this is my story how i came to know about motorsports and about raid de himalayas and how i competed and completed raid de himalayas with a normal stock motorcycle hero extreme without any modification .lone non modified motorcycle of raid de himalaya rally .after coming back from nepal i came to know about the raid rally of raid de himalaya via internet so i just wanted to test my mountain riding skills .before that i have never ever seen any motorsports event nor ever i was interested in motorsports - i saw raid de himalaya website and called main organizer mr vijay parmar over phone .2 month after i went to a marriage in district kullu hp so i also wanted to meet mr vijay parmar for raid de himalaya.i went to meet him-he is Baba of motorcyclist in india -he himself won raid de himalayas in initial days now he is main organizer and founder of himalayan motorsports.. raid de himalaya is considered second toughest rally in the world after dakar -and highest motorsports event in the world . very few people could complete it because there is a time limit to complete the rally -i was determined to compete though i had only platina and discover motorcycle- iwas not sure which motorcycle i will be riding in the rally -----------------Today। met great motorcyclist and adventurist MrVijay Parmar jnu alumani, pioneer of Raid de Himalayas (among the top ten rally raid in the world,, in which motorcycle and car take parts in a race in high altitude Himalayas, )he has made many records in Himalayan motor adventure।आज मैं शिमला में रेड दे हिमालया के प्रवर्तक श्री विजय परमार {जेएनयू एलुमनी]से मिला, विजय परमार ने हिमालय की सड़कों पर मोटरसाईकल |कार रेस शुरू करवाई।ये रेड दे हिमालया के मुख्य आयोजक है।रेड दे हिमालया विश्व की सबसे ऊंचाई पर होने वाली रोड रेस है।।

Re: My Raid de Himalaya endeavour with a stock motorcycle- Hero Xtreme 200
i was not having a powerful motorcycle i knew completing in race specially on high altitude requires a powerful engine as well as i need to learn some skills -mr vijay parmar suggested me to buy a bullet himalayan or impulse to compete in the raid -hero impulse is discontinued model now and i dont like bullet at all so i thinking for some options like rented motorcycle because i was not having enough money to buy a new motorcycle -i had decided if could not arrange new motorcycle i will take my discover 125 ..

Re: My Raid de Himalaya endeavour with a stock motorcycle- Hero Xtreme 200
Please share your experience of the rally using non modified bike. I would love to do the raid someday with my impulse.May the sun rise infront of me,
the rain fall behind me and the wind follow me.
May the angels guard my travels for they know what's ahead of me.
Keep me safe through rolling hills, swirling turns and bad roads.
Let the moon's light guide me through the night.
Lord, thank you for letting me a Biker.
Amen.
Ride:- Hero Honda Impulse (present) , Tvs Apache RTR180(2015-17)

Re: My Raid de Himalaya endeavour with a stock motorcycle- Hero Xtreme 200
getting entry into a tough job indeed . the eligibility to enter into raid de himalaya need a lot of paper work ,more than any admission into college or any job -i filled at least 42 different forms to take part in raid.. its a lengthy and tiring process. every participant must have a prior experience of one rally -but by seeing my record of my different rides on platina in Himalayan regions of nepal .mr vijay parmar gave me direct entry into raid. before raid i never ever seen any motorsport and did not have any friend who is into motorsports -i just wanted to check my riding skill and my goal was at least to complete the raid .
