HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS.
#1. WHAT MOTO GEAR WILL WE NEED.
The same motor gear you like to wear in nice worm wether, you do not need rain gear. A jacked where you can take out the inside and have some air holes. A helmet WITH VISOR is important because the dust in the air and some leather hand gloves if possible.
Your shoes, take just gear hiking boots with you can ware also for normal walking(save space in your luggage. If possible take also sunglasses.
#2. YOU SAID TAKE SLEEPING BAGS BUT WILL SHEETS BE OK
Yes please, take a thin sleeping bag for the nights.It will be about 12 till 15celsius in the night (between 50-60F). I take a small sleeping bad and a cotton bag where I can sleep in. During the day it will be about 25C.
#3. WHAT IS THE MOTO ROUTE, MORE OR LESS, AS SEVERAL
The route we will travel is about Delhi to Agra (touch mahal), Jaipor to Jaisalmer, Mount Abu, Udaipur and back to Delhi.
Its al in Rajastan (desert) and they say its the 1001night province from India.
We will travel as we will, no hurry, we just have to be back on time in Delhi.
For the places to stay we will look on the way and take cheap room from about 5$ per night a double.
I have bought a Loney Planet with we use to go around.
#4. BESIDE MOTO GEAR, WHAT WILL WE NEED? CLOTHES?
Yes normal clothes like jeans and old t shirts, when they are dirty they wash them in every hostel for cheap. On the end I wil leave the old stuf behind so i do not have to take them home. Plece take some straps to fit your bags on the motorbike and if you have a Tankbag to put some stuff in also (if posible one you can take as a bag) Yopu do not need tools and that stuf. Maybe when you have, a map.
The motorcycle is of course a bullet 500, he has no other bikes to rent anymore.
If you want to take something for the kids there, take ballons (they cheap en easy to handle, and they like them).
VERY IMPORTANT IS TO TAKE ABOUT 2 OR 3 LOCKS WITH YOU. Its for on the door of your room and to do on the chain of your bike (there is a lock but all the locks over there are the same and i think also the keys).
#5 SEND AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN REGARDING OUR NEEDS
In our group is a girl who works in a hospital and she will be our doctor during the trip.
But she take some stuff with her. For the rest you can buy averything over there without a discripsion.
Something to keep the bugs away in the night we will buy there.
#6. HOW DO WE GET TO THE HOSTEL FROM THE AIRPORT?
Thats no problem.
Lalli will get us on the airport and will take us to our hotel as a private taxi.
