Never knew you were in xBhp; very humbled by your post. If you were any closer to TN/KL/KA/AP, I would certainly take an opportunity to ride to meet you at your convenience. AP also reminds me to meet another great rider just like you.

Frankly, I have no words, absolutely no words; I'm completely mesmerized, bedazzled by your achievement & I really don't know what to say.

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

thanks. I am presently in Bangalore for the next one month at least. Buzz me if you are anywhere near.

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

I'm hardly 350 Km away from Bangalore But I can certainly take an excuse to ride the already ridden million times road to meet up. I've sent a PM to you on account of off-topic discussion to this thread.

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

Sir, Join us for one of the Bangalore xBhp rides! It will be an honor.

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

Absolutely delighted to see this thread here on xbhp and a big welcome here to the man himself- Bharadwaj Dayala

Special tributes for a marvelous achievement from an Indian biker. By coincidence I happened to follow your journey blog long back when you got delayed in Egypt or Jordan due to some visa issues if I am not mistaken.

As far as I know, there was a group of 4 guys from Punjab that did a RTW on bullets in the early 70s. Then the duo from Jamshedpur on a RD350 in early 80s. Whereas yours is the first solo RTW ride from India and its a big inspiration for many Indian bikers that its not the size of your bike or pocket, but the strength of your determination.

Great spirit and ride safe

@bharadwajdayala

Sir I don't know if there is any word to describe what have you achieved. M just stunned. Take a BIG BOW.
You have definitely set a landmark and your achievement would inspire many souls for sure. And what a coincidence, today I was just thinking how it would be to ride from India to Europe and I see this thread.

Big Salaam sir..

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

oh my GOD sir... R E S P E C T !!! and thoroughly grateful apart from being incredibly proud that you are Indian. A true INSPIRATION. Hats off. To do such a feat one has to not only ride but adapt and engage with the most difficult of situations panning across the world... again, greatest of R E S P E C T !

Cheers.

re: Bharadwaj Dayala: Around the World in 18 months: xBhp News

Sir, some time in 2009, whilst on study leave in Pune, I heard about an Indian who had done a RTW on a motorcycle. And after Goggling, I happened to read your blog. As I read, my eyebrows rose up my forehead till they ceased to exist. I remember reading something about your trip being completely self-financed, how no corporate body gave you any support, some Rs 50 lacs from your and your family's pocket, troubles with visas etc. I showed my family, esp my wife your blog and both of us collectively shook our heads - " this man is insane and a genius, all at the same time".

I privately thought that, certain spheres quantity two, located towards the lower central part of your torso, had a Mohs index of 10 if not 11. One particularly endearing aspect about your labour of love was, I remember, that you stubbornly and doggedly insisted on riding the world on an Indian bike vis-a-vis changing bikes at each port.

Again, I vaguely recollect having written on your blog. And now, you have come up on xBhp. What a terrific privilege for the entire forum, per se.

You would be facing a veritable tsunami of queries on your saga for the ways and means of attempting even fractions of it. And from your answers to those already posted, I can begin to understand the immense reservoir of patience that you have built up in prep of and causative the ride.

Please do PM me when you are near Gujarat. My cell number is (^@$#$((^$. It will be my honour to share "good spirits" with you from dusk to dawn.

I have much, much to learn from you in all categories of motorcycling - the physical and metaphysical, the mechanical and the psychological. And may I be so presumptuous to confirm the same for the entire forum.

Prost.

PS. How the friggin' @#$%^&* hell did you do it
