Life In Spiti

I first heard of Himanshu Khagta via the interwebs what we had actually heard was there is someone living in Kaza through the winter. Documenting life during the harsh winter. Incidentally it was the  same winter Ouseph and I rode Triumphs into Kaza looking for snow (post on that ride here) and we ended up staying in the same hotel. It was the only one that was open (Sakya Abode) and we spend an evening in the kitchen (cause its the warmest spot also its the closest to the food) exchanging stories and just talking about our love for the mountains. 

Well Himanshu has finally collated all his images and come out with a book called Life in Spiti and specially for readers of our blog is giving away 10 signed copies at a reduced cost. So all you got to do is go to this Link (LIFE IN SPITI) and use the code helmetstories and the first 10 will get them self a signed copy of Life in Spiti.

Moto Art Show Bangalore

Do you love motorcycles?

Do you live in and around Bangalore?

Well if you do you have lucked out because some super talented Indian moto artists are getting together to put on a show for a whole month at the PeepleTree Art Gallery in Bangalore (31st of March till end April).

Going by the fact that some of our uber talented motorcyclist friends like Joshua John and Motoholic Works will be there we can just imaging how great a show it gonna be. I don't know if we'll make it to the opening but we are going to definitely try and get to Bangalore to get a glimpse of the show. But everyone who is in the area should stop by and take a look, buy some art and support these awesome peeps.

Check out their website for all the details.

Yes Joshua we are going to try!!!

Flat Track - Harley-Davidson

Its the norm these days to send out Save the Dates pre-invites but this one that I received about 20 days ago was the best one I have got for a while. Harsh and I have been talking about Flat track and how awesome it would be to have a few tracks in India where the lot of us can trash around and have a ball. I mean we have a load of friends in the UK (Sideburn and Co-Built) who do just that and have built up a great little community of mad flat tackers. 

We got a taste of Flat Track at IBW where we saw Vijay Rajputana take his custom built Harley around the oval just having a great time. We also got a peek of John Singh Speedway outside the Pink City and Vijay again hammering away on his flat tracker we had a go at the track but on much more modest and calmer machines (Sleet) and I can tell you I had a great time. 

I cant even begin to imagine doing that oval on a custom 750 and trying to go sideways. Going to need a whole set of new gear for this one because like Sideburn says IF YOU DONT LIMP YOU AINT SHIT.
