Thanks xl_target! Looks formidable!

Learn't something new today. A UMG (as against LMG, MMG, HMG...) meaning Universal = General Purpose (maybe)

MMG from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_machine_gun

GPMG from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-p ... achine_gun

:D

The question is - how high do you have to go - to get high? :lol:

Generous offer gladiatorgarg - I shall take it up one day, hopefully in the near future! (y) :D

Just back from my Leh trip. Started off from Manali and rode to Leh. This was by far the most difficult riding i have done. Rode through over flowing rivers, land slides, mud slush, ditches etc in close to freezing temperatures. All this in the thin air and low oxygen levels gives your macho self image a thorough beating.

Pics and videos to follow in due course once i can fully start to feel my digits again. I guess i will need a weeks break just to recover from the bashing this so called vacation has given me :D
