Malkiat Singh Hoonjan is the road captain and a mentor with the Legendary Sikh Riders of Canada, a unique motorcycling club in the world. Their flaming kesri turbans and long flowing beards make them stand out as they establish the pride of their Sikh identity amongst other formidable motorcycling icons in the west. Whether it's mechanised heavy machinery, fabricating a palki for the Gurughar or working with vulnerable youth, he's a workhorse and does it as part of his sewa.

Motorcycling has always attracted the contrarian like a moth to the flame. Independent and sometimes revolutionary ideologues like Che Guevara have used it as a vehicle to test their idea on wheels. One would have to be blind to ignore that we too now live in challenged times where around the world democracy seems to be squeezed into an ever narrowing bandwidth where citizens are increasingly getting seduced with a self-righteous deep-rooted sense of inherited injustices with forceful narratives rendering even the media benign. We asked Gul Panag if it was the sense of apathy with the polity or was it youthful adrenaline that ever so mainlines our emotions growing up, that made Gul throw in her hat into the political ring? And then there's a bunch of questions about her marriage on wheels, the pilot in her heart and Magucho where she now also wearing the entreprenuer's hat.

Shardul shot into fame when he nonchalantly walked into the Red Bull Romaniacs, what can be considered as the toughest motorcycle race known to boyhood and into the category that’s reserved for none lesser than warriors – THE IRON CLASS. That’s the class where adrenaline becomes haemoglobin. If you win, you are Thor. If you complete the race, you are man. Shardul is the first boy from India to complete the race and that’s the nut he wears in his helmet. Below his soft spoken demeanor flows liquid lava, its energy tamable only by a power that is equally raging. Meet fear, vulnerability, threat, challenge and insecurity. That’s what he thrives on. That’s his automatic trigger, he hates them. No task is unsurmountable, bring it on and therefore I am.That in a crank case is Shardul Sharma aka Shas.

The Carberry is a 1000cc British V Twin designed in its days by Paul Carberry and Ian Drysdale, coupling two 500 cc Royal Enfield engines with a custom built crank and mounted to a Royal Enfield frame. A firestarter of a motorcycle, this rocket is being built to comply with BS6 norms in India by Dream Engine Manufacturers a pet project of Jaspreet Singh Bhatia, a greenhorn but with the 'junoon' that is the leitmotif of the 'never say die' biker. The IBW is a Kumbh Mela of motorcyling in this country and surprisingly, that's where BRR found him, as a true brother in arms. Time will tell what comes of this litre class project but the comitment to kick the can along the road against all odds is a story Biker Radio Rodcast has been dying to tell. All ears ?

Life’s battles don’t always go to the faster or stronger man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks, he can. This is the story of faith, of friendship, the highs and the abysmal lows. It is about looking at fact in the eye and learning to live with it. It is the story of the coming of age. The Long Way Home story with Gursaurabh Singh is carried forward from our 85th episode and culminates at this emotional 86th milestone even as the road beckons. We’ve got the story; do you have the time?

Chefs who are bankers who are foodies who are bikers ! The new face(s) of 'food for thunk' on the Indian horizon, we dig in with The Big Forkers duo of Shashank Jayakumar and Sid Mewara; fan boys of Anthony Bourdain's culinary ecapades who now have a TV show of their own on Discovery dropping Sep 11th 2023 called I should have STAYED HOME.

Picking up from where we left it on episode 81, Maral Yazarloo is accomplished rider, world traveler, artist, business owner, animal lover, tattoo lover, a hopeless jewel junkie, beyond cure unless we’re talking manicure. Maral Yazarloo is a fashion designer and the owner of the House of Maral Yazarloo brand. She’s a wife a mother and a strong and opinionated woman, who always demands more from herself, And so she decided to go around the world on a motorcycle to all the continents barring the Arctic, leaving behind a successful career in retail and instead taking 18 months to make a therapeutic ride, soul searching, healing before finally acknowledging love and onwards to motherhood. In pursuit of happiness...

A 'Bonafide Saint' albeit charged a sinner, Wg. Cdr. Retd.  Koka Rahul Rao is a son, a husband and a father. He's been a fighter pilot, a racer, a national level rallyist, a navigator, a mechanic, a dog lover, a farmer, a golfer, a chef and a bonsai specialist. Tall, dark and handsome, it would be unfair to fault him for his affinity for wine, women and song;  we bring to you the charmer who's re discovered motorcycling in his late 60s. This is also the story of a soldier’s run in with the state as he battles to protect his name and stature from being sullied as he prays for justice to be done. Freedom, a liberty extra special for a motorcyclist, becomes perhaps even more prized in the face of captivity. In Koka Rao's rediscovery of motorcycling, he has found a sanctuary, letting the road provide the much needed path for the journey inwards. #KTM390adventure #adventure #touring #advtouring #motorcycles #motorcyclling #IndianAirForce #biker #rider #bikersofinstagram

Yari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagi... Friendships have defined the life of Bobbee Singh. He's valued each relationship and each of those relationships has helped Bobbee as he's made his way through his troubled years almost to a point of a self correcting being. Learning from every loss and building on them until he makes a success of it. The trilogy with Bobbee Singh of Old Delhi Motorcycles has been a first for us spanning across three episodes. A big thank you to Veeru Lamba, Vaibhav Nijowne, Bobby Chhaggar, Noreen Van Holstein, Priyanshu Chatterjee and Akbar Khan for your help and Joshua John for sharing the mutton keema...onkaur ;) It will not be incorrect to say that we've not had the most fun we've had in the last 4 years putting these episodes together. This one holds the nectar (if you're seeking it). Our advise is, get yourself a pair of headphones, get some solitude, kick back and #ListenConnectRideOn #chai #dogs #motorcycles #restoration #vintage #sidecar #revival #biker #restorer #cohen #bukowski #bobdylan #neebkaroribaba
