Impressive!! I had two trips, one is from Bangalore to Ooty and other is from Bangalore to Kannur, traveled with Spl+ (hard to believe!!), but both of the trips I could not a find a single guy as companion!!(not because of the bike I use).
I am really happy atleast somewhere there are people those are really making it together!! Happy biking!!

Sridhar: Riding is your passion/interest/exploring new thing/etc. There is no specific path become a Rider. Its all your passion of doing thing. IF you want to be rider, First thing you have to ride based on your liking place 🙂
I will suggest, you can join any of the Motorcycle Group, Where you can ride in the group and get experience from other riders. After that you can plan your own riding based on Time and Money availability.

Hi Udaya
Nice to see your post.
i’m one in your category. Riding is my passion.
from the child hood, long rides were my all time favorite.
During school days i use to go on my bicycle, later moped
and after i started working i’m on bikes.
I own a Roadking and 02 Suzuki Fiero.
I’m very choosy with my bikes, so at the moment i’m with these
3 bikes.
I’m married, and my wife too navigtes me. Since we both are
nature lovers our holidays and ridings are the perfect match.
Would be happy to meet you people some time.
