Turns out, going on a mad, fun-filled ride is only the beginning. It was just another week when the ‘ridingitis‘ bug bit again with a vengeance. Since everyone’s schedules weren’t quite aligning, it was decided that this’d be a short breakfast run, down to Fountain Hotel on NH8 for some kheema pao. The point is…

Twisties, trails and throttle rolls of fun on the NH3 run
The past few weeks had been rather hectic. Plenty of trips, but more a case of more work and less play. Plus the sight of watching the horses sitting idle in the corral had begun to get on the nerves. There hadn’t been much time on the road since the 2015 edition of Royal Enfield…

@TheBikerni wins The Motorcycling Club of the Year Award, 2013
Being a biker is a double-edged sword. People are forever taking pot-shots, cursing & abusing riders for breaking rules, being a nuisance and a danger to others on the street. To admit quite honestly, not all of it is unwarranted. There are many out there that care two-hoots about safety (theirs & others). They don’t…
