Commuters need to become safe riders and live
long to ride long. that you know what you are doing, they don't feel
much.
BC: What you have to say about a very famous term
amongst the bikers which is "Bikers Brotherhood?"
Do you believe in it?
BD: Any kind of community is to get more security
and help when one needs. So bikers brotherhood is
definitely helpful as you will be connected to
various people and places and you will get
assistance and guidance by all these members. BC: Does your family support your riding passion?
BD: Absolutely!
BC: Have you come across to any female riders
(aka 'bikerni')? What do you have to say about
female riders, as they face more challenges in
riding than male riders?
BD: I know most of them. Nothing to say specially
to female riders, as I treat them as riders. A rider is
a rider, male or female. Yes, they do face more
challenges in traveling, but that very challenge is
why we take to riding, isn't it? So I think they
should take it up and make themselves strong and
just enjoy their rides.
BC: What do you prefer SOLO ride or GROUP ride?
why?
BD: I am a SOLO rider, yet I do love to ride in small
groups too.
BC: Would you ride a different type of bike, i.e
Cruiser if you have a sport bike or Sport bike if you
have a Cruiser?
BD: I love every kind of bike.
BC: If you have to pick one protective gear before
hitting on the road, what would it be? Jacket, Helmet
or Glove?

BD: It would be a Suzuki V-storm 1000 for a world
ride and a Honda Goldwing for a show-off ride.

BC: Riding is a risky sport, what do you want to say
about safety measures?
BD: Absolutely wrong ! Racing is a risky sport not
riding. Otherwise a billion people in this country
won't be riding. Any kind of movement involves
risk, even running and walking too. The faster you
move the greater the risk. But with safety
consciousness and care, anyone can be safe on
roads. If you want to live long and ride long, taking
safety seriously is a must.
BC: What your family feels when you are on a long
distance ride? Especially when you are not
reachable?
BD: It depends on how you train them. If you prove
them that you are a safe rider with no accidents and
BC: What's your point of view on breaking rules in
riding or about disciplinary riding?
BD: Riding is about being free. So the word
discipline sounds contrary to that very definition of
riding. Riding in a queue for a little distance in a
group is not discipline. Discipline is highly
individualistic. One should frame their own rules and
ways and sticking to them at all times is discipline.
When you are in a group, do what is good for the
group, when you are on your own, do what is good
for you.
BC: Do you think riding motorcycles has an
advantage over car commuters?
BD: If you talk about commuting, riders have an
advantage of sifting through the traffic easily and
causing less traffic jams and causing less damage to
the environment.
BC: What advice yo wish you knew, when you first
started out riding?
BD: How to ride? There are so many simple
techniques to ride easily and safely but not many of
us are taught. In India we learn riding from our
father's or siblings who might not know about riding.
These days some people are teaching serious riding
and I wish I had such trainings.
BC: Regarding those who don't practice ATGATT
(ALL THE GEARS ALL THE TIME), how do you feel
about them? do you encourage it?
BD: I am first-time hearing the word ATGATT.
