Since his road trip, the speedometer and the rider have a different story –
Adithya says, “I wanted to experiment and see how my Aprilia SR 150 would fare on a pan-India road trip. Many well-wishers were concerned about my trip, but the trip was planned to the last detail and Aprilia SR 150 proved to be a strong and faithful riding companion. In the 40 days, I had to service my bike only twice and I faced no puncture or any untoward incident. The Aprilia SR 150 is a powerful and aesthetically appealing bike and in the small town of Zangla, Kargil the locals were impressed to see a 150-cc scooter making through undefined paths (no metaled roads); they had never seen an Aprilia SR 150 before!”
He adds, “This is the first and the longest trip I have undertaken, and it was an amazing experience. Right from starting early in the morning to visiting new places and witnessing new cultures, I have only received warmth and hospitality throughout. This trip has inspired me to embark on more road trips and I hope to undertake an international trip to Bhutan.”
