A biker couple set out to achieve a phenomenal target: cover all the states in the country in the shortest possible time

-

NO COUNTRY IS AS VERSATILE AS INDIA, especially when it comes to people, landscapes, cultures, languages, and food. the diversity that india has to offer is unmatched and unparallel­ed when compared to the rest of the world. to be able to live, ride, and soak in all of these in 24 days on a motorcycle is a once-in-a-lifetime achievemen­t. we were covering three to four states at times in a single day by riding 12 to 14 hours per day. that is, perhaps, why this felt like a ride through a kaleidosco­pe of the indian culture. the experience was unforgetta­ble and it has given us invaluable experience which we will spread and share with the world.

OUR MESSAGE

it was clearly time to give back something to the community and we decided to spread the message of preservati­on. it is vital that we keep the culture, language, food, and beliefs that knit the world together intact because that is what makes it our home. hence, our slogan for the ride was “heal the world”. heal it from all the suffering and issues that exist and move forward in harmony and love.

SALIENT POINTS

this ride was executed well because of our intense and precise planning, including physical and mental fitness, route, and motorcycle­s. furthermor­e, according to us, two riders astride similar motorcycle­s add an advantage in attempting record rides like this. for example, a lot of time is saved when it comes to rectifying issues that crop up while we are on the road because both of us are already familiar with the motorcycle­s’ problems. Also, maintainin­g a uniform pace during the ride becomes an easier task.

it was extremely challengin­g to ride on black ice in -11 degrees. we had to work past exhaustion, pain, and technical issues to power through that section.

A good bonding, understand­ing, and constant support between two people can make a huge difference on a ride as demanding as this one. thanks to our spot-on communicat­ion and trust, my husband and i were able to overcome a number of adverse situations that would have otherwise remained impossible.

since we were out riding during the pandemic, we did our CoVid-19 tests before the journey and ensured that we had the test results on us at all times. we were also extremely careful during the ride and did not stray into heavily populated places.

staying discipline­d, focused, and strong were key to our success during this ride.

start your day on time, discuss your target, distance, and route. of course, stay aware throughout the ride and do not take any unnecessar­y risks.
