  • Aashish Kumar - Top 20 finalist - Biker of the Year 2011

    About Aashish Kumar: "The first ever trip on a 2 wheel was with my Dad on his chetak when i was quite young. Flowing through western ghats gave me something that would last with me for ever. Since then I have only aspired to travel on my motorcycle and explore places. I did a small ride across the country in 2008 covering 14,000 odd Kms and that has certainly set an inspiration for me to head out on journey that will lead me to find the essence of Infinity."

    Do I think I have contributed to the motorcycling community, however a
    small way it may be?

    Well I don't really know if I have done it. But yes me and my club members do aspire to make roads safer and we promote and do as much as possible to inspire people to use safety gears and be safe riders. I also helped to put together one of first registered Free style club in Bangalore called Club Ragging Demonz and certainly the boys have changed the definition of free style riding in Bangalore and also it would be safe to say in few other cities and towns.

    How can I contribute more in the future to the motorcycling community?
    I have been planning and working on a project that shall certainly change the definition the way people look at Motorcycles and also the people who neglect every aspect of Safety just to show the way they look. This community or rather Project will be an example and an institution for people who would really respect these machines and respect themselves as the riders of this 2 wheeled wonder.

    My Touring Experience

    1,50,000 +

    Best Ride
    The cross country ride spanning 14,000+ kms during 2008 with a message to Save The Tigers was certainly one of the best but the first ride ever that I went on with my dad to Dharmasthala in the western ghats was the best and will be the best ever.Cos of that ride I am a rider today.

    One dream ride that I want to do
    Build a family bike and take them to the Himalaya's.

    Places I have ridden
    Except for the North East, I have scaled through almost entire India. Again Almost.

    Best touring Bike according to me
    BMW R1250 GS, Honda Gold Wing and my dream build ' Veda '.

    Tips to budding tourers
    Touring is not about hopping on your bike and riding down to a destination. Touring is all about experiencing the essence of riding and communicating with your machine and feel every moment that comes across you before you reach the destination. So if you aspire to be a tour'er first understand the real meaning of your journey and I promise you will never forget the experience.

    My Stunting Experience
    About my stunting career

    Even though I quit stunting long ago a few of my friends decided to start a stunting club and I was surely ready to help them set it up. Today CRD is one of leading Free style clubs in India.

    We have been part of Chris Pfifier India tour and our boys have performed along with the legend in Bangalore. On a routine basis we have put up and putting up shows during various College fests and Auto Expo's held in Bangalore.
