Leave The Road

Motorcycles, Life & All In-Between

Picture this: It's last night, I'm in the wilderness after a long day of tackling trails on my motorcycle, finally unwinding at a campsite with the stars overhead and the crackle of my campfire. Peaceful, right? Wrong.

Experience the Thrill of Simple One Gen 2: A Petrol-Head's Perspective

Spent a full day ripping around on the newly launched Simple One Gen 2 electric scooter from Simple Energy. Wow, what a ride! As a petrol-head motorcycle enthusiast, I needed some time to adjust to this silent EV. Still, it quickly won me over with its thrilling performance and smart features. Here’s my honest, no-BS take from pounding Bangalore’s city streets, highways, and off-road…

From Bōsōzoku Beats to Pointless Noise: Stop Revving Like a Clown

The roots of the noise Before “rev bombs” became the default party trick at every random bike meet, there was actually a culture and context behind loud motorcycles. In 1970s–80s Japan, Bosozoku gangs turned modified bikes and outrageous exhaust notes into a language of rebellion, identity, and territory. Their bikes were tuned to be obnoxiously loud on purpose, and the sound was part…

Losing a Motorcycle and What It Means When Travellers Crowdfund for a New One!

On February 14, 2014, my Yamaha R15 was stolen. The heartbreak I felt was indescribable. I spent days running from pillar to post. I wanted to get the police report filed. I desperately hoped the police find my motorcycle. Adding to my distress was the fact that I still had a year left to pay off the EMI. The feeling of owing money on a vehicle that was no longer in my possession was…

My OG Himalayan 411 is Now Feeling Jealous: The Himalayan 450 Story

Let me tell you about the day I picked up my Himalayan 450. I’d been riding the old 411 for five years. That trusty thumper taught me everything about adventure riding. I loved that motorcycle—it was a tractor. It would simply chug along no matter what terrain you threw at it. It was simple, honest, and carried me through some epic rides across our incredible country. The Moment I Knew Things…

Suspension Upgrade Zedling Suspension

I upgraded my motorcycle's suspension in September 2021. 30,000km done and here is my experience so far!

As an avid adventurer and motorcyclist, I have always sought out the best suspension system for my Royal Enfield Himalayan. Not that the stock ones are bad. You see, manufacturers can only do this much when it comes to tuning a suspension. Every one of us uses motorcycles differently. Weigh different and carry different kinds of luggage as well. This calls for a custom tune of the suspension…

I love the direction in which Royal Enfield riding gear is heading. I remember back in 2020, I was part of a small feedback group where they discussed the direction in which RE wanted to take their riding gear product range. We gave tonnes of suggestions and are we glad to see them becoming reality. Featured here is the KHARDUNGLA V2 Jacket in Olive color. The fit and finish is fabulous. Bang for the buck when it comes to pricing as well. 📷@rohilsykes #RoyalEnfieldLifestyle #RoyalEnfieldApparel #REApparel #PhotographyMonth #Regear #Enroute #himalayan #RidePure #EpicRide #leavetheroad — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/wfNeRIc

Work will always be work. Some people work doing what they love. Other people work so that they can do what they love when they are not working. I make a living travelling on motorcycles, I work to sustain that living.

Gosh, it feels like ages since I have gone out riding. Work and life have been keeping me busy. Need to get out soon, find the elements in the wild. #LeaveTheRoad #UnRoad #offroadtrails #offroading #senditsideways #advriders #losttheway #shotononeplus #binilvarghese #himalayan #RidePure #EpicRide #PureMotorcycling — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/iIFLuU5
