“Ride
for Passion” symbolizes the inborn desire to travel to
new lands and ride into the distant horizons of this wonderful
planet, visit places, meet new people, sample new foods, understand
different cultures etc, all within the confines of a two-wheeler,
the wide open road & the wind in your face. Its indeed true
like somebody once said- So many roads, so little time. But
if you have a dream, believe in it & pursue it - It will
surely happen one day. |

I
have been an avid biker for more than two decades. From the
first time as a toddler I sat on my neighbor, Charles uncle’s
Lambretta scooter in the late sixties to the present day, two-wheelers
of every kind from scooters, roadsters, supersports, full-dress
tourers, sport-tourers, cruisers, dirt-bikes, café racers,
electric bikes, mopeds etc of any brand & make have always
mesmerized me beyond words. As time passed, bikes have become
a major obsession and bike touring is something I love a lot
when not sitting at my office desk. To supplement this, motorcycle
scale model collection is another hobby I have been pursuing
with a side collection of heavy equipment and buses. |

My
wife- A dentist by profession and a homemaker by choice, but
culinary arts is her major hobby & passion. She has always
been fond of reading & traveling to various places &
interacting with different peoples & cultures, which she
believes tremendously opens the mind, heart & thinking in
many positive ways. Although she admires bikes, she has never
been a ‘biker’ in its true sense nor sees herself
riding her own bike someday, but right from her first long trip
as a pillion on my bike, she has taken a special liking for
bike touring as she finds it is in more close contact with your
surroundings & the whole travel experience is more intense
to the senses. Indeed, she plays a big role behind the scenes
on each trip from the planning to execution and ofcourse does
all the amateur camera work. |

Our
adorable kids, son Adil & daughter Amal, have been great
admirers of their papa & mama’s global bike adventures!
They let us off the leash once in a while to allow us pursue
our biking interests and they are themselves eager to grow up
soon so they can also individually share the travel experiences
with me on the bike. We love you kids. |

This
introduction would be incomplete without a very special gratitude
from me & Farzana to my family as well as her family for
their continued, whole hearted support & encouragement to
pursue our adventure rides.
