Iterinary for Ladakh Bike Trip

As suggested by Amit and Sharnindar

Please note that i have taken each item mentioned in the list(even the optional ones). That is because I was travelling alone. However, as you guys are in a group, you can share certain spares or other stuff as they may be common across bikes/people. Do not overload the bikes. The idea is to have fun while we are on a mission and not to mess up things. Wish you all a happy and safe riding and enhanced bonding :).

Things to take

Bike Spares
Headlamp/tail lamp bulb
Spark plug
Fuse

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

Which features would I like in Google's Picasa and/or picasaweb?

- ACLs per photo, per album, per user. Nice to have: control over downloading the album and photo resolution for each user.

One of the e-mail I received....
======================
For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day
when you just need to take it out on someone!!!
Don't take that bad day out on someone you know, take
it out on someone you DON'T know!!!
Now get this. I was sitting at my desk, when I
remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the
number and dialled it. A man answered nicely saying,
