    MoreBikes chatted to IT/Tech worker Paula Phipps, 54 from Llanelli. What bikes do you ride? 2000 FZRS600 and 2006 ZX10R currently! What got you in to motorcycling? It was a mixture of people really. I’ve been riding since I was 16 and it was my father’s encouragement together with my friends that got me in…

    The long way home At the beginning of the trip it felt like seven days on a small bike in a hectic riding environment would be a long slog. But when the last day of our travels dawned it felt like the expedition had gone far too quickly, and I could have happily gone on…

    Tibetan flavour The night in the tent had been surprisingly comfortable. And waking up to the sound of the river was lovely. That noise was soon drowned by the Bollywood soundtracks blasting out of the kitchen, which was next to my tent. Still, authentic sounds I guess. The riding today was not much different to…

    Finding the tourist trail So far, every day of riding has been different. The first day was a transition from the sprawling masses of Chandigarh to quiet back roads. It was also an introduction to lazy cows in the middle of the road, homicidal lorry drivers attacking from every angle, and the ever-present dust. The…

    Clear water and mucky kit Day three of riding in Himachel Pradesh was the best so far. We covered a similar distance to previous days, around 125km, but by the end of the ride I felt far less knackered than on previous days.
