Just think how fast you'll be when you get back to high quality machines. Moving those heavy bikes around has got to be building you up a bit.
I think the bike weighs 35 lbs, light twitchy steering and all that. I don't ride much in the village, maybe a few miles a day. Still it is fun to be out riding, even in monsoon season.
I thought traffic would be too terrifying to ride my bike in Bangalore... hmmm...
I dont actually ride into the city, I'm too scared to try that yet. Just learning how to ride in the village atmosphere was nerve racking the first few times. It would be possible to ride to Goa, I wouldn't recommend it but people have biked the country. From what I have read about it most people realize that that being killed is a very real possibility. The roads are horrible, the 'highways' can be one wie lane with no lights and shared by cars, bikes, buses cows, etc., dangerous riding in the day, god frobid riding at night.
