• Indian rider makes a world-record by traveling the 5 highest motorable passes in the world in under 20 hours on his Kinetic Laser!

  Khardungla to Pang on Kinetic Laser
  

  Mr. Ajay Sharma is the world’s first person to traverse all the 5 passes (Khardungla, Warila, Changla. Marsimikla, Tanglangla) (627 kms) in just 19 hours and 30 minutes on his Kinetic LASER, thus entering into the Limca Book of World Record for his exceptional expedition. The details of his expedition is given below:

  Ajay Sharma started his expedition on 27 July 04 at 02.30am from Leh.
  First he went to Khardungla pass, which is the world's second highest pass, and reached there at 03.50 am
  Next he reached Warila pass at 07.05am then headed towards
  Changla pass reaching there at 09.05 am
  After crossing the highest motorable road in the world, Ajay reached Marsimikla pass at 13.50pm (due to unavoidable circumstances, Ajay had to delay his travel). Marsimikla pass was the toughest part of the ride as there is no road for 40 km, only sand and gravel. This pass is hard to conquer alone but he achieved it in any case.
  After taking some picture of world's highest pass Ajay went to Tanglangla pass reached there at 20.15pm
  Finally, he headed towards his last destination, which is Pang at 22.00pm
  
  In total, Ajay Sharma covered a total destination of 627km in 19hours and 30 minutes
  
  Ajay Sharma, an engineer has immense passion for motorbike racing. During this long ride, Ajay never had any breathing problem nor high altitude sickness. According to Ajay, “My bike, Kinetic Laser, has behaved like a true friend who helps in need. My friends call me wind talker but I think I am mountain tamer that is why I am world's first and still the only person who is able to traverse all 5 passes in one day(19.30hr). Kinetic Laser is wonderful bike to ride and has a good combination of power handling and style. I can easily ride 90kph and above in mountains with the Laser.”

  His next trip was to the office of Limca Books of Record in Gurgaon. He informed them that he was interested in going on an expedition from Khardungla to Pang - the world’s highest passes. He also discussed the plan with them. They provided him with a logbook, in which he was asked to record each and every detail, by the minute of his expedition.

  He set off on his expedition on July 27, 2004. He met either an army officer or a police personnel at each pass to authenticate and verify this expedition. When he reached his final destination - the pass called Pang, he had discovered that he covered a distance of 627 km in a record time of nineteen and half hours.

  On his return, he handed over the Logbook with all the details to the authorities of the Limca Books of Record. The authorized personnel from the Limca Books of Record further verified his claim of having covered this distance in a record time with the army officers and police personnel who he had met after crossing every pass.

  He has sent a mail to The Guinness Books of Record informing them about this expedition, but they are yet to revert.

• Delhi to London on a Kinetic

  From battling blizzards to surviving a collision on the autobahn, an adventurous 59-year old former Major General, actually rides his steed, a Kinetic Scooter, westwards for an arduous 9000 km journey from Delhi to London.

  “My aim was to inspire senior citizens and convey to them that age and retirement should not bar the spirit of adventure, and they also could undertake physically permissible adventures as senior citizens,” says Retired Major General RK Jain with a glint in his eyes. Jain was 59-years old then, and had three grandchildren, when he undertook a solo scooter ride across two continents and ten countries from Delhi to London, a decade ago.

  Jain’s remarkable 33-day journey was made on 98 cc Kinetic with no back up or support team. He has an amusing tale to narrate about his choice of the scooter. As he was preparing to set off on his adventure, he approached a number of companies for sponsorship. When the Bajaj Group rejected his request for sponsorship, a friend’s daughter introduced him to the Firodia Group, the manufacturers of Kinetic, who agreed to sponsor his trip. However, in the trial run itself from Delhi to Nepal, Jain met with a terrible accident. He was riding his Kinetic at night, when the high-beam light of an oncoming truck blinded him temporarily. He couldn’t see a big stone lying on the road and collided with it. He was so seriously injured that his knucklebones were visible long after the treatment, and he couldn’t bend his fingers for quite some time. “It was fortunate that Bajaj refused to sponsor me,” said Jain while recounting the accident. “If Bajaj had agreed, I wouldn’t have been able to operate the clutch. The Kinetic doesn’t have a clutch”.
  
  In spite of terrible accident, the ardent adventurer was raring to go just three months later, on October 14,1993, filmstar Rajesh Khanna flagged Jain off from the National Stadium, New Delhi, Jain traveled through India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France and finally reached Great Britain. His trusted scooter ditched him only twice. Once, in the heart of rural Pakistan, when the potholes in the roads which were just too big for the small wheeled Kinetic, forced him to take his scooter on a train for a short distance, and once again in Turkey, when he rode into a blizzard and the heavy snowfall reduced the visibility to zero. He then carried his scooter on a bus. His adventurous journey came to an end in London on November 16, where his daughter Arti, who lives in Glebe Avenue, Harrow, received him.
