If your heading over there for a ride, the best bit of advice I can give you, is DO NOT EVER wear a one piece rain suit.
Delhi belly kicks in at warp factor 9, and by the time you have unsucessfully attempted to lower the suit, to evactuate your exploding bowels, the locals will be enthrawled with the road side entertainment.DAMHIK

Try contacting Mike Ferris at Ferris Wheels re India. He's a good cooont.

Yes have thought of that but I like the idea of riding my own bike.

Basically I want to take my bike overseas for an adventure, overseas may be India, the southern part of Africa etc. Before I plan too much more I need to find out what it will cost to take my bike with me to those countries.

Sure if the cost is too big I will look at options, I back packed in India in 2008 and it is easy to get around with the trains etc, but I sort of like the idea of taking KT and riding her.
