I thought some of you might be interested in this
article and photos recently published in National
Geographics Adventure magazine Dec/Jan 2005 issue.
The author takes a 350 Enfield single over the highest
public road in the world (+18,000') through a less
than stable area of the Himalaya's and spins quite a
good yarn about the journey. A good read if you can
find the magazine, meanwhile there's a photo gallery
here to give you a better idea of what he saw as well
as links to other background information. Recommended
reading.

Meanwhile, does anyone know whether or not a KLR has
been over this pass? I'm thinking it must have
happened by now. Now there's a thought on this dreary
ass foggy
day...

p.s. I could probably scan the article if you can't
track it down otherwise.

There may still be an organized motorcycle tour available into the Himalayas
on Enfield 350s. It starts in Simla (India), goes into Ladakh, not Kashmir, and
over what it claims to be the highest traveled road in the world, also >18000'.

looking for 2003 seat
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2005 2:18 pm

I might. I have an A17 and an A9 that now is a parts
bike, but might be a candidate for a casual
restoration, and I need a purple seat. I have an A17
seat that I replaced with a corbin, It has about 2K
miles on it. What year is your Barbie? I might need
some other cosmetic parts as well.
