RIDER'S PARADISE

Thailand is turning out to be the next biker destination

- VIR NAKAI

It started with a phone call. It's Amit, the Marketing Manager for Ducati India. Before I can finish saying "Hello", he responded, "Vir, while you wait for the Chandigarh RTO to figure out the mess they have created with this EV registration ruling do you want to go and ride the DesertX in North Thailand?" I laughed and said, "What is this question Amit? When do you want me to leave?" Two weeks later I find myself on a late night flight out of Mumbai, helmet in the overhead bin and full riding gear checked into the plane's hold, stretching out on a full row of empty seats heading to Chiang Mai.
