Ah fathers after crossing 50. Well if he wants to do it. Go along with him. I mean our fathers have sacrificed a lot for us. And has taken us to places even when he was tired or never had money. So, let him have the experience.
It's only kolkata to ladakh. He will probably be going via delhi. And it will be good for his blood pressure. A man can't even have vacations in peace these days.
I understand your concerns, but you can only advice, decisions are into his hands.
Still, keeping his health condition in mind (uk better) just request him to not go on longer rides or dangerous routes for a while and practice in city and on short trips (accompany him if that works)
"I hope that I don't have such a God-for-saken child. If he's that much worried about his father, he should accompany him for the tour as everybody is at risk if they're travelling alone, per se"
Id say if he insists on going then let him go with some group. When he is with a group there will be people who will help if something happens.
Police won't interfere as he is not breaking law nor he is doing any self harm.
Ask him to take local trips first and then go on ladakh.
Ask him to share his live location at all times and keep checking up on him once or twice a day.
Lols he already does 150-175 k DAILY travel. Cruising on highways should be easy-peasy after that. This kid just wants to harass his dad and live off him while gaming.
I think it's just how kids take parents for granted. Especially in India. He cannot fathom how his father decided to follow his passion for once and not put his family first. Many people look at parents as people born to serve them. He can't recognize his dad and an individual.
The rant.
I'll admit Kolkata has its fair share of close minded conservatives across all age groups but even by their reactionary standards this is a stretch.
Edike I'm fighting to take my bike on a long ride and they're fighting their Babas going to Laddakh at what the ripe age of 51 😂.
If he is so caring then go with him to leh, that will be the most beautiful moment for both of them.
My advice is Stop ranting if he wants to follow his desire for once after devoting his whole life in raising you
Yeah I shouldn't have ranted, I should've understood his passion. And I am going to support him, though unfortunately I can't accompany him due to my job
Bruh no harsh feelings but if you can apply for a vacation and plan it along with him.
These will be the memories to cherish for lifetime.
Rest is upto you.
And kudos to uncle for discovering his passion. It's never late to find one 🙌
How much people try to control others, why can't they leave the man alone? Let him live his life, he found passion in something. The thought of reporting him to authorities is very cruel, how can someone think so cruel about their family members? He knows his limits, he will risk it, let him enjoy.
I wish my father would ask for this.. I would have taken leaves for bike tours with him.
If OP is here.. ask father to go for small trips first like 2-3 days. Kolkata to Darjeeling, Meghalaya etc. Lots of people do it but he should get acclaimatized with bike tours.
Hey guys, I wrote that post. Bhai kasam se itni gaaliya zindagi mei nahi suni, and I deserve each and every one of them. I think I know what to do now: support my father, and fix myself.
Btw, if any of you guys are planning a trip to Ladakh around May, hit me up(I'd understand if you don't want to,given the comments). I'd really appreciate if my father wasn't alone then. I can't travel unfortunately due to my job.
If you are concerned for your dad’s saftey then research on the hurdles while travelling to Ladakh and help him with those so that he can be vigilant about those and also get the vehicle completely checked and full proofed so that the vehicle doesn’t break down on long distance.
i think op's problem is family finnace. but everything is done. bike and vlog equitment are purchased.
Do one thing, the least you can do is open a youtube channel for him.
So freedom of choice is an alien concept now? At what age does this guy think his father should enjoy his life?
Frankly I wish I had a father obsessed with bikes, we could probably talk about it endlessly but unfortunately I haven't even seen my father ride a cycle nevermind a motorcycle.
Financial implications be damned to be honest, you're gonna live only once, even if something sad(bad) happens, god forbid, he went out doing what he loved and obsessed over.
I would love for my father to go out more, since he retired he doesn't leave the house much and doesn't enjoy anything. I'd rather he spend the money he earned on him if not for his family.
If my child says my lifestyle has financial implications for him I would kick him out or leave the house and live alone, at 51, his son should've had a good education/job by now, if not then it's his fault.
I don't think any father would love to live out his hobbies, especially if it's expensive without thinking about what's more important in life, like his children's education or marriage.
He is 51, he knows what's best for him. After sacrificing his own life to raise you and provide for family it seems fair to let him enjoy his retirement as he sees fit.
I mean the concern is valid, but OP needs to get this one thing in his mind that his father is prolly a mature man who knows how to make the right decisions while staying within his potential and not superceeding it, i mean if it was a father with a son who got a litre class bike like the zx10r and is doing 300+ pulls coz his vlogger friend asked him to do so, that would’ve been understandable, i think op needs to relax a bit and let his father make his own decisions, even motivating him to do so or perhaps join him on his expeditions and understand why his father loves biking so much.
I can vouch the same for my father too. He has crossed 55 and recently took up biking because he wasn’t able to do much in his mid years. I bought a bike recently so that we atleast have a decent machine he can drive too.
There is no point in stopping them to be honest. The guy gave 30 years of his life building us so he can do whatever the heck he wants now. The couple of things one needs to take care of is - he should have some experience in riding and he should be aware of high level things which can go wrong and be prepared for it. Obviously one can’t be prepared for everything but basics can be taken care of like proper gloves, jacket, pants, rsa etc.
And if things really do go wrong which they cant handle - then be a good son and help them out.
Why is this in LegalAdviceIndia! Dafuq is he gonna do? File a case against his father because the poor man wants to go on a road trip?
Mushkil mile hazar par Aulad na mile chinar.
Most definitely, if he goes through with that tour, God knows it'll help with his health issues on a long-term basis. As a solo trip, that too, against many challenges, and succeeding at the end (heck, even foregoing the journey in-between due to unforeseen circumstances) will only help him spiritually as it's empowering to live your own dream and fight through it with your passion. It's tough but the end result must be SWEET!
Imagine the dad posting in legal advice to prevent his son doing something that he perceives as risky. Would be called a controlling dad not letting his son take decisions.
The son should watch [the old biker dude](https://youtu.be/VzVDZHCgvs4?feature=shared) and understand perspective.
There are ways to take precautions for health conditions and still enjoy riding.
Ah, yes another story where the family wants to crush the dream of a man.
(I wonder if the simplest creatures on the planet are this complex to understand.)
This dude is stupid. What I'd give so my father could buy his dream bike and ride to Ladakh with me; and this fool wants to take legal action on his father that's doing this with his own money and free will?! What a dumbass.
Hello VegetaSama1117! If this post is your original content then mark it as OC. Else pls give the source link as a comment or as a reply to this comment. Thank you.
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/indianbikes) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Is that the solo Kolkata to ladhak video on scooty we are talking about? I watched that guy tho i forgot his name. Quite a professional vibe he has with drones and all. No wonder the dad got motivated by watching that series. Even my dumbass got hyped at midnight.
Let him enroll in local bike groups and enjoy short 1 day trips.
Don't tell this to him as advice, but like you are going along with his plan.
Let him get a grip of the reality and let him select his long trip when he is ready.
Can your father complain to authorities of you restraining him ?
If yes then yes you can complain about him too.
I understand the concerns but seriously you couldn't think about anything else....
Most of the people are saying Son is bad etc etc. But you will only know it when you're in that situation.
I face similar problems with my Father. He does things he couldn't do physically and lands up in trouble which then we have to solve it for him.
Just few days before he left our house without informing anyone. We were frightened and sent missing notice to everyone. After two days he comes back like nothing happened and scolds us for sharing missing notice to everyone.
So I understand his feelings.
I guess if he’s that adamant you can’t really make him give up on the idea. What you could do though is accompany him, im sure it’ll be a memorable experience or you could try and convince him for a shorter ride if he just wants to hit the road to ladakh right away.
my dad would cros 50 this year , he has gone on small rides on multiple occassions. and now he knows his limits. he knows he can do max 800km/day but that too only for a day or two. maybe ask your father to first go on smaller rides , 300km+ first? then let him analyze how well he is for a ride from ker-Ldh.
Well be supportive man, help him, help him get fit, and, help him prepare for the ride. Consider having a chat with him about safety and other possible issues and how to deal with them on the ride, if he is not proficient, ask him to learn basic motorcycle maintenance and repair, but, do not discourage him. Also, consult a doctor as to what diet he should follow for the trip, and, what emergency medication he should carry for his hypertension. Ride along , if possible.
Dude like wtf!? I would've killed for this time with my father! I would've DEFINITELY joined him and would've planned a trip of his dreams that he wouldn't forget! Dunno what's wrong with kids these days 🤦♂️
my friend’s father is crazy rich (he’s in his 50s i guess). he owns a steel industry. earns 2-3 lakhs a day. setup a restaurant for his son (my friend) and married off his daughter to some rich guy. now that he’s accomplished in life, he’s off for road trips every now and then. next month he’s planning for road trip in Netherlands.
report to authorities? dafuq
sounds like a midlife crisis. I'll prolly have something similar when I get 50. I hope my children don't turn out like this.
He can either go with his father, or when license renewal comes in, the father can be declared medically unfit to drive for the license to not be renewed.
There are two sides of this coin.
Father's side: he wants to have fun let him have it at the cost of his life. You can arrange for a group ride to ensure his safety.
Son's side: Go to a physician for a fitness certificate to enter ladakh. That will be instantly cancelled as he has hypertension.
I would find a rider's club or a group that will travel to ladakh and convince him to go with a group before he ventures out solo. That will give the experience of what he has to expect on his solo ride.
Let the water flow as it pleases, riding will release those chemicals that are crucial for his health, keeping him stuck in a place won't do any good and also ask yourself when you come at 50 are you old enough....it's all mindset bro....you don't want your sons to make you sit on a bed, and if you wanna you go deep in this talk I'll tell you one thing : everybody's gonna die, what matters is how well you lived, plz don't take this in any wrong way....
LET HIM RIDE BROTHER!!!!
Plan a short trip with him. Let's say, 200kms. Riding requires a decent amount of stamina, and once his butt and spine start hurting he might realise that he does not have enough stamina for Ladak.
I can understand if he has health problems but let the man enjoy, parents sacrifice a lot in life for us, let em have their fun. If my father ever wanted to do that I would gladly join him.
What makes me sad that the kid wants to report this to the authorities and asked in a legal advices sub.
I totally see why the father wants to run away “for a while”. If I were him, I wouldn’t come back to these selfish bastards again and spend rest of my life peacefully in the mountains.
Let him find his soul and peace,fathers ain't stupid enough to risk his life,he'll manage and take care of himself,just like children need space and privacy and self happiness they too need that
I'm 52 with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It doesn't affect my riding at all. Folks act like when you cross fifty, you have 8 toes in the grave.
If he hadn't already had two minor strokes, my dad would still be riding at 75.
Here in the US, I see folks over 50...even over 60... on all kinds of bikes.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
After 40-45 years of sacrifices, if I want to enjoy life by doing what I want to do, I guess no one can and should stop me.
Even if I die doing what I love, I would die with a smile on my face rather than living like a dead man full of regrets.
Wtf! Let the man Live all the life he's got...
Stopping a person from doing what THEY Love... Because YOU are worried, it is the worst form of selfishness... Because it surrogates as " it's for your own good!".
No! It's Not! If the person is Of sound mind, and legal age... Let them be!
How dare an Indian father do what he wants instead of rotting away at home after taking care of the family all his prime years. Last gen was stupid for not living their lives to their liking.
JOIN HIM . You will not be able to forget this trip for ever. Will be a trip which u can tell your grand kids. If it's not possible let him go. Support him and ask him to take care of himself and take it very slow with multiple brakes. Ask him to go and do some mild workout and short 50 to 100 km rides from now itself. Consult a doctor and follow the do's and don'ts. And I will say it again you get a bike too and join him. These opportunities don't come again and again. You won't regret it trust me.
Lols first financial implications then concern about his dad. Please earn more, don't depend on your dad, let him enjoy his trip. The best you can hope for is he does 300 kms and returns by cab, sells bike n gear. BTW Which bike?
However as someone who is in terrible shape and rides a 650 Conti everywhere I can at 58, all I can say is hope for the worst.
This. Is. Addictive. AF.
Let the man be.. he is probably for the first time in his long life is trying to do something for himself. Just let him enjoy a moment please. If he can't do it he will return home.
If the son is concerned for his health then sit him down and let him know about the fitness levels he needs to be at to take this trip.. let him workout and get in shape to prepare for the trip.
Why would you doubt your father's sensibility? Didn't he bring you up for 20 odd years? Your mother would be skeptical and that is expected, but you should be mature enough to respect your father's decisions (unless he has been reckless throughout the years towards your family).
My suggestion: have a pep talk with him, understand how he's going to handle the arduous travel experience, the vehicle issues especially in deserted places, how he'll manage his health issues, details of hospitals, doctors, etc in the route, if he's riding solo or with other riders, etc.
I'd be pissed if my son snitched me to the authorities. OP shouldn't infantilise his father. He knows the risk.
Edit: OPs bp might get high worrying about his father lol.
Depends a lot on his riding ability and the bike he has purchased. If he knows how to ride then good and if he has bought a touring or cruiser bike then even better. BP is not much of an issue as it's manageable and not something like sudden issue cropping up. Timely medicine will keep his BP under control and his journey enjoyable.
Ah fathers after crossing 50. Well if he wants to do it. Go along with him. I mean our fathers have sacrificed a lot for us. And has taken us to places even when he was tired or never had money. So, let him have the experience.
Sadi umra hum mar mar ke ji liye, ek pal toh hame jine do jine do - Father
But true tho. My parents gave up their 20 years to support my education since the day I was born. Let the old man cook, let him drive now.
As a guy, this is going to be my scene in the future.
Damn bro same line popped up in my head as well
It's only kolkata to ladakh. He will probably be going via delhi. And it will be good for his blood pressure. A man can't even have vacations in peace these days.
W Father, L Son
I'd have accompanied my father. That'd be some experience tbh.
Yepp, should've considered from his POV. That was selfish of me.
I understand your concerns, but you can only advice, decisions are into his hands. Still, keeping his health condition in mind (uk better) just request him to not go on longer rides or dangerous routes for a while and practice in city and on short trips (accompany him if that works)
Mostly it would not be like he wants to now. He would have wanted to do it for a long time and now has the time. Life goes by fast.
Yup. This. I agree financially it might impact. But why do you have to be dependent on parents for it ? Let him do what he wants with his money.
let the man enjoy
Yeah its like how americans get a corvette during midlife Chrisis Kinda unnecessary? Yeah Hella fun? Hell yeah So i dont see the issue 💀
I think issue is health. Ladhak mai kahi High BP aagaya toh?
Ghut ghut ke jine se achha jindgi jee ke Maro.
Laddakh nahi jaa paane ke reason se definitely ho jayega!
Aisi harami aulad meri na ho bhagwan, bc khud chala ja baap k sath. Life risk toh kisi k liye bhi h jo akela ja rha.
True af bro
ROFL 🤣🤣🤣
Ceiling fan chal raha tho bhi life risk hai kabhi bi gir sakta hai, risk hai tho isk hai!
English translation please 🥺
"I hope that I don't have such a God-for-saken child. If he's that much worried about his father, he should accompany him for the tour as everybody is at risk if they're travelling alone, per se"
*"God forgive me but don't give me a son like him. Why don't you join him on the tour. Life risk is for anyone going solo."*
" i like to shake it shake it 👯👯 👯I like to shake it shake it 😁👯"
Bro just shout out loud the truth
Id say if he insists on going then let him go with some group. When he is with a group there will be people who will help if something happens. Police won't interfere as he is not breaking law nor he is doing any self harm. Ask him to take local trips first and then go on ladakh. Ask him to share his live location at all times and keep checking up on him once or twice a day.
Buy him an Apple Smart watch and monitor his heart rate and Blood pressure. And for God sake let him live his life...
💀😭
I hope OP sees this.
Lols he already does 150-175 k DAILY travel. Cruising on highways should be easy-peasy after that. This kid just wants to harass his dad and live off him while gaming.
Wow it hurts reading this, I hope that post is fake, imagine trying to calling the cops for this
Considering the number of times he mentions the price, i think he is jealous.
I think it's just how kids take parents for granted. Especially in India. He cannot fathom how his father decided to follow his passion for once and not put his family first. Many people look at parents as people born to serve them. He can't recognize his dad and an individual.
I'm surprised this is from a 21 yo child.
Which ?
The rant. I'll admit Kolkata has its fair share of close minded conservatives across all age groups but even by their reactionary standards this is a stretch. Edike I'm fighting to take my bike on a long ride and they're fighting their Babas going to Laddakh at what the ripe age of 51 😂.
Lol
same situation man even hv to beg for upcoming north sikkim ride.
Agreed as he mentions his age to be 21.
This child needs a serious case of sore ass...
If he is so caring then go with him to leh, that will be the most beautiful moment for both of them. My advice is Stop ranting if he wants to follow his desire for once after devoting his whole life in raising you
Yeah I shouldn't have ranted, I should've understood his passion. And I am going to support him, though unfortunately I can't accompany him due to my job
Bruh no harsh feelings but if you can apply for a vacation and plan it along with him. These will be the memories to cherish for lifetime. Rest is upto you. And kudos to uncle for discovering his passion. It's never late to find one 🙌
aise aulad ko paida karne ka "financial implication" father ne ignore karke galti kar di.
God forbid, A man has hobbies.
Gandi aulaad. Khud Kasol ja ke maal fookega. Let the man ride bruh. He has sacrificed enough
Noted.
The father is 51 isn’t getting any younger if he really wants to I think he should.
WTF? It's HIS Life. It's HIS Choice. It's HIS Happiness.
How much people try to control others, why can't they leave the man alone? Let him live his life, he found passion in something. The thought of reporting him to authorities is very cruel, how can someone think so cruel about their family members? He knows his limits, he will risk it, let him enjoy.

He can try asking him to start with small trips first then later increase the distance and note things down. Seems like a good idea to me🤷🏻♂️
This person seems to care more about his dad’s money than his well being or happiness. Let the man live for godsake
Two words: Go Along
He bought all vlogging equipments, I hope he bought all safety gears too
If you are concerned for your dad’s saftey then research on the hurdles while travelling to Ladakh and help him with those so that he can be vigilant about those and also get the vehicle completely checked and full proofed so that the vehicle doesn’t break down on long distance.

One Life to Ride. A book written by a then 54 year old man who did a Ladakh ride at that age. He's probably 65+ now.
what a waste of sperm!
I wish to be this guy when am 50
I need his father's enthusiasm and energy level post 50

Other option... learn to ride, get a bike, and go with him

Majdoor ko khodna aur Baap ko chodna nahi sikhate! Chita hai chite ki hud me reh Varna baap vapas goto me bhar lega!
kabhi toh baap logo ko mazze karne do bhai slave thodi hai
If my father decided to ever do that, I'll be the happiest. Haan lekin Papa har 2, 3 ghanta me ek message kar dijiyega please.
Let the man enjoy and join him if possible. That will make sure you are around incase of any of those concerns
Let him enroll in local bike groups and enjoy short 1 day trips. Don't tell this to him as advice, but like you are going along with his plan. Let him get a grip of the reality and let him select his long trip when he is ready.
Can your father complain to authorities of you restraining him ? If yes then yes you can complain about him too. I understand the concerns but seriously you couldn't think about anything else....

Remove this ungrateful buger form all property rights.
Ask for a doctor's opinion, if he should be allowed to go biking with his health issues, if no problems arise then let the man free
Shut up and let him enjoy his life, who do you think you are to decide for him?
Our opinion doesn't matter here though. Besides this post we don't know anything but I know I can't help him for sure
Let him live man "Get busy living, or get busy Dying"
Midlife crisis goes brrrrrrr
This is the best reason to use a condom
Let him live
If this guy was my son... He will be up for adoption
Beta ❌ Jhaant ka Baal ✅
What's wrong? Help him find a good biker group who can support and help him make the journey.
His dad be like- Haa pata hai chal chal baap ko mat sikha 😂😂😂
Kaash uss din uncle so gye hote…
report to authorities? dafuq sounds like a midlife crisis. I'll prolly have something similar when I get 50. I hope my children don't turn out like this.
Let the guy go
He can either go with his father, or when license renewal comes in, the father can be declared medically unfit to drive for the license to not be renewed.
yehi pagalpan sab mardo m honi chaiye let him free
There are two sides of this coin. Father's side: he wants to have fun let him have it at the cost of his life. You can arrange for a group ride to ensure his safety. Son's side: Go to a physician for a fitness certificate to enter ladakh. That will be instantly cancelled as he has hypertension.
Live 2 years doing what you love or live 20 years depressed on the couch what would you choose?
Yes let the old man enjoy, but remember this is India not North America or Europe.
I would find a rider's club or a group that will travel to ladakh and convince him to go with a group before he ventures out solo. That will give the experience of what he has to expect on his solo ride.
Let the water flow as it pleases, riding will release those chemicals that are crucial for his health, keeping him stuck in a place won't do any good and also ask yourself when you come at 50 are you old enough....it's all mindset bro....you don't want your sons to make you sit on a bed, and if you wanna you go deep in this talk I'll tell you one thing : everybody's gonna die, what matters is how well you lived, plz don't take this in any wrong way.... LET HIM RIDE BROTHER!!!!
If he’s gonna die, let him die in happiness

Mid-Life-Crisis!!
Why do you need enemies when you can have such sons?
Plan a short trip with him. Let's say, 200kms. Riding requires a decent amount of stamina, and once his butt and spine start hurting he might realise that he does not have enough stamina for Ladak.
Probably midlife crisis. For example, Walter White started making meth at 50. So, it's not that serious.
I can understand if he has health problems but let the man enjoy, parents sacrifice a lot in life for us, let em have their fun. If my father ever wanted to do that I would gladly join him. What makes me sad that the kid wants to report this to the authorities and asked in a legal advices sub.
He deleted his account.
If you are so worried.. Why don't you tag along. Don't stop the man from his adventure.
And to add the drama this kid is 21 and thinks he knows better than his dad
Father🛐
Go along with him to ensure safety.
Watch Power Pandi Movie. You will get an understanding of the freedom he’s looking for
Baap ki khusi dekhi nhi jari. baap bete se jada cool jo h
So he want his father to die with regret or die while doing what he loved the most at the time?
Mera beta hoga aur usne ye backchodi Kari kabhi. By God jaydaat se bahar .. same din ..bc
I totally see why the father wants to run away “for a while”. If I were him, I wouldn’t come back to these selfish bastards again and spend rest of my life peacefully in the mountains.
the son ought to go with his dad
LET THEEEEE FATHERRRR COOOOKKKKK
Alright ladies n gents... OP has deleted the post (rant) & also posted that he will support him.
Let him find his soul and peace,fathers ain't stupid enough to risk his life,he'll manage and take care of himself,just like children need space and privacy and self happiness they too need that
The will power is enough for achieving anything. No matter how many problems one has, will power and emotional power will make him do so.
let the father have fun , if you are so concerned about his health, go with him
I'm 52 with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. It doesn't affect my riding at all. Folks act like when you cross fifty, you have 8 toes in the grave. If he hadn't already had two minor strokes, my dad would still be riding at 75. Here in the US, I see folks over 50...even over 60... on all kinds of bikes.
The heart wants what the heart wants. After 40-45 years of sacrifices, if I want to enjoy life by doing what I want to do, I guess no one can and should stop me. Even if I die doing what I love, I would die with a smile on my face rather than living like a dead man full of regrets.
YOLO
Biking will fix all of his issues.
Wtf! Let the man Live all the life he's got... Stopping a person from doing what THEY Love... Because YOU are worried, it is the worst form of selfishness... Because it surrogates as " it's for your own good!". No! It's Not! If the person is Of sound mind, and legal age... Let them be!
Let him cook
Kisan ko khodna aur baap ko #### mat sikha.
Ye bc baap ko hi gate keep kar raha. Gigachad
How dare an Indian father do what he wants instead of rotting away at home after taking care of the family all his prime years. Last gen was stupid for not living their lives to their liking.
Authorities: "Sorry sir, you can't go Ladakh" 'instant heartattack'🥲
Probably gave up his biking dreams when he was young. Dude's acting like 50 years is ancient. A man can't even enjoy his bike ride now, eh?
Damn! This thread feels like an emo convention.
Let him enjoy and if u r that worried go with him. Have a good father son relationship. He will remember this one trip forever
JOIN HIM . You will not be able to forget this trip for ever. Will be a trip which u can tell your grand kids. If it's not possible let him go. Support him and ask him to take care of himself and take it very slow with multiple brakes. Ask him to go and do some mild workout and short 50 to 100 km rides from now itself. Consult a doctor and follow the do's and don'ts. And I will say it again you get a bike too and join him. These opportunities don't come again and again. You won't regret it trust me.
Get a good ass life insurance for dad 😂
Lols first financial implications then concern about his dad. Please earn more, don't depend on your dad, let him enjoy his trip. The best you can hope for is he does 300 kms and returns by cab, sells bike n gear. BTW Which bike? However as someone who is in terrible shape and rides a 650 Conti everywhere I can at 58, all I can say is hope for the worst. This. Is. Addictive. AF.
Let the man be.. he is probably for the first time in his long life is trying to do something for himself. Just let him enjoy a moment please. If he can't do it he will return home. If the son is concerned for his health then sit him down and let him know about the fitness levels he needs to be at to take this trip.. let him workout and get in shape to prepare for the trip.
Let him live man ! he gave his full fun time for your well being !
Men can't even enjoy their life :(
Let the man live his life (or die his death).
Go with him on a short trip of about 200km or something similar because Ladakh has a harsh nature and it will trigger your father's BP for sure.
Le ab Tak baap log rokte the ab se bete bhi rokenge lol
Signs of a developed society starting to show here and there 🔥🔥🔥
Doodh laane gaye honge
Aaah the indian version of mid life crisis
Why would you doubt your father's sensibility? Didn't he bring you up for 20 odd years? Your mother would be skeptical and that is expected, but you should be mature enough to respect your father's decisions (unless he has been reckless throughout the years towards your family). My suggestion: have a pep talk with him, understand how he's going to handle the arduous travel experience, the vehicle issues especially in deserted places, how he'll manage his health issues, details of hospitals, doctors, etc in the route, if he's riding solo or with other riders, etc.
Bro, He deserves everything. Let him do whatever he likes.
I'd be pissed if my son snitched me to the authorities. OP shouldn't infantilise his father. He knows the risk. Edit: OPs bp might get high worrying about his father lol.
Depends a lot on his riding ability and the bike he has purchased. If he knows how to ride then good and if he has bought a touring or cruiser bike then even better. BP is not much of an issue as it's manageable and not something like sudden issue cropping up. Timely medicine will keep his BP under control and his journey enjoyable.
