21st Nov 9:00 AM, New Delhi: I set out on a 6-Day 6-City 1900 km ride across Rajasthan on a Triumph Tiger covering some of the most beautiful, scenic and historic places like Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Longewala , Bikaner and Jaipur. The very thought of experiencing the roads, people, culture, traditions, food, forts, landscapes, camels, deserts etc got me all excited from the first day I started to chalk down my route for this trip.
The ride started from the Triumph Motorcycles Showroom in Delhi on a Triumph Speed Triple 1050 cc which I rode till Jaipur. Riding the street triple for 250+ Kms distance was my first time on such a bike. The pick-up, torque and the overall performance of the bike was excellent. Maneuvering a 1050cc bike in traffic was surprisingly smooth and the engine did not heat up too - which is a common thing with higher cc motorcycles.
Day 2 6:00 AM, Jaipur:
Day 3 Jodhpur, Mehrangarh fort:
Longewala was the farthest point of my ride where the weather was heating up, dehydration setting in making me stop every 50 km. With the current tensions going on with our neighboring country, visitors were not allowed beyond the check post due to security issues. The closest point that one could reach is 20 km near till the border.
Day 5, Bikaner:
There is a lot of perseverance, hard work, consistency and patience behind every picture or a video I captured on this journey. I had my own ups and downs to overcome and accomplish this road trip where I brought Rajasthan through my eyes riding a motorcycle. Working daily for hours and sometimes into the nights, sending mails or making calls it took a lot to ride my dream super bike for 6 days and I did it. If I could, anyone else could excel in their fields or go beyond conventions to live a life they always wanted to.
