Its been a trend for a while to go on a road trip.. Be it a two wheeler or four wheeler... Most of them wanna be a Wanderlust.. Including me..! 😎

Road trips aren't that simple and easy.. But what you are gonna get from it, if that's gonna be so simple and easy like we thought it would be...

I'm more into two wheeler.. So my blogs are gonna be about my experience on my two Wheeler..

Here are few tips for the riders who would like to begin the ride or wanna keep their wanderlust alive. There are experts out there with their jacket on their shoulder.. Boots on their leg and gloves on their hands.. More importantly helmet on their head.. And with even more details on their blogs.. I learned from them. I learned from my rider buddies.. Respect to all of them.. And of course I learned from myself..

These General tips are for the beginners who would like to begin their ride and feel the heat on road..

1) No bike is smaller for a ride as long as you feel comfortable to ride with it. But make sure you have maintained the bike well.

2) Always wear helmet, riding jacket.. Riding gloves.. As well as boots.. I don't think I'll have to explain more on this.

3) please do not get your bike serviced a day or couple of days before, instead get the service done a week prior to ride.. So that you will come to know if there are any faults or miss alignment of parts while riding the bike on normal days a week prior to ride.

4) If the rides are in group.. Believe me or not, you must have a back up rider and if possible it will be good to have a back up bike too.

5) Stay together.. You are not into a race ..I paid for it.. Not exactly me.. There are guys who always got my 6...

6) When you ride, Keep your profile as low as possible... That's where you get to explore more things.. Respect the language and culture.. You are not there to show them you are on a ride.. You are there because you wanted to be there.. Not that they wanted you to be there.

7) it's not about how much water snacks you carry with you on a road trip.. It's about how much you share with ur riders.. I'm lucky, as I got my 6 covered by my buddies as always.

8) No alchohol during ride or even on the night between the rides. .. Don't end your ride by giving a thumbsup to a fellow rider. Instead get together for success party after every ride completion.. Can be a same day or within coupe of days..

9) Finally Road trips are not always meant that reaching the destination... That's a wrong perception according to me.. Riding is just about riding your bike.. It's not about when did you reach your destination.. It's about how did you reach your destination... It's about what took you so long to reach the destination..

This is R@k$h!th.. Signing off for now...

But will be back with more blogs on all my Rides since 2k15..
