    VADODARA: Three bikers - two from Gujarat - set off for an expedition on their bullets on Saturday morning from the city.

    Gujarat minister and Akota MLA, Saurabh Patel flagged off the expedition and wished them luck.

    The trio will be promoting Gujarat as a tourism destination during their odyssey that will spread over next two months.

    The bikers will pass through 17 countries on their motorbikes and cover a total of 15,000 kilometers by road.

    The trio has also decided to show a five-minute film prepared by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Ltd (TCGL) that is one of the sponsors of their expedition 'Silk Odyssey'. "About 30 bikers' groups will host us during our expedition and the film showcasing Gujarat as an industrial and tourism hub will be shown to people during our stops," said Kumar Shah, one of the bikers.

    Kumar Shah and Hitesh Raval, who is a mechanic, are from Vadodara and Gagan Deep is from Delhi. While the main motto of this daring voyage is to collect funds for child survival and care, the bikers also want to promote harmony peace in the world and persuade people to follow their dreams and passion.

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      According to other newspaper reports, they will be starting from Vadodara and going all the way to London by road. So that would ideally mean that they would be travelling through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey & then through Europe.

        Or they probably just took inspiration from Sunny's Mission Red Planet Ride. So they won't have to ride through Pakistan and Iran. Very difficult to get permission to ride between those two countries.
        Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

          I have read of a similar circumferential trip done by a chap some years ago. I forget his name (he was from South India) but do recollect that he had done it on a Karizma/similar bike from Honda. The trip had costed him Rs 50 lacs; a major proportion of which had gone in transporting the bike across the seas. And AFAIK, he had had no sponsors at all.

                His name is Bharadwaj, he is from Visakhapatnam. He traveled more than 52,000 km. on his bike covering many countries in five continents, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Australia and re-entered India from Bangladesh on October 2. He reached Visakhapatnam after traveling along the golden quadrilateral touching all the four major metros and Hyderabad. check this URL:
