BC: What's your point of view about riders
and riders community in India? Especially the
Riding Clubs?
NN: I haven't rode with any clubs till yet so
can't say about riding clubs. It must be very
interesting and hope their brotherhood always
remains intact. There are hundreds of riding
clubs in India but I wish there should be a
single platform or one club to keep everyone
united without any grudges or politics and
help each other with pure heart.
BC: THAT'S WHAT "BIKERS CLUB" is doing
and aiming for with it's bikers club app and
magazine !! Hope to see all of them in our
platform and network !!
NN: I know that and that's very amazing work
you guys are doing, and hopefully 'BIKERS
CLUB' will achieve it soon.
BC: THANK YOU NIRMALI !!
BC: What do you think about professional
racers and stunt riders?
NN: I am not into it at all so can't say much
but that's really a different field. I wish they
consider safety as priority always in their
specified track.
BC: Do you think because of social media,
many people have started riding, just for an
instant fame? Or you really think riding
motorcycles is becoming a passion
nowadays?
NN: Yes it's true. The real riding is fading now,
everyone is in competition for name and fame.
we have more posers that real riders. I follow
many overseas riders who doesn't have much
followers but you can learn many things from
them. They are not into fame but on exploring
places and travelling.
BC: We have noticed that there are bikers who
are very famous in social media with less
riders whereas, there are many others who
have roamed entire world on motorcycle but
nobody knows them, what do you have to say
about this scenario?
NN: That's where the real quality is. The
people who really travel are more humble.
These likes, subscribers on social media
doesn't matter to them and they are least
bother about it, but to them travel stories &
memories which they create for themselves
matters a lot. I met many riders and travellers
like this, and I am following and learning from
them who are not riding for any awards,
records or fame but for themselves.
BC: What you have to say about wanna-be
riders? Have you come across any?
NN: Yes, I meet many riders who want
guidance and tips and I happily encourage
BIKERS CLUB ® | MAGAZINE | PAGE 16
them to be determined to fulfil their
dreams in a positive way. If they are
really passionate about it then they will
going to achieve it.
BC: What's the difference between a
real rider and a wanna-be rider?
NN: Real riders are determined and they
know what they want to do. and if
someone wants to be a rider and travel
then we should encourage them. Rest is
upon them, how they make it? It's all
about your passion and determination.
We should guide them in a positive way.
BC: What's the difference between a
real rider and a commuter, as they both
ride motorcycles?
NN: Commuter knows his / her
destination, whereas, a real rider
doesn't bother about the destination. He
loves the road and his rides and keeps
on moving. He / She does not feel
stranger wherever he / she goes.
BC: Do you own or have any riding
club? If yes then tell us about it, when
and how it started? Or are you a part of
any riding clubs?
NN: I belong to BikePack Traveller
which consists of only two riders who
loves to travel solo and now riding
together.

travellers who wander around with

BC: What do you have to say about
riding club politics?
NN: I am far away from it.
BC: What you have to say about a very
famous term amongst the bikers, which is
'Bikers Brotherhood / Sisterhood?' Do
you believe in it?
NN: Yes, brotherhood exists. I have so
many friends all over the world. If they
knows that I am coming to their places,
they invite me to their home and treat me
as their family member. When I met with
the accident and I was in Vadodara for my
operation, so many riders came to meet
me, they brought food for me, they
donated blood without knowing me. This
is brotherhood only ! Negative things are
there but I better focus on positive things.
BC: That's really amazing !!!
