping that one day I could emulate 'Che's journey (ofcourse not the political side). The Time is NOW...

Come this December you'd find me doing all the above...;-)
Ive planned to hop on my Royal Enfield travelling through the vast stretches of the countryfrom South to West to North and East on an unplanned trip, with only the direction in sight.

With no paticular agenda, ive decided to just keep riding and stop at friends & to-be friends places  wherever possible..not sure if it would be possible to pitch tents in remote villages/forests (not keen on getting harrased by the cops).

The whole idea sounds exciting and honestly i really dunno what to expect.
If you are planning to go on a ride during the same time, Id love youto join me in any of the legs of the tour.
Pls drop in your contacts, ill get in touch asap.

Others are most welcome to chip in with your ideas/advice/experience/thoughts on the unplanned journey!

Cheers

camaan catch the enjaaiment............

Wat a long wait..finally got to watch "The Motocycle Diaries".
Just loved it. For those who havent watched it yet, here's a gist of the storyline.
A biochemist and a medical student from Argentina set off to a road trip on a Classic Norton (leaky though ;-))motorcycle around South America. The student here is none other than the greatest revolutionery of the contemporary era- Ernesto 'Che' Guevera..

The movie portrays the metamorphosis of 'Che' from a calm next door guy to a thinking revolutionary. they travel from Argentina to Chile to Columbia bumping into the sad state of the natives, which affects 'Che' in a strong manner. the last scene were he swims across the river on his bday gives u goosebumps right through the episode...

One might be tempted to think that its a strong political movie..surprisingly 'NO. there are numerous scenes filled with humour were the protagonists share a wonderful camaraderie.
the scenes are naked with mother nature at its best...lush green mountains to dense valleys to placid lakes to the wild river- enchanting beauty
how can i forget the beautiful ladies!!
throughout the movie i was reminded of the wonderful memories of my road trips..the only diff here- my royal enfield (better condition for sure ;-)) was replaced by the Norton..

A must watch for bike lovers, nature lovers and the rebels. a strict No if u are into only sci-fi movies.

the journey will continue................
