Bike Trac, the leading motorcycle tracking device from UK
based Road Angel Group, will be supporting an India Book of Records attempt by Sushanth
Shetty sets out to ride his Suzuki Hayabusa from the UK on October 25, 2014 to
India in the quickest overland time possible.
Sushanth, who lives in London but retains his Indian
citizenship, will ride his Hayabusa initially through Europe to Turkey and then
Iran, before hopefully heading into Pakistan if his visa application is
accepted in time, or Dubai instead before arriving in India.
His ride will take 15 days and his challenge dubbed the East
India Express will travel through some difficult areas and accommodation
provided every step of the way thanks to the unique Couch Surfing website and
community.
Sushanth, who is no stranger to travel in Europe and Asia,
commented that this trip is really an itch he wanted to scratch for a very long
time. “While I like to travel, I'm not the type to go off for 12 months and
find myself, I prefer my adventures at a faster pace. While I can't wait to get
started, there are some sections of the journey that I'm a little apprehensive
about. The crucial element is getting into Pakistan, but then when I do it's
likely that I will need to travel the country under police escort. Of course if
I don't get my visa approved, it's Dubai and a boat or two. It will be
adventure whatever way fate rolls the dice," he said.
Sushanth will be using the popular Couch Surfing website
community for his accommodation, that effectively allows members to contact
other members in cities they are visiting and stay in their house, flat or
apartment.
For just £299.99 inc VAT (Rs 29,430 approx.) a Bike Trac
unit really can offer an owner complete peace of mind. But unlike other units
available, Bike Trac also offers handy additional functions too, so it's not
just a security device that works if the unthinkable happens. Bike Trac offers
a handy 24/7 web portal where owners can log-in to see the exact whereabouts of
their bike, check its battery voltage, review recent journeys and even set
their very own Geo Fence too. On top of this Bike Trac also offers 'Bike Down'
- a great safety feature for lone riders that will notify a next of kin via
text should the bike go over an 68-degree lean angle with the ignition switched
on, said a press release.
