Wednesday, so it is time to look at a motorcycling destination. Kerala, Southern India.
It's Wednesday, so it is time to look at another motorcycling destination.
This week's destination is Kerala in Southern India.
Why might you choose to take a motorcycle tour in Kerala for several compelling reasons:
Scenic Beauty: Kerala, often called "God's Own Country," offers breathtaking landscapes ranging from the lush Western Ghats to serene backwaters and beaches. Riding through tea plantations in Munnar, tropical forests, or along the coastal roads of Varkala provides an immersive experience of Kerala's natural beauty.
Adventure and Freedom: A motorcycle tour gives the traveller a sense of freedom, allowing them to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations at their own pace. Kerala's diverse terrain — from winding hill roads to coastal routes — makes it an exciting destination for bikers seeking adventure.
Diverse Cultural Experiences: Kerala is rich in culture and traditions, including classical dance forms like Kathakali, traditional Ayurvedic wellness practices, and unique festivals like Onam. A motorcycle tour allows riders to stop and experience local culture, cuisine, and traditions up close in various towns and villages.
Weather: Kerala’s tropical climate is conducive for year-round travel, especially during the cooler months (October to February). These months offer perfect weather for motorcycling without the oppressive heat found in other parts of India.
Charming Hill Stations: Areas like Munnar and Wayanad are filled with picturesque landscapes, offering an adventurous and relaxing ride. The winding roads through these high-altitude regions are great for those who enjoy thrilling yet scenic rides.
Coastal Routes and Backwaters: Many travellers find the experiences of riding along Kerala’s coastal roads, visiting places like Alleppey or Kochi, and cruising through the tranquil backwaters by boat enriching. The unique blend of water bodies and land is a visual treat for bikers.
Wildlife and Nature: Kerala is home to national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, like Periyar and Silent Valley, where motorcyclists can stop and explore nature trails or even take guided wildlife safaris.
A motorcycle tour in Kerala offers a unique and rewarding travel experience by blending adventure, relaxation, cultural richness, and natural beauty. Motorcycle tours allow spontaneous stops at local eateries to try authentic dishes like appam, fish curry, or the famous Kerala sadhya served on a banana leaf.
In essence, a motorcycle tour in Kerala offers a unique and rewarding travel experience by blending adventure, relaxation, cultural richness, and natural beauty.
We look forward to having you ride in Kerala.

Remember to wear the right gear when you ride.
Remember to wear the right gear when you ride.
As the weather warms up, we’re all itching to hop back on our bikes and feel that familiar rush of the open road. But lately, I've noticed an uptick in fatal accidents—a hard reminder that safety needs to stay at the forefront of our minds whenever we’re out there riding.
Sure, motorcycling is about freedom and adventure, but it also comes with real risks that demand our full focus. Safety isn’t just a buzzword—it’s essential. Gear up right, stay sharp, and follow traffic rules.
Another big one: ride within your skill set and pick a bike that matches your experience. Pushing beyond your limits or choosing a bike that’s more than you can handle doesn’t just take the fun out of riding; it makes things dangerous. Be honest with yourself about your capabilities. When you choose a bike that’s a true fit, you’re setting yourself up for a better, safer ride. Skip the flash and peer pressure—comfort and control are what matter most. A rider who’s confident and skilled is a rider who stays safe.
Keeping an eye on the road and anticipating others’ moves can make a huge difference. As we prep for riding season, let’s double down on being responsible out there. Check your bike, brush up on your skills, and always ride defensively. If we each do our part, we can enjoy every mile while keeping ourselves and others safe on the road.
Tuesday, and we answer questions posed.
It's Tuesday, and we answer questions posed.
Today's what to buy when you plan to start riding in Australia.
When starting out with a motorcycle in Australia, the best choice depends on your riding goals, experience level, and preferences. Here's a breakdown of things to consider and a few bike suggestions:
Key Factors to Consider:
Comfort: For longer rides or touring, a comfortable seat, good riding posture, and smooth handling are essential. Consider the kind of roads you'll be riding (city, off-road, highways).
Weight and Handling: As a beginner, lighter bikes are easier to handle, especially in low-speed situations like city traffic or parking lots.
Type of Riding: Are you planning on sticking primarily to paved roads, or do you want to venture onto dirt trails? Your choice of bike will differ depending on whether you're more into road touring or dual-sport adventures.
Bike Recommendations:
1. Yamaha MT-03
Type: Naked / Standard
Engine: 321cc parallel-twin
Why: Lightweight, easy to handle, and fun for commuting and weekend rides. It's a LAMS-approved bike, with a forgiving powerband and suitable for beginners but still exciting for more experienced riders. Plus, Yamaha is known for reliability.
2. Kawasaki Ninja 400
Type: Sport / Road
Engine: 399cc parallel-twin
Why: Slightly sportier riding position, but still comfortable enough for daily use. It’s a great starter bike with a smooth and powerful engine, suitable for city and highway use.
3. Honda CB500X
Type: Adventure / Touring
Engine: 471cc parallel-twin
Why: This is a solid option for beginners looking to do city and longer-distance touring. It’s slightly heavier than the MT-03 but still manageable for new riders. It's LAMS-approved and great if you're into some off-road adventures.
4. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
Type: Dual-Sport / Adventure
Engine: 450cc single-cylinder
Why: This is a classic if you're looking for a bike to tackle the pavement and dirt. The Himalayan is simple, rugged, and perfect for a mix of off-road and highway cruising. It’s a great companion for exploring Australia’s more remote areas.
5. Royal Enfield Meteor 350
Type: Cruiser
Engine: 349cc single-cylinder
Why: A cruiser style with classic looks and an easygoing ride. It’s comfortable for long-distance trips and has that old-school charm. It's a bit heavier than the sporty options but still manageable and LAMS-approved.
Gear and Safety
Remember to invest in good-quality gear—helmet, gloves, jacket, and boots. A beginner riding course (like the one offered by Stay Upright in Australia) can also give you more confidence before hitting the road.
These motorcycles can grow with you as your skills progress!
We look forward to meeting you on the road.
