Motorbikes in Nepal

So Jo had been having withdrawl symptoms from motorbikes since i met him again in Delhi. Sweats at night. Bad cough. Pale complexion. Weight loss. He'd not been looking so good. So when we got back from the trek we hired bikes. It was either that or lose Jo i fear.

We hired a 150cc sport road bike (The 'Gladiator') and a 125cc cruiser (The 'Enticer').

We'd met some kiwi girls on the trek who we then ran into in Pokhara. When they heard of the plan to hire bikes they asked us if we'd let them sit on the back and they'd pay half. Yeaaah! Hence we could afford two (o: Although we ended up losing a helmut and that cost us a bit )o;

We cruised around the area seeing some sights and otherwise just cruising, swapping bikes as we went. Cruisers are awesome. Comfort plus. But the sports bikes have speed and that is fun...

I also got to use a clutch for the first time on a bike and that was all good. Can't wait to own one.
