Hello guys,

My name is Jay Shridhar and i am 28 years old .
Currently living in delhi.
Belongs to Himachal and a native of himachal.

The history of biking starts from History of travelling and biking from my dad. My dad was a Bank officer and loved to travel a lot and that was a main reason for liking the travelling. every three year he use to get his transffer orders and he never denied and kept on moving, The only negative impact was that i never had freinds anywhere as my school changed every third year and plus point was that i got freinds in all citiies.

During his job time we travelled a lot in H.P. , J&K, PunJab, Rajasthan . My fist memories are of a Priya / Lamberreta he purchased when i was in first. He used to give me a ride any time when he liked on his Yezdi he purchased when i was in 2nd class.

At that time we live in J&K and that year ( 1991) he ride his Yezdi which he purchased from CHD to all the way upto Jammu. And since then he was doing long trips. So this was how i was / am considering myself a Born Biker.

I got my training all on Yezdi only so was kind of fearless.

At the age of 16 i got my hand on RX-100 on which obvsly i did many small a trip withour informing parents. The sound of Rx-100 was a real pleasure to ears. At 18 my dad gifted me a Suzuki SHogun as he saw my getting in love with bikes and their sound. I did rode shogun to much longer distances which were not above 200-300 ( coz this much was allowed to do in a day).

At 20 i purchased a Pulsar 150 cc and that was the starting of riding era...was studying in college from ajmer ( rajasthan) and from there only long rides to udaipur, jaipur, jodhpur etc ( i.e. rides above 500)...

got my first job in mumbai which i left only in 8 months coz somewhere i was feelign m not worth it.

Started a small venture with elder brother which was into Highways and Mapmaking. Thought this to be the best to fulfill my zeest of travelling and going new places.

Now in 2006 i was there in Arunachal on some work when i saw a number of Royal enfeilds passing thru....and that was the moment my selfness awaked...the spirit of riding which was lying ideal somewhere beaneath my skin....evolved.....and coming abck to delhi i went to purchase a royal enfeild luckily got my cousins Thunderbird who was going offshore onto office work. Did rode it 3 years and 2008 purchased my own Thunderbird

Since 2006 m riding very very regular and visited a lots of palces. Initially started with all freinds and then local clubs but soon cleared the picture that linke minds are always hard to find and posers are so easy to reach....

Started riding alone and was getting much more peace ...and understood the real meaning of ride....why i have to ride and i why i cant use any other transport medium be it work be it visiting places.....i make use of my bike the most whenever i get free time be it a single day or be it 4 months...


Starting july 2006 i rode to different states almost coverin all parts..i do take a 2-3 months vacation most of the times and concentrate on single state or two...

Rides done till date

NEPAL, BHUTAN, BURMA,

J&K, H.P., RAJASTHAN, M.P-., GUJRAT, CHHATISGARH, ORRISA, GOA, ETC.
i dont find any peace or any idea of writing the names where i have ride to...coz every ride is so different and so new....

but yeah in most of situation where i find a lock/ confuse/ bored/ frustate......RIDE IS THE ONLY SOLUTION I FIND....

my fav bike : Ducati Multistrada 1200 S....( putting my sincere efforts to purchase is soon...otherwise luking for bmw 1200gs)..

So i hope i cleared everything about myself without being so attitude or so frankly....like the way it should be...

HOPE TO SEE XBHPian soon on road....
