Timeless Classic - Ep 06 - Riders stories - Part 4

In this #TimelessClassic episode of the Ride Pure podcast, Akash Maithal speaks with three more Indian Classic riders, Col Sohan Roy, Vanaja Jadhav and Robin Abraham. An Indian Army Veteran, Col Sohan Roy was one of the first people to buy a Classic 500 when it was launched. Almost two decades after his retirement, he continues to be a passionate rider. In his own words, ‘You don't stop biking as you age; you start aging when you stop biking.’ He has travelled far and wide across India on his teal green Classic 500, which he affectionately calls Wizard. Fondly known as the 'Grand old man of Indian motorcycling', Col. Roy is passionate about many social causes and is the founder of 'Save the Girl Child Initiative'. Vanaja Jadhav is an artist and creative media professional who made two very bold decisions. The first was to quit her job and start a food truck dishing out yummy eats in the commercial hub of Mumbai and the second was to buy a Royal Enfield Classic, even though she didn’t know how to ride. She quickly learned and, having discovered the joys of two-wheeled exploration, now regularly tours the Indian countryside with friends. A BPO professional from Navi Mumbai, Robin Abraham has been an avid biker for as long as he can remember. In acknowledgement of his signature long beard, Rob calls his well-known social media account Beardo Rob! He says his motorcycle, which he has named Classic Optimus after the Transformers character, is his favourite partner on the highways and byways of India.
