I am a Royal Beaster from Delhi. Riding is not just a passion but a lifestyle for me. Its the motorcycling culture that keeps me alive ''On the Road or Off the road''. I have ridden from Kashmir to Kanyakumari so far. Ridden in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan, Gujrat, Daman and Diu, Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. I don't even remember the number of rides I have done so far. I only know that I have riden more than 1,25,000 kms in last 6 years. Just came back from an amazing ride Lahaul-Spiti and Kinnaur in June 2008. Nobody can explain the beauty of this region. One needs to experience it. Did an incredible ride this January 2007 with one of the Royal Beaster JULY. We called the ride as ONE HELLUVA RIDE. DELHI - KANYA KUMARI - DELHI. We also rode to Rider Mania 2007 in Nagpur in the last few days of the ride. The experience was amazing. Rode to Ladakh in June 2006. The experience can only be explained to people who have already been there. Others can just imagine it. So be there and feel it. Also rode to Rider Mania 2005 from Delhi to Mumbai and then forward to Goa and back to Delhi in January 2005. Lahaul-Spiti 2008, Kanya Kumari 2007, Ladakh 2006 and Goa 2005 are some of the best rides. Kashmir to Kanya Kumari is a completely mind blowing ride with a lot of variation in the cultures, landscapes and food. Done a tour on Harley Davidson Fatboy 1450cc with Hells Angels in US on the East Coast and thats one of the most memorable rides. ** T E A M = Together Everyone Achieves More ** Do only 3 things till the destination : 1. Ride 2. Eat 3. Sleep __________________________________________________________ Have had 2 major crashes so far : 1. First one was in Jan 2005 while riding from Delhi to Goa. There was a stone in the middle of the road at a turn in ghats. Was 100 kms before Goa. Trucked the bike to Goa. Got the bike fixed and rode back to Delhi. My Vega Flames helmet cracked while saving my Jaw. My Bike's Mudguard, Head light, Speedometer, Indicators, Tank, Handlebar and side brakets were replaced. 2. Second crash was on Ladakh ride. There was a heavy snowfall after Lachungla Pass and my front tyre bumped into a big pothole. I felt off and my right foot got stuck under the rear metal rack. The bike was already fully loaded and was over 250kgs. I was alone at that time. I just couldn't get my foot out. So I turned and lifted the bike with my left foot and took my right foot out.The ligament got damaged and I had a swollen foot. The headlight and the speedometer broke. I rode that bike all the way to Leh and then back to Delhi. _________________________________________________________ Some of my great riding partners are: July, Bawa, Ankush, Kartik, Gadget, Shyamal, Bilal and Gagan.
