sounds like a great adventure. make sure u get an up-to-date list of permaculture activitis/organisations in India, which seems to lack a national institution – people are always asking me for contacts there but there aren’t many. Good luck!

What’s good, Ringo?

Great update…and many thanks for the gear suggestions. They will prove very useful for my upcoming project, for sure.

Keep us posted, mate…

I would re-think opting for an Enfield even though they’re fun and you will get plenty of admirers. It’s a macho bike to ride in India, its economically not the best choice (expensive to maintain – read often at the repairers, not very fuel efficient) etc. The gears are on the right side with the gear order upside down. Unless you get a new bike it’s kick start without disk breaks. They do start hard and watch that kick start going just a bit further than your knee cap will tolerate (ouch). Loved the sound of them though… If you can’t resist – get a Bullet 500. One more thing – if you get panniers for luggage make sure there are no sharp or protruding bits – I heard a story of a guy that caught a pedestrians dress with it and ripped it off the man’s body driving past. Believe me, that is not a good thing to happen to you in India.

Good luck

Wow! Ringo. This project sounds amazing. I am interested in knowing more about the group in Coorg and for that matter, any group that you visit.

Do let me know if you will be in Bangalore any time soon as I am based there and would love to participate
