Biking is all about freedom

Embark on a new mission, make your own road and get ready to explore a unique motorcyling experience
It's such a reviving experience to just saddle up and hit the road, burn rubber and add mile upon mile, as you reach for lands few people have been to before. It's what a true biker does, letting the road lead him on to newer adventures or adventures leading to newer roads.


But to enjoy these rides and discover new places you don't just need your Bike and a spirited heart, you also need information. Information on the routes, weather conditions, terrain types, cultural differences, etc. While it is an adventure in itself to discover, an informed ride is always better and safer. And that is the objective of the Navigator. Here you will find information of some of the most enjoyable and adventurous bike routes, all done by riders. Plus some very useful riding tips whichever route you take. We hope this comes in as a handy guide whenever you plan a ride. Happy and safe riding.

Biking is all about freedom.

The freedom to go where you want, when you want, and how you want to. Yet, taking off on a ride without making basic plans can make the entire experience go sour even before you're halfway through. So while luck and fate do play an important part in how much fun your ride turns out to be, a little planning at the outset won't hurt. Here's how we recommend you go about making a ride plan.

This checklist may help:

Step 1 - Decide on how many days you can spare, and then put aside a day (or half a day) for eventualities that might crop up.

Step 2 -  see what places lie within your reach given the number of days you have, and the distance you are comfortable covering.

Step 3 - Make up a route plan with a good, reliable map. And if possible, make up an alternate route to, to take if there are eventualities to cope with.

Step 4 - Plan your night halts. Riding after dark should be avoided wherever possible, and riding through the night is not recommended at all. Check to see if there is decent accommodation available where you plan to spend the night. If you plan to rough it out, then make sure you are carrying basic camping equipment, and avoid sleeping outdoors if you are riding alone.

Step 5 - Make out a rough budget, based on your food (and drink!) habits, your bikes fuel average, number of kilometers you hope to cover totally, and the number of nights you will be staying out. It is better to carry this money in the form of a debit card, and only carry about a third of it in cash.

Step 6 - Get your bike serviced and checked over by a mechanic you trust at least two days before you plan to hit the road. Ride the bike in the city before you set out so if there are any problems, you'll be able to get your mechanic to correct them well before you leave.

Step 7 - Make sure your mobile phone bills are paid, roaming is activated, and you are carrying the addresses and phone numbers of people who need to be contacted in case something goes wrong. Inform relevant people about when you are leaving, where you plan to go, where you plan to stop for the night, and when you plan to return. Also see check with your bank/credit card company if you can use your card in places you are going to, and see that you have adequate available balance in your account.

we have designed the registration membership form keeping this in mind!
