Chicks on Bikes

So, I hate talking into microphones. Unless I'm being interviewed by these guys about life and motorcycles 😎❤️

Our first International woman rider and a feisty one at that. In Israel, every graduate is duty bound to serve time in the Israeli army and so did she. So you know what we're talking of.... Short of testing her Krav Maga skills, we raked up all that we could to discover a person who's warm, jocular,...

Home sweet home ❤️

Let me sit here for a while before I write you all a summary of the trip 😎

Another adventurous day with the Mistress:

* This oil leak is getting completely out of control and I keep topping up every day. The mechanics didn't want to fix it because apparently it's kind of a big job. They were saying the engine "slipped" probably after some accident. It was leaking a little already when I got it but I figured it was just overflow from putting too much oil.

* When I got Mistress, the battery cover was so rusted that you couldn't even open it. The owner of the bike didn't want to replace it as he didn't want to spend another penny on this bike. So now it fell off.

Only 3 more hours to go! Will the Mistress make it to Rishikesh? 💪🙏😎

One of the things that's always put a giant smile on my face has been seeing Indian women on motorcycles.

Sadly, I've never met any. Until now!!!

It was such an inspiration meeting these girls and hearing their stories. Thanks to you, I now know there are plenty more women our there doing this 💪😎

And then you get to ride a BMW G310 GS...
You can't see how big my smile is inside that helmet 😍

What an absolute pleasure being interviewed by Sunny and Shandy from Biker Radio Rodcast!!!

After 5 minutes of feeling awkward and self conscious with that mic in my face I found myself yapping away about life and motorcycles for three hours!

Thanks guys for a fantastic evening!
Looking forward to seeing the end-result 😎

Alright, true story:

My jaw dislocates on occasion. It's weird I know. Nobody knows why.

Today, while riding the highway to Delhi, I yawned and my jaw dislocated 😮🤬

I rushed to the side of the road, put the bike down, looked around to see if there are any dental clinics around (they know how to pop it back), realized I'm in a sh*t-hole in the middle of nowhere and put my oh-so-dirty motorcycle gloves in my mouth and I popped it back myself. Then I kept riding.

So yeah, feeling pretty good about myself today 😎💪😜

Today's favorite moment:
Guard: Your friend's come.
Friend: Yeah, I know.
Guard: She's not Indian.
Friend: No, she's not.
Guard: She came on a bike...🙄
Friend: Yeah, I know.
Guard: ...Ok...🤔

Alright let's be real...

Day 19: This trip has been exhilarating, mind-blowing, amazing, incredible and I'm still in awe every single day. I feel happy, grateful, excited and even proud to be doing this.

But also....I feel FU***NG tired. And sore. And achy. My back is stiff, my neck is wrecked, my ass ain't happy and it's getting harder and harder to get out of bed at 6:30 AM!

In case any of you thought the life of a motorcyclist is all roses ;)
