    As an Indian and a fellow biker. I want to tell you that all the instances where you went through deep water on the Delhi roads was an extremely risky thing to do. I felt anxious while watching you go through the water. It is risky because I know what kind of crap is usually lying on the road.
    There are really large stones/bricks placed on the roads. Usually used by people to mark a disabled vehicle. They then forget to remove them.
    Sometimes the water drains don't have covers and will be hidden underneath the water. So when you cross it, your front wheel will fall into the drain and cause an accident or disable your bike.
    Hope you enjoyed Indian traffic.
    Looking forward for more episodes.

    Ohhh, so nostalgic! I had solo in Himalayas last year september-october. Just few days ago finished editing 5th episode - Zanskar valley etc. Insta360 camera is like curse - it is so time consuming to edit that i am not very happy that i bought it. I see that you plan Killar-Kishtwar. There is Saach pass near Killar, i hope you went there. Will see in next episode. I entered Himalayas thru Saach pass. Before my trip i red in one blog where guy wrote - do not start with Saach Pass > Killar > Kishtwar because after that everything will be pale and boring. You know - he was 100% right. Only after few weeks when i entered Zanskar valley - i saw something equally impressive and mind blowing.

    Melbourne 411 rider here. Great to see you enjoying the 450. It seems to be living up to the hype from what I've read. Love your loose plan. You're making me so restless! 13 years since my 15 month ride through the Americas. India looks fun. Great to see your channel growing. Stay safe and enjoy the adventure :)

    • @freewayproject
      @freewayproject  14 дней назад

      Yes the 450 definitely has a lot of improvement, the biggest being the suspension for off road, the rebound is so so much better.
      15 months thought south America would have been epic, a real adventure. I'd like to explore Patagonia on a bike as soon as possible.

      In a way it's a bit of a disappointment that the roads have improved so much. When I was there, chatting with local riders they were telling me I was lucky to be there when I was, as the adventurous feel was slowly disappearing, but then who are we to deny progress?
