This episode features Bharadwaj Dayala, the first Indian to complete a solo motorcycle world tour. In 2006, on a Hero Honda Karizma, he rode through 16 countries and 5 continents—without GPS or social media. His story is a blend of passion, old-school planning, and world-breaking ambition.
Key Moments from the Episode:
Commuter to Global Rider
What started as a local commute became an epic 47,000 km ride. Even manufacturers said the Karizma couldn’t do it—he proved them wrong.
Logistics Before Likes
Without digital maps, Bharadwaj used paper maps, a compass, and handwritten notes. His iron panniers made his bike resemble a pizza delivery machine—but it worked.
Cultural Connections
From Iran’s hospitality to bonding with African-American bikers in Atlanta, Bharadwaj shares how two wheels can bridge nations and challenge stereotypes.
Why Listen?
This episode is a must for adventurers, motorcycle tourers, and entrepreneurs—it’s about doing what seems impossible, and rewriting the rules with every ride.
