At Darlington Market Place

A sidecar trade show in 1926,
I cannot get the angle quite right with Google Street View but you can
still see the covered market with the clock in the back...

Enfield riders take 'impossible' route
Five Royal Enfield motorcycles and video director Gaurav Jani take us on One Crazy Ride along uncharted roads in Northeast India. The five riders do an "impossible" route through the Arunachai Pradesh of northeast India without a film crew or back-up vehicle.
The trailer here is well worth watching to the end for a hair-raising look at a long suspension footbridge the team is about to ride across a deep gorge.
The format of One Crazy Ride is the same as Jani's well-know video Riding Solo to the Top of the World. Both are by Dirt Track Productions. These trips by Royal Enfield seem to define bare-bones adventure travel. There is no staff of chefs turning out gourmet meals, no support trucks full of mechanics to baby the motorcycles.
If you're shy about taking your Royal Enfield out on a rainy day, watch this trailer, and learn. One Crazy Ride will be available from Dirt Track Productions in February.
