Description
Gautham, the motorcycle storyteller who rode 111 days across India on a second-hand Himalayan, talks about solo travel, filming on the road and what drives him. In this What Drives Me episode from India Bike Week, he goes back to the start: learning on a Bajaj CT 100 for ₹300 an hour, getting a KTM 390 Duke as his first motorcycle and the 2019 ride from Trivandrum through 24 states and Nepal at 26, including the phone call from his mother asking him to come home.
He explains why you should not look for content, because content comes to you, and tells the story of crying while riding alongside flamingos in Kutch. He also covers the cameras he carries on his Himalayan 450, why he never counts kilometres, why solo riding suits him, the hardest part of life on the road, and why the people he meets drive him.
