I have returned from my 2 week trip to Kathmandu, Napal. Riding a motorcycle there is really a challenge. My Royal Enfield 350 Bullet was one of the larger motorcycles there. With a whopping 18 BHP I was the king of the road!

I have tried to keep up with my PM's and emails but I did not have reliable internet service so I have not replied to everyone. I am in the process of catching up now. If you need something in a hurry please email me at fyredad@hotmail.com.

See you at the Owener's Event/Lamonster BBQ! :thumbup:

I was just thinking that you had been awfully quiet since your return. Welcome back.

Thanks for the well wishes from everyone. Jetlag is a killer! I'm in Zombie mode right now trying to catch up.

My son was taking care of the business while I was gone but there are things that he didn't get to and there are several things still hanging.

Glad your trip went OK. How was it.......................been quite a bit of civil and social unrest there in recent years. I've got several standing invites to visit there, as I supervised/managed a Nepali PSD Team on a project in Afghanistan a few years ago......................beautiful country, but the ongoing Maoist discord/insurgency seemed to make a visit not worth the effort.

Things have been relatively quiet there for the last year or so. Still some issues, of course, but where can you go these days where there isn't?


Glad you're back hope you will fill us in further on the trip. PM and email sent. Need some stuff.

There is quite a bit of backlog. My son David did a good job while I was gone but there is a lot to it. I'm paddling as fast as I can!

Honestly, it was more of a working trip helping a missionary/friend that lives in Kathmandu so I didn't get too many pictures. But this is what my ride looked like. A complete piece of junk here in the US, it rules the road in Nepal! A modern day 'Blast from the Past!'. It reminded my of my 441 BSA. Carb is better than my BeeZer though.

Didn't get any live footage but this is what it's like. ..It really gives you a good feel for how it is driving in Kathmandu except this guy doesn't get nearly as much traffic as we encountered. The traffic + driving on the left side is a real challenge!

Welcome back!

When will the new ST sway bar be ready? :)

I will be working on the 2013 ST/RS/RSS sway bars soon. I want to get the 2013 RT sway bar project done before the Owner's Event. I hope to have the other 2013 bars done by the end of the month. I will be looking for test pilots for this project.


Nice... I got a trip to Asia (Angeles City, Philippines)coming up to spend time with my baby, (hopefully next time she will come back with me, she's dying to do some ryding,)I'm gonna take some pics of the taxi trikes and jeepneys, too bad they don't sell spyders there, that place us made for bikes!

You definitely take your life in your hands riding in these 3rd world countries.... But then no one lives forever and the experience (if you should live through it) is priceless! :thumbup:
