  • Touring everyday

    Hi My name is Francis and I ride a Yamaha Fazer 153cc.

    Just wanted to share that I enjoy touring on my bike and have done trips from Mumbai to Lonavala, Bhandardara, Kolad, Mangaon, Harihareshwar and Alibaug.

    To add more, I do a 100 plus kms everyday from my home (Mira Road) to my office (Vashi) and back. I feel this is more like a tour which i do on a daily basis.

    THAT'S THE ONLY THING WHICH MOTIVATES ME TO GO TO WORK.

    Planning to do it further as well.

      Welcome to xBhp, Franco...

      Reminds me of the time I used to ride to work to Churchgate from Mira Road when the construction of the flyovers had started -- and that too on an RD350

      Now, am in Kalwa and still traveling the same distance, but having more fun now done 35k kms in 15 months

          Hats off
          Thanks argee, but out of that 35k only about 7-9k have been in actual touring... the rest is just commuting

            ^^^ Even then, give or take, 25K in 15 months is incredible. I know the pain of it 'cause I'm almost in that league

                  welcome to xbhp.
                  and the question remains why do i race?
                  every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                  #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
                  #overkill is underrated.
                  #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
                  #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

                  (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.
