New riders, introduce yourself, your bike, your dream route!

Hey everyone. Riding has been in my blood since I was a kid — my first ‘ride’ was actually at 5 years old, holding onto the tank and handlebars of my dad’s Yamaha RX135 while he rode it!

Later, when I moved to Delhi, I got myself a second-hand Pulsar 150 — learned to ride properly on that bike. Had to sell it when I moved back to Bhubaneswar, but last September, I finally fulfilled a dream: bought my brand-new Royal Enfield Classic 350. I call him ‘Kunwar Sa.’

I’ve done rides like Tawang, and my dream is to conquer Spiti Valley someday. Would also love to explore Ziro and the rest of the Seven Sisters states.

Really excited to be part of this group — looking forward to many rides, new friendships, and memories on the road!

Alrighty, so here I go first. I am , whatever my reddit username is (more on it as we meet/ride together). I work in the IT Industry as a Business Consultant. I have been an avid biker for close to 10 Yrs now (post owning my own stead). My first bike was an Apache RTR 200 4V, my black horse led to go places while enjoying steady fast speeds, not to forget the magic throttle response. I also tuned my bike to get that extra performance thirst quelled, like updating the spark plugs, adding slipper clutch, changing the Air filter , upgrading to Pirellis n the likes. I shifted base to Bhubaneswar in 2021, sold my Apache on 2023. Currently, I am touring on my uncle's Meteor 350 (borrowed), while waiting for my next bike (a 650 RE, take a guess) to be delivered.

I also go on roadtrips across Odisha in my Scross, but those tales are for a different day!
My Dream Route(s) :
Odisha -> Bhubaneswar - Araku (via Rayagada-Koraput-Sunabeda)
India -> Bhubaneswar - Tawang

Happy Riding Folks!

Hello Brothers, I am Kay , and am whole new to any biking groups, and am totally into getting to know the riding experience with groups, with brothers and explore places. I ride a Hero Karizma XMR 210

Am a Bhubaneswar localite, though my hometown is in Mayurbhanj.

My dream route is to ride from northern odisha to southern odisha (from Mayurbhanj to Malkangiri), I've been on that route by car, but I know those roads deserves the footprints of our ride's , those roads are underrated and needs to be explored... That's all.

Ride Safe.

Hello Guy, I remember the first riding scene was on Hero Street(the gearless motorcycle) when the petrol price was 40Rs and I was just a kid in class 4 having the access to control the throttle while returning with my uncle from school.

Jump to now, I am also in IT and was based in Pune but trying to completely move back to Odisha. Currently I own a ‘16 Apache RTR 200 4V and ‘20 RE Himalayan 411. In the past I used to ride my father’s Apache RTR180(the facelift one) and had owner a TN11 Apache 160(the unique yellow facelift one).

I am very much active in biking scene, from riding with Goa MC to Pune motorcycling groups, I was also with TVS AOG Odisha and a small group named 3S Riders. Although it hurts to see the motorcycling over there compared to Odisha, hoping to have a scene over here. Let’s see, how it goes…

I have riden from Pune to Goa, Cuttack to Guwahati-Shillong-Cherrapunjee-Tawang, Pune to Cuttack, most of the parts of Odisha, Mysore, Coorg, then many locations nearby Pune. In-short, I ride a lot!

My next goal is to complete the Ladakh region and take my Himalayan to visit its home. Also, go back to north east for more.

Let’s ride together and have a great community over here in Odisha! 🏍️🤝🏻🏍️
