Atharva Thorat

I grew up around machines and motorcycles. My father is a mechanical engineer, so am I. He owns an automobile accessories and parts business back home so I have had access to some truly weird and tricked out machines for a long long time. 

My father is an active rider. Touring and active track riding are thrills for us both. I like street riding, but it is the track that truly delivers the thrills for me. Such joys must be shared, so over time, I moved into recording my rides and sharing it with the universe. For me, shared joys also come from community rides, of which I organise a few. 

My career is built on being a reliable friend, kind of like the perfect bike and rider combo: a little bit of guidance, a little bit of fun. I am all about keeping things light, building strong relationships, and always aiming for the next big win, whether that’s at work or on the roads.
