Pratap || HH Karizma || Mad about Offroad || Solo...Mostly ||
Hi Guys,
Pratap here, I've been a member a long time and was active in the previous decade...drifted away but am back now. I remember a time when debates used to involve dyno readings and math were a part of an argument between mechanics on the forum. Two strokes occupied most of the threads (Fun times) Then it revamped and I quit.
I ride a 2005 HH Karizma which I traded in for a 2006 Karizma...This is my third Karizma and fourth bike overall.
I love riding offroad .. tougher the terrain, the more fun I have... My practice (and Proving) grounds have been the hills of Tungareshwar near where I live i.e. Vasai.
My bikes have always been heavily modified - all based on adventure bikes .. suspension, lights, etc.. all modded way beyond what stock can deliver by One Neryosang Mistry in Vasai. I've yet to come across anyone with more insight to mechanical engineering. In fact seen quite a few big names in the "Mechanic/Modding/Servicing " business drop by (or call on him) when they couldn't figure out an issue with a motorcycle - usually an exotic. No names, its all in the past now. This was of course before you could google stuff for an answer and find a tutorial on youtube.
I give credit where its due and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive for the way I rode. Still learning though... Motorcycling and Philosophy..very seldom do you meet someone who can teach you both.
Rides - Vasai - Rishikesh - Mussoorie - Vasai in 2010
A lotta other smaller rides...
Then Vasai - Manali (Solang Valley) - Vasai 4000 kms in 7 days in 2016
Am shifting base to Chandigarh soon in couple of months...The Mountains are indeed calling... Hoping to pile on some massive miles there too and explore the region.
Yes I will be riding my bike there, no train or truck for me...plus its cheaper
.
From 2010 ride - Sony Cybershot K790i
From 2016 ride - Nokia Lumia 1020
Well it feels good to be back.. Hopefully I will be more active this time and not just a lurker.
Cheers!
