RIDING Out With SUZIE Q
PART I
The Genesis
Before arriving at Redmond, WA, USA, I was in touch with Mr. Ron Mathewson from New Jersey. Two years back we had met on flickr.com via a riding group. Over time we became great net friends.
Ron offered to fly out from New Jersey to Seattle and ride with me with his wife Jennifer. June 01, 2008 was decided as the date for us to ride together.
I therefore became imperative for me to become familiar with the Harley Davidson bike before they arrived.

Lean Mix & Higher Altitude riding!!
I had been to such Himalayan terrains several times and as per experts who had covered these terrains before had advised on their blogs and forums to use only rich mix as the bike would require loads of power. It really didn’t make sense to me but I always had rich mix on carburetor. This time around I adjusted the carburetor without any hesitation. My experiment was to see how it really works, my Pulsar 180 is the first model that came out in the market and I always treated her with loads of respect.
The Long Ride & Disaster!
Longest most of the Tourers would have attempted would be around 600 kilometers or may be 800 kilometers. But Do 400 + kilometers in twisty hilly terrain and 500 + kilometers on plains in a single day. I guess not many would have even thought of it.
