Septuagenarian Harsimran Kohli, a diehard Royal Enfield fan who flagged off the Odyssey, was a tad envious of the riders.
"I want to go there again. I was 50 when I rode up to Khardung La. I still ride an Enfield which is now 33 years old. My first bike-ride was the spirit behind this journey," said Kohli, who was in the pilot batch of the Odyessy in 1997.
"This journey tests the endurance of man and machine. The Himalayan Odyssey is the ultimate motorcycling adventure that unites the rider with the bike and the terrain to create an experience of a lifetime," Shaji Koshy, senior vice president of Royal Enfield, told IANS.
