Rebellion is an infliction. Wired to rebel even against one’s self, the only peace one can derive is the proximity to the answer … why rebel?
Bobbee Singh of Old Delhi Motorcycles leads a life that is charged, intense, dramatic yet Spartan. Behind the liveries and the grandeur is a man living in his quiet riot at an ease he has winnowed. He’s an actor with the heart of the fall guy. A charmer with tales taller than flights of fancy, minds can seldom make.
But friendships are one’s true wealth and Bobbee is richer than most of us. While he enjoys the circus he stages around him, every day of his life, he always falls back on his friends who have offered him anchorage, sanctuary and shelter from the sun. Joshua John, an ex-pastor, ride master, artist and consul at large joins in to ring in the platinum milestone celebrations of the Biker Radio Rodcast and host a great friend and a brother in arms. Befitting the legendary Jai and Veeru legacy, we celebrate “Yeh Dosti”

Our platinum episode features rare-earth restorer of vintage Royal Enfields, the one and only Bobbee Singh of Old Delhi Motorcycles. The side car revival man, he is India’s most sought after artist who can breathe new life to ever rare barn finds into motorcycle heirlooms. He stirs up nostalgia, celebrating the days when all good things in life, was for keeps; when metallurgy, design, form and function came together in an alchemy that vouched for life, for love and old school values.
There is a languid charm about Bobbee’s life that borrows heavily from the impermanence around and seemingly, a gypsy blood rush, runs through his disposition with a flair and guile that is his own. Borrowing generously from geography, time and history, his creations are resplendent of grandeur, glory and celebration, choosing flourish over the ordinary yet celebrating the ordinary with a flourish. The paradox, that is Harbinder Singh aka Bobbee is arresting as his L’enfant terrible charm, swirls with the lust for good times gone by. Times that he’d rather recreate than be seduced by soulless nondescript mannequins. He bears the leitmotif of a maverick, an enigma and we’re so proud that he’s our platinum guest of honour on the Biker Radio Rodcast’s 75th episode.

It perhaps all started with the cave paintings. A canvas perhaps of one’s identity. The most prized portrayal of one’s achievements. As time went by the expression found its place as the mantel piece, or the framed photo with a celeb, the Hussain in the living room, but the Yamaha RX 100 in your bedroom?
Parakram Hazarika's is one of the coolest beards on the circuit, he’s a #foodie, a #pogonotrophe (thanks Shashi Tharoor), an ex PR and communications man Friday, a social media marketing specialist, ex customer experience lead at Harley Davidson with the key responsibility of the Harley Owners Group or H.O.G. a vibe he liked so much, he even likes hog in his momos.
Inked, bald and bearded, in the guest seat chatting over a couple of brews is the super affable manager marketing at Suzuki Motorcycle India and biker, Parakram Hazarika on the Long Way Home..
56 Days, 17000 kms, 4 girls, 6 countries across #India, #Bangladesh, #Myanmar, #Laos #Thailand and #Cambodia. Jai Bharthi leads from the front and that is a brutal sport as it takes a combination of thinking on our feet and calculated belligerence to make headway.
There of course is always a price to pay and the scars you carry are for life but the stories your have can tell tales; some about you, some about the road but every one of them a valuable learning experience.
Courtesy of Telangana Tourism, Incredible India, Bajaj Dominar, the good offices of the Dir. General Tourism and a friendly member of parliament, the Jai Bharathi, Piya Bahadur, Shanthi Susan and Shilpa Balakrishnan quartet rode into the history books making themselves and the Bikernis proud.
Jai Bharathi spoke with us in candid detail helping us sequence this challenging and on occasion gruesome tale. On episode 72, JB shares her story of her Road to Mekong…over a cup of tea on the Long Way Home.

Self-actualisation is a hunger, un-famished, self- fueled in perpetuity powering the wheels of a spirit called Jai Bharathi. The name says it all.
#vocalforlocal Biker Radio Rodcast salutes the spirit of a resurgent #India
Would you ride around the #Himalayas for seven and a half weeks, then finish a five day #RaidDeHimalaya successfully and then ride across all the way from #Kashmir, right across India through #Myanmar, #Thailand, #Laos, #Vietnam, #Malaysia, #Singapore and then onwards from #Darwin to #Sydney in Australia? What if your 10 year old child and your wife joined in riding alongside? Some bucket list huh ?

Shutterbug, motor head, architect and biker, armed with a sharp wit, a sharper tongue, never bothering to measure his words; only numbers as a design implementation manager with the luxury hotel trade moving on to real estate before joining GMR’s battle room at the IGI airport in New Delhi. We're back with the concluding episode of Mihir Misra on the 68th episode of the #LongWayHome on the Biker Radio Rodcast.
This episode sees him dig himself deeper into the motorsport ruts, get tired of it and wade into wildlife photography with the tiger, his current muse. He speaks of his cherished association with friends he’s made over the years his hunt behind the scenes for real stories and his keenness for the narrative often marinated in jest and mirth celebrating all of life’s goodness.
Also acknowledging the #CruisingLegends Candida Louis, Ouseph Chacko, Vir Nakai and Harshman Rai for their OTT debut with the #DawnPatrol on @MXPlayer, motoring through #ArunachalPradesh, the Land of the Rising Sun. Wg. Cdr. Rahul Koka Rao from Manali, for contributing a marvelous #MyWay on his #KTM390adventure, Dr. Arun Thareja, on the Biker Radio #Soundboard, battling in the COVID 2 'Chakravyu' with an advisory for preparing for the 2nd wave of the pandemic and finally, Lakhinandan Lahon for a beautiful musical piece combining the RE thump with his flute.
Episode 68 is as groovy as it gets.
