Over 70,000 men and women all over the world dressed up in their finest dapper attire and rode modern classic and vintage styled motorcycles through the streets of over 600 cities, across 95 countries, to help raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research and suicide prevention. DGR in India has also seen great success with more than 2000 riders across the country taking part.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) is a totally unique global motorcycling event that has raised to date around £6million ($8million) for men’s health through the charity Movember, and Triumph is delighted to be the official DGR motorcycle partner for a fifth consecutive year.
Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer for Triumph Motorcycles said; "We're delighted to be able to support and participate in such an extraordinary and wonderful event, for such a powerful cause for good. We see this as one of the most important partnerships we have, which is why this year we have agreed a new four-year contract in order to help the DGR team take the event and its positive impact on men’s health to an even bigger level.”

Speaking on the occasion, Vimal Sumbly, Managing Director, Triumph Motorcycles India Pvt. Ltd commented “We, the members and dealers of Triumph Motorcycles India family, are very happy to have collaborated with the DGR for the fourth consecutive year in India. The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is a brilliant initiative which has not just successfully raised awareness and funds for prostate cancer but has also strengthened the bond amongst fellow motorcyclists from the Triumph tribe and beyond. The entire process of following a dress code and riding in harmony with fellow bikers is quite an enthralling experience to bring attention to men’s health issues.”

Triumph enthusiast and acclaimed actor of Sarkar 3, Kai Po Che and Sultan fame, Amit Sadh said- “I was overwhelmed and delighted to be a part of the awareness ride as a DGR ambassador. The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride is a unique international motorcycling event, organized simultaneously in several countries. The event introduces the participants to the reasons and cures of prostate cancer by making the public interact with experts. The unique theme of formal dressing of riders draws attention of the public, which helps to spread awareness on this disease by direct interaction with them."

21st - 24th September

I did a solo ride on the route -
Jammu - Pathankot - Dalhousie - Chamba - Bairagarh - Sach Pass - Killar - Cliffhanger Route - Gulabgarh - Kishtwar - Sinthan Pass - Daksum - Anantnag - Jammu covering a total distance of 872 km.

This is my first such long ride and it was an awesome experience. Solo riding/travelling is to be experienced to understand how liberating it is.
Fun.. excitement.. fear.. pain.. all made this a ride to remember.

A few teaser shots while I sort through the pics.

Hello,
This is my first thread here, let me know if I need to provide additional information about anything.

1. Budget: 50-60k INR for used
2. Age: 30
3. Height: 5'10"
4. Weight: I will almost always have the pillion seat occupied so the combined weight would be around 140 kgs.
5. Intended usage: To commute daily and go over long distances on the weekends
6. Fuel Efficiency requirement: Anything over 30 is fine for me.
7. Approximate Daily / Monthly running: Daily running distance would be around 20-30 kms and it will be long distances over the weekends
8. City / Town /Village of residence: I live in Pune but will be moving to Goa soon and there are a lot of steep uphill climbs on the roads in Goa.
9. I don't have any preference in brands.

With a budget of 50k approximately what kind of used bikes would fall under this budget. My requirements emphasize on the following:
1. Comfort for front and back seats as I will be going long distances over the weekends, always with a pillion.
2. Power for the same reason as above.
3. Would be great if the bike doesnt require a lot of maintenance.

I only have experience of riding a limited pool of bikes so any information would be greatly welcome!
Cheers

6000kms #K2Kride with Indian Motorcycle to promote Girl Child Education #WheelsOfChange

September 27, 2017, 5:49 am

#WheelsOfChange a social initiative by Indian Motorcycle India to promote #educateTheGirlChild. Three proud owners of the ultra-luxury Indian RoadmasterMr. Anurag Srivastava, Mr. Niladri Saha and Mr. Bernard Lazar rode across 12 cities and concluded the iconic Kanyakumari to Kashmir Ride in New Delhi. xBhp was also a part of this epic journey and here is the full travelogue from the #K2KRide.



For a true biker road trip is the most exciting thing that could happen, however it gets even better when it gets clubbed with a noble cause. Something similar is what we have done during our k2k ride. Along with the support of Indian motorcycle and three fellow IMRG Riders, we have gone all over India lengthwise starting from Kanyakumari to Kashmir supporting and promoting the importance of girl child education.

This concept of doing k2k ride was originated in one of the IMRG events organised by Indian motorcycle in Mahabaleshwar when one of the key Riders of k2k ride Niladri Saha decided and announced that we must do something to promote girl child education which got supported by Indian motorcycle and the fellow Riders Anurag Srivastava and Bernard Lazar. The idea was to go all over India lengthwise identifying NGOs who are working closely in promoting and supporting girl child education. now the point is the point is is why did we choose girl child education only as a cause?

The idea is to see a better future of India and that could only be possible with a well-educated society. And as per some surveys, it is observed that only approx 33% of females in India get an opportunity to go to school for better education. On the other hand, we could also see that almost all the educated mothers have well-educated children as well. With that perspective, if all females get a good education then we could really foresee a future generation with the higher level of education, better society and grown economy of India.

With this Noble cause, Niladri started from Raipur, Chhatisgarh and got joined by Anurag Srivastava, who further got joined by xBhp's Support in Bangalore. The official flag off happened in Bangalore from where their riders started to head to Kanyakumari.













Day 0:: Bangalore

This was the day when we officially flagged off for the ride from the Indian Motorcycle showroom, Bangalore, where we were also joined by Runa Ahlawat and other officials from the company to wish us luck and proceed with us for the event that was planned in Bangalore. From there we went to a local school in Bangalore, Rainbow homes that support girl child education. There we were greeted and welcomed by the students of the school, with some beautiful handmade greeting cards, strings of brotherhood (Rakhi) and a lovely song sung by the kids for us.



















Day 1 :: Bangalore to Kanyakumari :: 665kms

Early morning we got up with a warm welcome by the thundering sound of Indian Motorcycles waiting outside our hotel to see us off. We were joined by the Bangalore IMRG rider till Salem, where we had delicious breakfast and moved ahead to our destination for the day Kanyakumari. Afterall, the ride is K2K, Kanyakumari to Kashmir, so the real ride had to start from Kanyakumari. and we still had over 400kms left for us in the day to be covered.

It might sound a long distance to cover in a day but it was cruised pretty easily as the roads are amazingly well laid and beautiful landscapes followed us all along. Till the time we entered the outskirts of Kanyakumari, where we were welcomed by thunderous applause of the thunderstorm and heavy shower. We rode close to 40kms in the rain when we finally could see some bright sunshine from the shores of seas of Kanyakumari.

As we reached our destination in Kanyakumari, Sparsa resort, which has a beautiful ocean facing view all around, we were joined by our third K2K ride, Bernard Lazard, who travelled from Kochi to Kanyakumari to join us andbeing an integral part of the ride ahead.



















Day 2 :: Kanyakumari to Bangalore :: 665 kms

Ideally one may say that this is the day 1 for us as we are now starting from Kanyakumari and heading towards Kashmir. Crossing through the beautiful landscapes and amazing road, we once again headed back towards Bangalore. This time, a beautiful view that we missed due to heavy rain the earlier evening, caught our attention and we decided to stop there for a much deserving photography break. As we passed through one of the largest windmill fields I have ever seen.

On the way as we entered Krishnagiri, we once again encountered heavy rain, which again slowed us down. I must say when you have an amazing machine and right gears with you, nothing can stop you. You might get slow, but no reason to stop. Today because of rain and traffic the day felt a little longer, as we reached Bangalore pretty late as expected, it was already close to8:00pm.

Well, that is not something that could tire us down, as we knew that we have an amazing journey ahead waiting for us. Next day we had to ride to Kolhapur.







Day 3 :: Bangalore to Kolhapur :: 612kms

Today we decided to stay in Kolhapur, so that next day we need to ride a little less to reach Mumbai the next day. As we had an event planned in Mumbai in afternoon. Since we knew that 612kms from Bangalore to Kolhapur is on yet again some beautiful roads, but we also knew that we will find considerably more traffic to what we have seen on Kanyakumari to Bangalore stretch, thus, we started early in the morning.

While we were on the way, I was contacted by some of the riders in Belgaum who wanted to meet us, as we pass through Belgaum. We quickly said yes! as who wouldto want to meet the fellow bikers. As we reached Belgaum, we were welcomed by Belgaum Superbikers Club. It was so good to see fellow bikers greeting us, and taking out time on a busy weekday in the afternoon. We had lunch together and then from there we rode some distance together as well.

We reached Kolhapur by the evening, where once again we were welcomed by some of the fellow bikers who were good friends of Niladri, Anurag and Bernard. We spent some good time together and then called it a night. Next day, we had to ride to Mumbai.















Day 4:: Kolhapur to Mumbai:: 376kms

Today we had to reach Mumbai before 4:00 pm, as we had to meet students at Asha foundation, Mumbai. Hence, we started little extra early today. Enroute, we were invited by few our other fellow riders in Pune to stopover for a break and as they wanted to contribute towards the Noble cause of girl child education.

After a short break in Pune, we again headed towards our destination for the day, Mumbai! Today was considerably very hot and humid, we all were feeling dehydrated very often, and had to takenumber of breaks than usual. After entering Mumbai, while we knew that the destination is around the corner and just a few kilometres away, we could not wait to take yet another break near Powai at a close by McDonald's. Till the time we were riding, we didn't realise it, but when we took the break, we understood, it was highly required, as we all were badly dehydrated due to hot and humid weather of Mumbai.









Since we knew the students are waiting for us to reach, we could not have just waited and rested there any longer, so we decided to move ahead to our destination. On the way, we were joined by the few other riders from Indian motorcycle dealership Mumbai, who eventually guided us to reach the destination.

All our tiredness and exhaustion went kaput, as we have seen the excitement of the children on seeing us or I must say our bikes. We had some great interactive session with the kids at Asha Foundation for education, where we have had some good quality time spent with the kids and a lot of fun. We also, distributed bags to the kids at Asha foundation to encourage the students to study with more zeal and enthusiasm.

Well, one other day came to rest, and now all I could see was the hotel room, where could just get fresh and rest to recharge myself.

Day 5:: Mumbai to Ahmedabad:: 531kms

The previous day was tiring and required a much-needed rest. Hence, we thought we will rest little longer today, but it felt thunder god was not in favour of this idea, as I woke up with one of the loudest sound of thunderbolt I have ever heard at 3:30 in the morning. It was 1.5 hour earlier the planned time. And then the thunderstorm continued and I continued to be awake. I thought I'll utilise the time well, and get ready a little early. And so all my other fellow riders too. But to our ruined plans, Zeus was angry enough to be shouting and raining his wrath till 7:30 am, and the ride that was planned to start at 5:30 am started at 7:45 am.

Now, if you are starting your ride in Mumbai on a weekday, close to office hours and thatto in rain, what else do you expect but TRAFFIC. The distance that was planned to be covered in 30 minutes took us over 1 hour to cross and get out of the mad rush of Mumbai traffic. As we exit Mumbai, we stopped for a small break to let our machines cool down and straighten our body. But who knew, that small break will cost us the wait for 2 hours, as right then we got a flat tyre on my bike. And I must tell you, no one could have prevented that puncture, as it was full length 3 inches nail punctured into my rear tyre. Well! bikers find their own ways to have fun in the most adverse situations as well. All thanks to the support vehicle that was with us all the way, we got the puncture fixed and moved ahead from there to Ahmedabad.

On the way to Ahmedabad, when we reach Vadodara, we were again greeted by some of our local biker buddies in their city. We had spent some time chitchatting in the nearby McDonalds and then moved ahead to Ahmedabad. As we reached Ahmedabad, on the outskirts again we were welcomed by fellow bikers who then lead us to our hotel.













Day 6 and 7:: Ahmedabad to Jodhpur:: 454kms

Next day when we reached Ahmedabad, we have visited a local school Saraswati Vidhyalaya to meet and encourage the girl child education. We were also joined by theMr. Pankaj Dubey, MD and CEO of Indian Motorcycle and Polaris India, along with other company officials i.e Runa Ahlawat, Anil Sopore and others. We spent some real quality time with the students there and give away school bags, books and monetary contribution for the better education and facilities for the students. In the evening we had some great time with the fellow IMRG members of the Ahmedabad.

Next morning, we moved from Ahmedabad to Jodhpur. As we were crossing the miles Enroute, we met many more bikers, who were also going to Jodhpur for a bikers' festival organised by Harley Davidson. It felt good to ride along with so many other fellow bikers and see the bond of brotherhood everyone has for each other. Doesn't matter if you know each other already or not, what matters the most is the bond of biking brotherhood.

Well, we reached Jodhpur and crashed for the day. The other fellow riders went to attend the fest in the evening since they were invited there.















Day 8 and 9:: Jodhpur to Delhi:: 600kms

We stayed back in Jodhpur for one day for a much-needed rest. In the afternoon, post our brunch we went out for a local sightseeing, and we ended up reaching Oasis in the desserts, a beautiful place called Osian, which has a beautiful dune and over 800 years old temples. We had some great time and breakaway in Osian and came back to our hotels to start our ride to Delhi next morning.

When we came back from our small leisure trip to Osian, art our hotel, we got to meet Royal Riders Club, Jodhpur, who specially came to meet us there. They decided to ride along with us in the morning for some distance to see us off. We rode together till the very famous, Om Banna a.k.a. Bullet Baba temple. We took the blessings of Om Banna for our safe ride ahead and started off. Just before Jaipur, in Bagru we were again welcomed by IMRG riders of Jaipur where we had lunch together and then rode till the outskirts of Jaipur. As the traffic was increasing by every closing inch towards Delhi. We finally reached Delhi by 7:30 pm.

Throughout the 4000kms that I rode on K2K ride, the bike performed amazingly in all the conditions, as we rode through different kind of conditions i.e. amazing roads, potholes, Rain, traffic etc. it just felt like rooted to the ground and gives you the amazing confidence to ride on. And not to forget the gears that I was using. While I used them for the first time, the Axor stealth helmet really did a great job. Not only that it is light and stylish, the inbuilt anti-fog system did work really good. You really don't have to adjust your visor in different conditions for fogging of the visor. It just doesn't fog. So ideally I would say the helmet covers all the different aspects, clear visor for the night, internal sun visor for daylight and anti-fog mechanism for fog kind of conditions.

Similarly, I usedIgnyte Rambler riding jacket on this trip, which is very comfortable to wear as it is complete mesh and comes with YF - Beetle protector, which makes your protectors flexible and comfortable for long rides. As we reached Delhi, I had to bid my adieu to the other K2K riders as they continued to their ride till Kashmir and I had to stay back for some other work. However, this doesn't;t mean you'll not be updated with what happened next. :)









Day 10 :: Delhi to Jalandhar :: 377kms

On the 10th day of the #K2KRide, the riders started off from Delhi quite early in the morning. The destination for the day was to be Jalandhar.

The day started off on a pleasant note, the typical Delhi weather, on an early morning of September. The riders rode to Murthal for the first meal of the day. The cavalcade moved on & didn't make another stopuntil Lovely Professional University in Jalandhar where they were received with an exceeding excitement. The grand welcome was immensely exhilarating for team IMRG and K2K rider. After the initial excitement settled down, the riders were in for another treat.

The talented students of LPU performed Yog Sutra; an art form where Yoga that is performed with music.Ms. Rashmi Mittal, the Vice-Chancellor of LPU arrived to welcome the team & they talked at length, about the initiative of K2K & "Wheels of Change". The riders also discussed the importance of spreading the awareness of 'Girl Child Education' with the students of LPU.

The day was full of fun, frolic, adventure & very productive discussions. After the long but funfilledday the riders went off to call it a day, as tomorrow awaits an amazing milestone to be marked as they reach their final destination for the ride, Jammu, R.S. Pura.









Day 11 :: Jalandhar to Jammu (RS Pura) :: 235kms

All the K2K riders are full of excitement since morning as they started to ride towards R.S.Pura. Also, known as Ranbir Singh Pura. Their excitement was pretty obvious, as they were visiting the land which marks the territory between India and Pakistan and that you could see very closely. Well, after all the time came when the K2K riders reached amid massive mountains & the lush green valleys of Jammu. They began the day's ride by visiting the National Border at RS Pura, where they interacted with the jawans from Border Security Force (BSF). From there, the next stop was a middle school - Gazipur Kullia.

The riders had a long interaction with the staff & the students of the school alike. Little did the students know that these Soul Riders had arrived bearing gifts. As the token of their humble contribution, they distributed notebooks & school bags among the students. After bidding them goodbye, the team rode off for Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple & further off to Wagah Border.
















The team returned back to Delhi the very next day for our final event.

On their way back, they visited the Free School Under The Bridge for underprivileged kids from hutments on the Yamuna bank run byMr. Laxmi. This unique school is situated under a metro bridge in Shakarpur & we had to visit it.

Mr. Pankaj Dubey, Country Head & M.D., Indian Motorcycle India who conceived the idea of the #K2KRide to contribute to the cause of Girl Child Education, interacted with the students.

The visit brought about a really good feeling & it was enormous!

Short Ride to Ganalu Falls : An unexplored place near Bangalore

In search of new places near Bangalore for a short ride, one of my friend came up with a place called Ganalu Falls.

This was the first time I’m hearing about that place, he didn’t much idea about it either.
Did a google search about it, except for few photos, we didn’t find anything.

So we 4 friends decided to ride to this place on Saturday morning.
Started from Bangalore around 6:00AM, Stopped at Kanakpura for breakfast at around 7:00AM.
After having breakfast, started again to the destination.

Around 8:30AM, we reached our destination after riding through beautiful village road and a bit of off-road.

We parked our bikes and started climbing down to the water falls, it was difficult to walk down as there was no proper path and it was too steep.
The place is definitely incredible and peaceful as there was nobody else there.
We spent some time there and decided to head back to Bangalore.
It was very difficult to climb back as it was too steep and all of us was exhausted because of this.

There is around 2KMs of off-road is involved, it is easy to go by a bike but would be difficult to go by a car.
If you’re planning to go, take some snacks and enough water with you as you won’t find any shops once you enter the village.
Also bring back whatever you take there, don’t leave anything (plastics & water bottle) there.

Please DON’T LITTER as this place is at it’s best without any pollution and plastics right now.

Suggest the same if you’re suggesting this place to your friends for a visit.

Let’s keep this place clean and green.
Best time to visit will be in the monsoon or right after the monsoon as there will be water and the route will be green and scenic.

Route : Bangalore – Kanakpura – Halaguru – Ganalu Falls
Distance : ~100kms one way.
Date : 23-09-2017
Location : https://goo.gl/maps/44cMdxyUhzL2

Riders :
Zak – RE Thunderbird 500
Naveen – RE Bullet 350
Chandru – Honda CBR250R
Dinesh – Honda CBR250R

I have made a video of the ride, You can watch it on below link :

Dorna confirmed Pirelli as Official Tyre Supplier for WorldSBK 2019 & 2020

Pirelli has been confirmed by Dorna as the Official Tyre Supplier for all classes of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.

The Italian tyre company, in agreement with Dorna, the promoter and organiser of the World Championship and with the FIM, the International Motorcycling Federation, has extended, as per contractual conditions, the current supply agreement, set to expire in 2018, for two further seasons.

Started in 2004 and now in its 14th consecutive season, the technical partnership established by Pirelli with the Federation, promoter, teams and racers of the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championships can already boast the record of the longest running control tyre supplier in the history of International motorsports. The single tyre formula proposed by Pirelli was initially designed to contain the overall costs of running the Championship and at the same time, increase competitiveness year after year by offering riders and teams the same opportunities to compete for victory, through a fair and identical tyre supply for all.

Pirelli, right from the outset, also realised that the production bike derived series could be a great development platform for its tyres and decided not to give the Championship prototype but production tyres. Undoubtedly, this choice proved to be one of the best: based on the motto "We sell what we race, we race what we sell". Through these years Pirelli has made available to all motorcyclists products that trace their roots in their respective segments, winning the most important comparative tests and imposing themselves as market reference points. To remain faithful to the philosophy that has always characterised Pirelli's commitment and strategy in the FIM Superbike World Championship, ie to use production not prototype tyres, Pirelli in 2013, became the first brand to abandon 16.5 inch sizes, introducing new 17” DIABLO™ Superbike tyres, a size most commonly used by motorcyclists.

Giorgio Barbier, Racing Activities Director of Pirelli’s Business Unit Moto, said: "We are historically a strong sporty DNA brand, this year we celebrated 110 years of Motorsports activity, and this renewal is a strong sign of our continued business strategy that has enabled our company to establish itself as a benchmark in racing. First of all in the segment of racing and supersport tyres, with great success in both development and sales across the range. The bond between Pirelli and the FIM Superbike World Championship has always been solid, over the years we have strongly contributed to the growth of this Championship and, at the same time, thanks to our participation we have succeeded in developing successful products which we have made available to all motorcyclists. Now we are thinking about the future, we will work together with Dorna on the growth of the Championship and especially with the new Supersport 300 class, because today's young riders will be the future protagonists of tomorrow's Superbike World Championship."

 Marc Saurina, WorldSBK Commercial and Marketing Director, adds:“To have Pirelli on board for another two seasons is fantastic news for the Championship, and to reach the milestone of the longest running sole tyre supplier really shows the strong relationship the two companies have. Providing all classes with such an important asset as tyres is something we take seriously, and we believe Pirelli are the perfect company to continue with.”

This confirmation in the role of Sole Tyre Supplier demonstrates the passion and dedication that Pirelli has always played in motorsport, confirming an important feature of the Italian company's DNA. Pirelli is the Exclusive Tyre Supplier of the FIA Formula One World Championship® since 2010 and it’s historically involved in the World Rally Championship, FIM Motocross World Championship, FIM Endurance World Championship and all the most prestigious four and two-wheel motor competitions. And thanks to the experience gained in the top production derived Championship, Pirelli was able to become the control tyre formula in many national championships, including the British Superbike Championship in the UK, to name just one. The commitment placed in the control tyre championships, however, has not deprived Pirelli of being the leader also in open tyre championships and competitions. Among these, to name just a few, the CIV (Italian Championship), Superbike IDM (German National Championship) and FSBK (French National Championship).
