    • Destination: The Himalayas

      HimalayasI’ve always had a passion for big, aggressive motorcycles, but the thought of me piloting anything larger than a scooter triggers panic. Thus, over several years in India, my passion for big bikes had aroused in me envy for those who boundlessly roam the country unfettered by bus and train schedules, free to explore with gleeful abandon. Then one day a big biker named Troy – an expat American who proudly cites the thousands of kilometres he’s logged on his Enfield Machismo (yes, the Machismo!) – invited me to ride shotgun on a journey through Kashmir and Ladakh in India’s high Himalayas. Completing our posse was Gokarn from Turkey, his girlfriend Gili and Irishman Dominic.
