For those unfortunate ones who have witnessed my lunacy this endeavor shall be counter productive, for those lucky ones who haven’t had the distinct displeasure of making my acquaintance, here goes...
A combine of adjectives that have been used to depict me: Loud, Proud, Biker, Metalhead, Gearhead, Work-a-holic, Raging alcoholic, Smoking Buddha, Speed junkie, Eccentric….
You might find my tattooed and pierced appearance befitting such a harsh depiction of such a gentle giant, All I say is being misconstrued is something I have made my peace with.

I’m quite a complex person, could fit into any role from that of the The Godfather to Ed Gien to Patch Adams to Sigmund Froid. Find solace in nature, hence the frequent rides to beaches and the country side. Love animals. I have always lived life to the fullest, never cut back on anything. Life's to short to spend it drowning in sorrow and woe. Sure I have made an abomination of certain stages of life, however the rest of it, I have pulled and held together with great dexterity. At the end of the day, as long as my conscience is clear, I have no regrets.
My fascination sparked of when I was quite little. My first love were the classic British machines of the yesteryear! To my good fortune, my neighbor, mechanic and friend of many years specializes in vintage motorcycle and antiques! Growing up around Royal Enfields’, BSAs’, Triumphs’, Matchless’, Nortons’, AJSs’, DKW’s, BMW’s and the odd Vellocet left me with a certain awe for these machines. When the time came for me to own my own motorcycle, it wasn’t unnatural for me to choose the only production (as of then) motorcycle from the above, the Royal Enfield Bullet.
I might have not known to ride, but I did know what kind of motorcycle I wanted. When all my peers were awing the CBZ, I had my heart set on the Royal Enfield 535. This bike was a contemporary of sorts, it had a Bullets engine, in a teardrop cruiser designed frame. Friends, family, everyone with anything more than half a brain, were dead against my decision to start of with such a monstrous machine. Now being the strong-headed kid that I was, I had to prove them wrong. And prove them wrong I did, now 5 years, many motorcycles, and countless kilometers later I stand before you, alive and kicking.
Being from the old school of thought, I very much prefer to work on my motorcycles myself. Infact I barely go to a mechanic to get work done on the bike, what I do go for is to discuss an idea, or to meet up with friends.
Got my motto, Live to Ride, Ride to Live tattooed on my arm.
I have ridden in the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Goa and Andhra Pradesh.
I ride extensively solo, helps me gather my thoughts. I also ride with two clubs now, “Iron Horsemen MC”, And the “Inddiethumpers”.
