Following the May Club General Meeting we will have a short presentation from Perth resident and new club member, Jigme Dorje (F650GS), born in the lap of the Indian Himalayas.

"Growing up riding bikes, travelling like a nomad in the Himalayas has given Jigme much freedom and peace.  He wants to share that with fellow Australian motorbike riders this August through the opportunity to engage in a profound experience journeying through the most majestic and uplifting country in the world.

Jigme's family are well known in the Himalayas; there have even been books written on them.  His sister Khandro Thrinlay Chodon Rinpoche is an internationally respected Buddhist meditation teacher who has led many tours to the Himalayas and sponsors many humanitarian projects there through her charitable foundation, Khachodling.  His older brother Jampal runs an established adventure tours company in India, which has catered to the special needs and requirements of guests for 20 years.  Both have assisted Jigme in making the 'Open Heart Open Road' dream a reality."

Jigme will present on his life experiences riding bikes in the Himalayas and his upcoming tour at the BMW GM at the Vic Park Hotel Monday May 11, 2015
