Dont tell my mother

I was never much of a motorcycle rider. Primarily because I was never allowed to ride by my mum. But after coming to OVERDRIVE I have ridden enough bikes and clocked enough riding hours to give my mum a nervous breakdown. My recent stints at the Monsoon Scooter Rally and with scooters up to Khardung La are still unknown to my mother. And I certainly do not intend to tell her about my latest caper either, even if it was a heck of a lot smoother than the others.

To celebrate the launch of its new motorcycles, the SZ and the SZ-X, Yamaha decided to have us ride the bikes the 400 odd km from pink Jaipur to gorgeous Udaipur and then the 120km round trip down curvy roads to Jaisamand Lake. I signed on instantly - I no longer need parents
