    I had purchased a candy apple red Yezdi Roadking motorcycle from family friends of friends. They offered to tune up my newly purchased roadster with fresh tires, directional, mirrors, and an oil change. They graciously made an exception to their religious rules, by working on the motorcycle during Ramadan, which is a holy month for Muslim peoples.

      Tom, this adventure was in the late 80’s. Pre cellular phones and gps right? How hard was it to get motorcycle service and repair in the smaller villages? Weren’t the roads difficult to navigate? What compelled you to travel India this way?

    Yes, no phones, I had a great time using maps and plotting my journey. Today, I miss looking at maps to see the complete layout of a country.
    Since I had an Indian made motorcycle the parts were readily available and cheap. Often there was only one main road so it was easy to know if you went off of it. Traveling was slow with poor road conditions. In India, it is not unusual for a whole family to travel on one motorbike, so what better way to get in touch with the culture, and have a great sense of adventure.
