About Mervyn: "A guy who quit his job to be on the move. loaded his 1980 350 Royal enfield with a tent, sleeping bag a few pair of clothes and an attitude open to adapt and evolve on the road. No plans, no destination and no timeline. earn your food and fuel from the road and keep moving further and beyond and experience all that comes you way existentially. Now would that call me a Biker."

Do I think I have contributed to the motorcycling community, however a
small way it may be?
I started my journey on the my bullet on July the 21st from Mumbai. so far i have covered 9 states, which included a few stops to earn food and fuel. now i am on a pit stop in Bangalore. All my experiences have been documented in form of pics videos and text which is shared on a web based forum for all travel and motor community.
How can I contribute more in the future to the motorcycling community?
I am trying to a lifestyle on the move. using the vehicle as the medium of movement. My experiences on the road can be insights to all people who intend to take such journeys in their lifetime. In my past one year's expedition on the road. there has been loads of incidents which has only helped me become stronger and patient and more motivated to be on the road forever.
My Touring Experience
Total Kms. Clocked: Over 100000kms
Best Ride: The current one. Strapped all essentials on the bike. Started from Mumbai - with no plans and no timelines. earn your fuel and move head. now i have reached Arunachal Pradesh via Delhi, Punjab, Himachal, and Assam. This Journey will never end....
