Ruthless off-roading! Most beautiful ride in Ladakh, Suru valley! India Motorcycle travel vlog EP46

[@frenchyvlogs]

I think my most tiring ride so far in India, but what a ride! Loved it, although my back & ass still remember it 😂 PS; I received already over12K rupees from my last video (crashed drone...) Guys, honestly, don't know how to thank you all, your support means a lot to me... HOWEVER, as I mentioned in a comment... "Although traveling on a budget (like anyone else btw) I also have a job like any of you guys, so I actually prefer people not giving for these kind of things. It was my mistake (although an accident of course) and you guys should not be paying for that, I think. I will do like anybody else, that is keep on working and also on growing the KZbin channel (which is now monetize btw and starts bringing me a second income) so all good 😎🤜🤛 I activated the super some while ago but this is more for viewers who enjoy watching the vids and want to support the channel, as yes, we all need to make a living from our work. Eventually, the goal for me is to one day be able to work "full time" on my vids, but in the meantime I have to buckle up, be patient and if I improve my editing skills that day will come. Much love to all of you guys, this channel would be nothing without you 💙"

Great to see.... I went up the Zanskar valley in 1989 as a side trip on my way from Kashmir to Leh. Brings back good memories. Padum is such a big town now! but the mountains and river looks the same. Think the road better nowdays 😂 Still looks a hard life for the people who live there but still people from Kashmir come in over the summer time. Thanks Bro for posting 🙂

Happy it brought back some good memories Sam! I was going to ask you about the road back then haha, I was actually told that not long ago, people would ride horses in the area as it was the easiest way to get around 😅🐎 Thanks for watching man!

Hey bud I am from India currently a resident of Canada 🇨🇦 I know you love driving motorbike specially when you are couple together a small suggestion you should have to keep wireless phone or a multi mic and speakers which can get linked with both first it gonna be more safe in case any emergency also you can have more fun when actually both can speak! I guess that’s it also you are a great human being as well and as I born and brought up in India 🇮🇳 we guys are so humble and helpful! Respect ✊🏽 for my country and my people also Happy to see that you love India so far and I will assure you will love more as you keep visiting different provinces bdw I am from Haryana a small farming base province between Delhi and Punjab if you get a chance to visit please visit I can connect you with my family God bless you stay happy and blessed✌🏽

[@andersenchiangmai]

Hi Frenchy.Enjoyed watching your epic videos. I dont know if you delated the tire pressure when riding on the unpaved gravel roads? I have been riding unpaved roads extensively in the Himalayas and I suggest that you try to lower the tire pressure to about 18-22 psi. The handling will be a lot easier and it will be easier on your behind/back as it aids the suspension. It also gives more grip when riding on steep sections as there is a bigger contact area with the surface when the tire flattens a bit. As I assume you do use inner tube on the scrambler you have no risk of ripping the inner tube which can happen when riding with low tire pressure as the tire can turn/move in the rim when braking and rip the inner tube that can not move because the valve stem is fixed. Can bring a rechargeble electric pump to check the air pressure when deflating and increase the tire pressure again when hitting tarmac.The places you rode in north of Pakistan I was riding a rented Suzuki 150 cc a few months ago......keep up the amazing documentaries. I will be going to Manali the end of August and learned a lot from your videos....

[@frenchyvlogs]

Yeah Per, 100% right on deflating the tires a bit. I did better, Before going off road, I didn't check the pressure for a while haha I knew they were flatter than they should, now I kinda feel these things... When I went back on the asphalt, I checked the pressure and my back tyre was 23PSI instead of 36 😅🤣 Happy to hear that you learnt from the vids buddy 🤜🤛

[@Dan-xx5jq]

You have so many people that are like your guardian angels looking out for you and Saliha.

[@spade5752]

27:16 - that’s the exact feeling when u see black top road after 3-4 days of back breaking off road. Water crossings become routine and constant focus on sand, gravel, stones exhausts mentally. Saliha’s bike has a 21” wheel which makes it easier to cut thru this terrain. Amazing route in this video, waiting for you to cross into Kashmir soon. Cheers!

Awesome frenchie ! Your vlogs are so refreshing ! Kargil is sort of a daunting place for me as one of My close relatives died there during the war in 1999

[@Dan-xx5jq]

Sorry to hear that. Was that the Kargil war with Pakistan? It is a solemn place. It is also a beautiful place with mountains and valleys and streams and green but it is so sad that India lost so many of its people with war with Pakistan. Sorry I don't know much about it. It is also so recent that a lot Indians are aware and saddened by it. And it is just sad, that there was fighting going on in a beautiful and pristine place.

You and Saliha are crazy. What a difficult journey you go on! Sometimes your travel seems to be torture. Everybody cannot do what you do. So your videos attract our attention. You have a little money so you prefer staying in cheap places. You cannot have enough rest. Your trip may be unbearable especially when you feel unwell. But these difficulties will make you stronger. Nevertheles, nobody should go on these kinds of adventurous activities for so long because it is unhealthy and unsafe. One should not waste his energy s/he will need in older ages. Your younger ages can cheat you as if you are always young and strong. Take care of yourselves. Meanwhile I get to know due to Saliha. I ve joined your channel due to Saliha. Take care of her!

[@tubro541]

It is very nice of you to show us the back roads which most people avoid. (Most travel vloggers just stay on the main road Leh to Kargil) It would be very helpful if you showed us on the map where exactly you're going, in case any of us want to go there. One reason why most of the mountain roads are so bad or so narrow, is that Indian environmental regulations prevent these mountain roads from being wider than 16 ft, I am told. The Indian military and the border roads organization, would like to rebuild most of these roads to a much higher standard, but they are being prevented by environmental regulations. In India environmental laws are very important and they usually got first even if human safety is compromised.
