The Himalayan remains a path-breaker for rough-roading travellers. I consider it to be the domestic version of the Legendary KLR and similar motorcycles. A proper pack-mule, it may be heavy to wrestle with, but has a seasoned-vibe that lingers on, making you long to take it for a nice, long ride, ever so often. While…

MotoShopping: Rynox Storm Evo 2 Gloves
When it comes to motorcycle riding gear, I typically have a three monsoon life-cycle expectation. My exisiting, combat-style textile gloves were bought as a monsoon stand-in for my regular REGear leather gauntlets and lasted beyond expectations as an all-ride runner. I knew I was pushing my luck though and the pandemic-induced break was put to…
Dancing down the twisties, a Cub & the Tiger moment
I love riding, the idea of it, the whole feel and experience of it all. I enjoy riding solo as well as riding along with another rider, or few. The solo riding experience is all about yourself, either just living the moment, or using it to clear the mental fog clogging up the head. Riding…
Motorcycle Luggage: DirtSack Shell-Sack

Flavours of a memorable childhood (A Matri-RoohAfza Tale)
Growing up in the 80s-90s, many a Sunday as a child was spent snacking on matri, as us kids huddled in front of the television to catch the Ramayan/Mahabarat/cartoon series. The matri was always had with ketchup (Maggi tomato sauce – if I remember correctly) and washed down with a chilled glass of RoohAfza. It was a ritual of sorts and something that is intrinsically linked to some rather fond memories of peaceful, happy time.
Royal Enfield launches 3D configurator both on the site and app

Your motorcycle demands maintenance the same way as your love would
The motorcycling gang here has been trading tags with moto-pals over the various ‘challenges’. We’ve played a dozen rounds of moto-bingo, washed our gear, cleaned our helmets and are trying to stay sane, one past-ride post at a time. At the end of the day, when the head’s done spinning, I hope we realize, our…
Moto-Luggage Adventures – Part 1
When it comes to packing for 2-Wheeled travel, some are naturally gifted at packing, while the rest figure out the puzzle, one piece and trip at a time. Having broken many possible rules in the moto-luggage book, it was only fair to share my thoughts here… The adventures began with a plastic bag. You know…
Chasing Sunsets
I’d say there are two kinds of people in the world. One set loves chasing sunrises, the other, prefers to chase it as it sets. I grew up being in the first category, but crossed over when I realised, I didn’t really like it when the temperatures rose. Chasing sunsets also leads me to sights…
