Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway...When we packed up and moved from the US to India the mister sold his Harley knowing when he reached India he wanted to buy a Royal Enfield, the local motorcycle made here in India.  Once we arrived in Delhi he heard of many other expats doing much of the same thing but buying old restored bikes so when their time in Delhi is complete they can ship an antique (25 years or older) with their belongs back to the US.  This made for quite the dilemma.  Which ONE?  Old antique to send back or new and now.  For now he settled on a new Royal Enfield Bullet to ride while he decides which OTHER ONE?  Decisions, decisions.
The ONE he purchased recently registered enough kilometers to be considered "broke in".  Shortly there after he and a fellow RE owner had time off and could go for a long ride.  They plotted a highway route to the Ganges River and headed off for their first road trip by motorcycle here in India.
Setting off they road through small villages along the way that stared at them as though they landed from another planet.  They cooled their heads with water from wells along the road side.  They slept in a small hotel with paper thin walls.  And they arrived at the Ganges River to enjoy their achievement of the goal.  Neither one actually swam in the river but they enjoyed being there just the same.
