Your videos keep getting better and useful for me. My life is split between campervan and Vespa adventures in Europe from my summer base in central Portugal...and my winters in south-east Asia from my base in NE Thailand, where I have an Enfield Meteor 350 and access to a few other bikes..and a pickup truck to cut the long highway dangers. I am 71 and semi-retired and looking for adventure all the time, centered around my age and health related ability and always take the missus. To other older people out there who are bored being a couch potato, get a bike and ride, listen to Pav and do what you can, start with short easy trips, ride at an easy pace and one thing Pav doesn't tell you, ride with your lady... 3 reasons:- 1. Not only are you physically close, but emotionally close too. 2. I claim its safer too, as 2 pairs of eyes and ears are far better than one. 3. And because you hold a loved one's life in your hands you will ride more sensibly, you will have more time, to stop, look around, explore and chat. Maybe you should look at us older riders and those with willing spouses, offer some advise? Thanks for your good work.

When traveling on my old Hodaka 125 I would always carry patches and a simple push bike pump. The tyres were always easy to change on it anyway, but I only ever had one flat tyre while traveling, it was only leaking so I kept topping it up with the push bike pump until I got to a town with a tyre service about 20ks down the road where I bought a new tube and replaced it and inflated it with their compressed air. It's leak was caused by the rim lock chaffing the tube so latter after noticing while replacing tyres that it was still chaffing the tube and after reversing the tube and patching the chaffed part a few times while fitting new tyres I eliminated the rim lock and replaced it with a chrome dome nut and a bolt with the head ground down to cap the hole for the rim lock.

Considering the whole situation and considering your options, you took the right decision to ride down on the flat tyre by using the cylinders available with you. A tyre inflator would have helped you to travel more km by just filling air periodically. Every decision taken is right when the end result is right. So glad at the end that you are safe & ready to move further to complete the trip.

Great philosophical video Mr P ! Thanks. It does indeed apply to everything else in life too. Ha ! I hadn't seen the puncture video you refer to before I made my comment on the 'accident' video so, coincidence ? But you're absolutely right about the decision making process, the involvement of the risk assessment within this process and the bigger picture. To bore you with another, relevant recollection of my aviating days, I was once flying an unpressurised aircraft on a 5 hour flight and due to turbulent conditions over the hot ground below, decided to climb to altitude for a more comfortable ride (it would also save fuel!). After a couple of hours, I realised my fingers were a bit numb. Thinking it was the cold, I removed a glove to manipulate them and I could see they were also showing early signs of cyanosis (oxygen deprivation, appearing as a bluish tinge to the fingernails and skin), I also realised, when i spoke to the other pilot, that my face must have also been affected because my lips felt a bit numb as well ! Whoops.........I hadn't realised that I might be so affected at an altitude at only 12,000 to 13,000 feet when the other pilot was fine (later events in life indicated a possible reason for succumbing early). The decision to descend immediately was the obvious one and this is something high altitude climbers plan for too. Bear in mind that at 18,000 feet or so, there is roughly half the typical atmospheric pressure that you would experience at sea level. The pre-flight planning ought to have included this possiblity and my decision to climb narrowed the parameters of the rest of the flight and the decision making process, so I agree with you that to potentially sacrifice a tyre to improve the success of other, more pressing priorities was the only way to go. So you're right, the real problem to solve is this : Survive by the road at lower elevations with a shredded tyre or die overnight higher up the valley in sub-zero temperatures with a good inner tube fitted but unable to refit the tyre ?............................or use a softer tyre, knowing you can get it back on? I used this mentality when choosing mountainbike tyres; no need to take tyre levers and you could stuff them with grass to at least get you down the mountain ! Makes me wonder how easy/difficult it might be to change the standard tyres on my Himalayan by hand in the UK (MT60s)

I would still change the tube in your situation. Looking at the whole picture, if you're using the original CEAT tires on a Himalayan, they are not nearly as stiff as a Metzeler. Very dangerous to ride on gravel on a flat tire "as fast as you can". If you had destroyed the tire, you would be left with just the rim and no way to continue anywhere or posibly even crash. I know the altitude doesn't help but the Himalayan is "easy" to handle and change/repair the tire. Yes, I have been at that altitude with lots of equipment. I'm not saying that you did wrong or that I am right. I just think changing the the tube was a safer option. Thanks for the videos and all your advice.

" what would you do if after 1km you tire shreds to pieces?" I knew what can I expect from my rear, I had similar situation many years ago with my dirt bike. I need to ride about 40km with flat tire. I know that the rear is wider, harder and if you ride it carefully you can have more than 100km before it's fall apart. With the front is different. With flat front you cannot make even 100m. As I said in one of my videos - I know my limits! You did not answer on my question!

@@motorcycleadventures I'll answer in the same way you do: No power, lack of oxygen? I know my limits. I've been at roughly 4800 meters with 40kg on my back trekking for 5+ hours. I think I can tackle a tire change at altitute. Punch spare tube or injure myself? Could happen but it could happen anywhere any time. I know my limits and know how to change a tube. How could you possibly be sure the tire would hold the distance? You may know your limits but rely on some luck too. A sharp rock can destroy it with no air pressure. There could be thousands of outcomes for every scenario. I don't think there is ONE correct answer, like you seem to think yours should be. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just expaining why I would have chosen a different path that is not necessarily wrong. I understand why you took that desition and it is valid but it's not the only correct course of action.

I never said that it is the only one. It was the one I token at the moment and worked well for me. The idea of the video is to show you what is mean to see the full picture. To play macho in this situation will never helps. As Mike Tyson said: 'Everybody has a plan until he receive a punch in the face' You think that you can handle it and you did it are two different things. The point that you did it once is not a guarantee that you will be able to do it again. Did you consider the temperature around zero and only 3 Co containers. If you have had flat tire you should know that you might need to repeat the procedure number of time before you really succeed. How I am going to do it if I don't have air compressor or pump with me? Blow in the wents? By the way on that altitude the pumps are useless. Everything could wrong and there will be no turning bag. This is Ladakh, not walk in the park. As I said already I was pretty sure that the rear will hold at least 40-50km. After that I can walk, the point was to go at least 1000m below, where I will have a better chances to spend the night. Again you are not answering the question. You just giving me the best scenarios when everything is going well. It was simple what you would do if the plan you had didn't work?

Hi Pavlin, in most of the topics i agree with you. But to the topic with the flat tire, i have still an other opinion. Don´t be angry on me my friend, but you didn´t made the right decision, you only had extremely much LUCK. What had you done, if the tire further on getting totally demaged? Riding on the rim? Had you knowledge at this moment , how are the road conditions the next 70 km? What had you done, if the dealer had sold his last tire 10 minutes before you arrive there? Especially, because you had the tools and a patch or a spare tube with you? Would you then still say, it was the right decision? Was you ever the master of the situation? Really? As you know by yourself, you often had good luck, but you cannot eternal count on it ... and to sell it then as right decision. To see the whole picture in this special moment, does it really help? But i accept your decision and i am glad with you, that the story ended well. Ride safe, Hans

I cannot be angry just because you have different opinion Hans. From your commend I guessed that you have never been on such an altitude. If you have been you will know that any physical activity is not easy. Even a healthy acclimatized person, like me at that moment start to feel it after few hours. For some people this could be fatal, please read more about it! To change the rear tire is a hard work even on the normal altitude. The cold weather and the remoteness make everything much risky than you can imagine. This is not Germany or Alps where you can call ADAC or friend to come in the case you fail. Over there you are on your own! Was you ever the master of the situation? Yes all the time. I knew what can I expect from my rear, I had similar situation many years ago with my dirt bike. I need to ride about 40km with flat tire. I know that the rear is wider, harder and if you ride it carefully you can have more than 100km before it's fall apart. With the front is different. With flat front you cannot make even 100m. As I said in one of my videos - I know my limits - Yes, master of the situation! If, in the worst scenario the tire was totally damaged I can always jump in one of the trucks and leave the bike there, but not before I tried everything I could. Yes, I am a lucky guy, but I never rely only on it. I knew exactly what I had to do and I did it. If you are able to change the tire great, but I have a question for you: What you would do if you try to change the tire and you cannot, because of many possible reasons: no power, lack of oxygen, punch the spare tube and injure yourself? I will repeat it again: You missing the whole picture my friend! All the best!

Although, he did explain his reason for making this decision quite well and now looking at it made me realise that I was not looking at entire picture, but just at the problem.

@@motorcycleadventures Well ! I have ridden that circuit about six times now and there is nothing that really made me think twice . Neither the altitude nor the terrain . For some who are not well prepared, it might be a big deal . Yes ! I had an accident, on one of my trip, due to black ice on Tanglang la but it did not dampen my spirits . I repaired the bike, since I had my tool box, nursed my injuries , with the help of a few good Samaritans and carried on . I wish, I could post pictures of my bike and my injuries on here, it would motivate most .

@@MotoHolic The lesson should have been learnt, before the ride . Since the man in question was very aware that he was riding to an area where even air was scarce, so not to carry tools or a pneumatic pump was not such a good idea .
