AND another awesome ride is done and dusted. I love motorcycling for many reasons. One of them is the respite that it brings me by freeing me from the shackles of the usual day-to-day life. But more importantly, whenever I can manage to do so, all I have to do is to pick up my bike and just ride. This was also that with just a small twist. This time I was riding for xBhp as a #CEATxPlorer and with that, also getting to review the CEAT Zoom RAD X1 tyres. My motorcycle: Bajaj Dominar 400. My destination(s): the best of Konkan. So let’s start!
This is the second time that I am taking up a ride for xBhp. The first one was in the #LifeBeginsAt250Project. But that was on a Svartpilen 250. So when I got invited by xBhp and CEAT to be a #CEATxPlorer and test the CEAT Zoom Rad X1 tyres, I thought to myself that I’ll finally get a chance to take out my Dominar 400 for a ride since the tyres were compatible with it. It gets difficult to take out the time to ride my Dominar due to my office routine so I jump at opportunities like this.
I chose to ride and explore Konkan because the landscape is simply mesmerizing and mystifying. But in addition to being that, my ride was also full of adventure. Why? Give it a try and watch the unending Ghats disappear in the mist, look at the deep valleys that create a scene of what I call beautiful chaos and let yourself get lost as the lack of network in some areas makes Google Maps betray you. Despite wandering the same piece of tarmac quite a few times due to waywardness, it was still a beautiful ride which I’ll take you through.
