Updated? Yes!
After 6 weeks we met at airport...

Delhi was not too far...

In Delhi we changed some money

had a walk around this "beautiful" city...

and after siesta...

and of course some nervous hours with (in)famous Indian bureaucracy we got our bikes!

Schenker (shipping company) was great! But we had to use stairs to leave their warehouse

Nice Report.
We don't normally get to see all the work that is required to do such a trip.
This is educational.

Thanks for sharing.
Waiting for more.
Q~

Driving in Delhi is other story. But thank to Fayiaz (Indian buddy who helped us) after 2,5 hrs we left this crazy city.
Temperature was crazy - over 40 C degrees...

Next day was the first in the mountain. The oldest AT refused to climb at level 1500 m. And we thought to make 5000!

Consumption of fuel was crazy... What is going on? Carburettor?

Owner was sceptic. Is this the end?

Pastor and other mechanics from our team spent whole evening to reactivate this bike called "Grandma"...

and next day sun was shining for all bikers. Even for Grandma! (first from the left)

Driving in India can be difficult...
