New Dehli

I love this town. I know it sounds crazy, nobody agrees with me, but for me New Dehli is a concentraded form of India. Rich and poor, modern city life, rural life, the mixtures of all the religions... you can find it all in New Dehli.

Of course the city has huge problems. The traffic is homicidal
(i found a video on you tube) I always felt more safe on a bike and be able to "swim" with the traffic, then to cross a street by feet.


And its one of the polluted cities in the world. Asthma has increased in a incredible way. And if you stay some days, you can feel it. The eyes begin to burn and depp breathe burns in your lunge













After some testrides with Enny I was ready to continue my journey... time to leave the town and head further to Rajasthan

to be continued.....

oh enny....

It took a while to find the right partner for my journey. I spent many days in Carolbak, an district in New Dehli, known for many car and motorbike shops. One street is spezialized to offer, renovated vintage bikes. (old Vespas, old heavy british bikes and of course: Royal Enfields) She was beautiful. Totally black, real old tank and mudguards with sexy numberblades on it. 35 years old, completly restored:
