Our very own and beloved Dr. Arnob Gupta has made it into the Limca Book of Records once again- this time for being "The fastest on the Golden Quadrilateral (Solo). Saying once again coz he already holds a record for the East-West expedition scaling the two ends of the country on his CBZ way back in 2004.

Here's a snapshot of the record:

PS: The above post is posted by Deepak from Mumbai, I'm just sharing it here.


I say, time to celebrate. :eek:

he he.. but sitting on a vibeRTR is different :P

he has done 5844 kms in less than 5 days!

he must have become Bootstrap Bill in Pirates of the Caribbean.. (I am a part of the bike) :D this feat is next to impossible on indian roads :mad:, wherein you cant afford to take a single second to look off the road while riding..

would love to hear the experiences from the doc himself! :P

besides i believe he is the first one in India to be awarded IBA rider.

The bike does not define you, but the actions you perform while on the bike do.

Thanks fellas.

It's not that terribly difficult, so long as you follow a few guidelines...

  • Try not to fall off the seat - keeping awake helps
  • Avoid coming to overly abrupt halts - 100 to 0 kph in less than a second - bad for health.
  • Use some commonsense (very minute amount actually) in planning out your trip  - trying to do it in winter or monsoon is Ok only if you actually enjoy riding at -5 C thru the fog in the winter, or splashing through potholes of unspecified depth in torrential rain.
  • Use a familiar bike with a comfortable seat and comfortable clothes, not new stuff /bikes just because somebody provided them free (as in big favour) at the last moment.
  • Practise documenting stops before the trip!

This is not a very difficult record to break - a huge amount of time was wasted, anybody planning things efficiently should do it sooner or later. Sooner, I think.
