Hearts & Tears Motorcycle Club, Pokhara, Nepal

After visiting the Lumb Farm meeting this year I decided I needed to make a break for it and do a quick month somewhere.
I decided on Nepal as several friends had all rated it in their top destinations and I'd always fancied it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I found a place called Hearts & Tears motorcycle club based in the Busy Bee in Pokhara that supply customised Enfields for sale or rental.
After a few s in the bar and a long chat with Rick & Moniek who run the club I signed up for a 7 day guided trip around Nepal.
What an awesome trip!! Wish I'd done it sooner. The bikes are awesome. Each one is customised in a different style and they certainly look the nuts. All the kit they provide is proper European stuff....Arai, Heine Gericke etc.

Rick and Moniek were top hosts and have the perfect blend of fun and professionalism. Can't rate them highly enough.

Just thought I'd let you all know. I'm now saving for a longer trip back there and maybe I'll even buy a Bullet this time and do 6 months. Just have to sort a few bits out at home......

Anyway, safe trips everyone.

Oh, by the way, although we hit a few roadblocks there is no hassle for tourists. Just roll up to the front slowly and you'll get waved through a gap somehow!!

Cheers

I met Rick in the busy bee in November and he couldn't wait to tell us in lofty tones how he 'has already been a millionaire once' which had eyeballs rolling I'm afraid and we avoided him. Glad to hear you had a good time on the tour though.
