It's the monsoon until late October.
Travel on the roads in India is always dangerous.
After dark it's lethal.
Even the locals don't go motorcycling after dark in the monsoon outside the
big cities, and I mean serious 'lifestyle' bikers.
It's no better if you go north either.
If you have to go motorcycling then please wait until November.
I have to add that I live in India in the winter and I don't ever drive
there, I employ a professional driver. Driving in India is never a
relaxing experience.
Take especial care in Goa, it's the only place I've ever been where you
have to bribe the traffic cops to attend an accident, and bribe them again
to make them go away...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
