Vinayak Dalvi, 37, hailing from Sholapur, Maharashtra will come across as an unassuming man with no extra ordinary capabilities. He is the Head Service Engineer, Delhi and NCR region with many people working under him, he is also a first class passout from Automotive Reasearch Asso.of India, Pune.

Vinayak Jee, as we called him fondly, always was upto the task and fixed any problems that we might have had in the trip with any of the vehicles. He cleaned the carb of the Comet many a times after filling in petrol from forbidden places like the world’s highest retail outlet in Kaza and all. Not only this, but he also sat for some 4000 odd kms in the rear of the backup vehicle and on the rattling trunks which held together our precious stuff.

Till the end of the GIR he helped us whenever our vehicles were in a soup and for tht we salute this individual to have held his calm admist four baboons of bikers almost double of his size.
