I am 61 and have started learning riding secretly without getting noticed by anyone in my family. I want to do a Leh-Ladakh trip at the earliest. After watching this vedio, I am doubly inspired to go for my dream ride. Mr Acharya, you are a great inspiration for people like me.
Best of luck 🤞
I am also into60th year and started riding in 2021. I had three rides in 2021 n 6 in 2023 with my wife who is 54, as pillion
All the power to you @krishnabattula7225 !!
Congratulations sir 🎉
What is going on with all u oldies? why now why not 20 years back?
I am nearing 40 and am getting depressed a lot as I lost a lot of money in business. I lost my life's saving. I felt I had been pushed back some 20 years. I was feeling down as I felt I had lost my savings when almost I was past half my life. I had been a biker all through my life. So I diverted my attention to it and am going on some long rides within Tamilnadu. But, I was feeling anxious about it too as I am of the opnion that life is almost coming to a conclusion as soon as I had hit 40. But this man had proved me otherwise. Now I know, I have the time. I have already planned a trip in the next 3 days. Now, I will do the trip not with anxiousness, but with pure enjoyment. I have a lot of my life ahead. I have time. Life is not over. I will earn, save and ride and live.
Have faith my friend wheel will turn for sure and life becomes better.
Motorcycling is just not a hobby but it is true experience of life on road. It gives lessons of life and you will get to learn a lot.
Trust me you are not alone who lost all in business, me too. Take life as it comes and live everyday because it is worth.
Just leave your depression behind buddy and ride...there is no better medicine.. money can be earned again but moments won't return.. create some 👍
Get on the road, life will change
We really should inspire, motivate and encourage each other at this stage of life. Such a gift !
Dude, I'm 47 years old and was in garment business for 18 years. I quit the business right before the COVID pandemic as I had gone through a lot of financial problems in the last 5 years of the business. Though I'm still not recovered from my debts and bank loan, after sitting doing nothing at home, I somehow managed to start traveling a lot. And I even started a UA-cam channel in 2021which got stuck in the beginning itself due to the 2nd lockdown and financial problems. Desperate to get some peace of mind I started traveling but this time ALONE on my scooter. Eventually I was able to revive my channel and I am riding solo a lot since last may. Just came back yesterday from a 2 day ride. Last week I did a 5 day solo ride of 872 kilometres which is quite an achievement for me🤣 as I have never gone such distances ever in my life on a motorcycle (My brother's BMW 310 GS) . Bikes especially Sports super bikes ..... I'm so passionate about bikes and riding. So try to ride as much as possible. You are just about 40. Long way to go. 😍 Face every hurdles in life. Nothing will last forever. If you are in a bad phase now, then it's not gonna last forever and you will be alright soon. So let's face it and do what you love the most. Trust me, For an uphill there's a downhill. Believe in it.All the best .... from KERALA 🙏👍
❤
My self 59+
Riding for past 43 years
Lots to see , places to go. Your vlog just gave me HOPE... so it's not over yet. Thanks
More power to you. Enjoy your journey. :)
U guys r inspiration 🎉
I am 40 and broke my left knee in an accident, and never touched the bike after accident ..this Man has inspired me and let's start again, let's ride.❤
Lovely. Thats so awesome to hear it. Take care and happy riding. :)
Now that im 38 i thought life is just finished, im a biker, i wanted to give up my dream of riding from bangalore to kardung la on a bike , after watching the video you have inspired me there is more to life than what i thought it is. You are a true inspiration to every young bikers. Thank you i am not gonna give up on this dream. I will do it .Thank you pops
Thank you. Just go ahead and restart. There will be no looking back. All the best. :)
Gv hats off and I am glad I had the pleasure to ride with you during FSMC days. You are a super hero 👏👏
Thank you! :) Will convey this to GV.
Age is just a number . All of us deserve to enjoy life 🙏🙏🙏
Indeed. Thank you! :)
Oh I’m a fan on Pops. I’ve been following him on IG for a couple of years. He’s funny and I like his orange gamcha (towel) he wears around his neck and sometimes ties to his waist on riding gears. More power to you Vasudeva Acharya sir. God bless you with good health and many more riding adventures. Amen.
Thank you.. will tell him about this comment.. yes, that shawl (given by a dear friend) has been his constant companion for all his rides. 😅
Respect ❤ uncle ji 😎✌️ i am 50 and I have doing long rides after 45 in a single day i have done 1030 kms in 13.5 hrs and u r a kind of inspiration,🙏
That's awesome! waiting to hear more about your ride stories. Keep riding and exploring. :)
I’m 49. I ride alone, long distance. I love it more than anything else in the world. Lately, I’ve been wondering how long I can keep this up, and this video is very inspiring, personally.
I am 52 and like solo long bike ride but one doubt is that if bike give any problem then whats the options are there as solo rider?
@@rohi.v3873 I always keep my bike in top shape. Change the tyres every 12k kms. Change the battery every 3 years. Follow the service manual for replacements of fluids, cables. Till now, in 60k kms you get the last 5 years, I haven’t had a single problem. Not even a puncture. Also, I ride a bike that I can afford to completely leave behind if there’s a problem. Flashy bikes are more likely to be stolen.
@@rohi.v3873 Generally bikes are a lot more reliable if maintained and serviced properly prior to riding long.
@@rohi.v3873 I had the same question. Getting answers watching this young lady doing it around the world to extreme corners & dangerous regions: @ItchyBoots ua-cam.com/channels/EIs9nkveW9WmYtsOcJBwTg.html
@@rohi.v3873with problems n mistakes we will find a way
great achievement. i am 59 years old with asthama i visited 22= states in various vehicles
Lovely sir! That’s great and very inspiring to hear.
I’m 50 and a member of one of the motorcycle clubs GV is a member of..
He’s a true inspiration for me as well as several riders..
GV and I had a breakfast ride a couple of years ago. Even though I gave an impression that it was a ‘cool ride’, I must admit I found it really hard to catch up with him through out the ride 😄
It is my friend with kawasaki?
@@vasudevaacharya1288 Yes sir ! It’s me - Sathish
Hats off to you sir. U are an inspiration abundantly to all senior citizens.
Thank you! Will convey this to GV. :)
Hats off, this shall bring lot of hope to other aged riders.
He proved their is life after 60.
Thank you! :)
THE Man is a TANK.
He is an inspiration to us all
He is the living proof of the saying IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START
Thank you. Will convey this to GV. Indeed, he is a perfect example of mind over body. What the mind wills, the body obliges.
Sir, you are an inspiration! I am 62... exactly where you were when you started your long rides...And I plan to start my long rides soon...
🙏
Just start anywhere. Dont worry about distances. Just get started and you will go as much as you want.
No words....I am 33 and started long distance riding two years back..but i must say you are inspiration for all of us ..Stay blessed
Thank you. 😊 and All the best
@@satvikshahapur Thank you sir
If this could be defined in words it would be : Age is Just a number, when u have pure passion to do something every bit of universe supports you.
Thank you so much. 😊
नमस्ते , आपको देखने के बाद जिंदगी के प्रति खुद का नजरिया ही चेंज हो गया .... धन्यबाद , आप हमेसा ऐसे ही यंग रहें .
Thank you! :)
Big fan of you Pops! As someone in the early 30’s now, I started doing long rides in my 20’s. I no longer feel the same. I was looking for inspiration to keep myself motivated. Here you are! I wish you a good health, not just in physical being but in every aspect of your being.
Thank you so much. 😊 start riding. And share your adventures with us too.
Riding has kept my spirits up. Started at 57 after a serious illness. My left ankle has limited movement, so my gait is off. But I persisted in getting my license to ride. Now, at 71, I limit my riding to local trips: my dream is an overseas riding trip in an interesting country like Spain, Portugal or India. But the clock is ticking !!!
That is so great to hear. I am sure, you will work towards your dream ride. All the best for that. :)
Keep the spirit, do some yoga , good for this age and flexibility need for biking
What an amazing spirit GV. A must watch vlog by everyone between the age 15 and 75... where else one would get such candid philosophy of life.
Thank you! :)
Riding is ageless .Moreover, it slows ageing. I am 42 and started riding a month ago.Nothing can beat the feeling of lonewolf on bike .
Indeed. Keep riding, keep enjoying.
This is so inspiring... very few videos that I have shared with my parents and my kids at the same time..!!
I was in two minds to start my ride from Ooty to Chandigarh..but now I am ready..🙏
Wonderful! Do let me know how it went. :)
What an inspiration GV!! What a man!! what a legend!!
Thank you! :)
Very much inspiring. Kudos!!
Thank you! :)
Really inspiring sir
Great to see youngest Rider ( rightly said age is just a number its your mind who can decide whether u are old or young)
Kudos to sir 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏
Thanks a ton
What an amazing series! 👏👏👏 Mr. Acharya is so so so incredible and inspirational 🙌 What a mind blowing journey and records and doesn't end here... had stroke without even knowing or making big fuss about it. Congratulations to Mr. Acharya and Satvik for creating this. My best wishes! I am looking forward to the next one already
Thank you so much for this kind comment Kirti. I will convey this to GV too. :)
Very inspiring, I want to try at least a bit of what GV has done! So loved the fact he not only rode but with his family, wow, what a blessed person to have similar interests in family!
Thank you! :)
Thanks Satvik for bringing story up
Felt bliss
Thank you for the kind words. It was a great time for me as well, documenting this tale of grit and perseverance. :)
I am 80+ and still ridding, so 60 is no big deal.
That is lovely. More power to you to ride and explore as many places as you want to. :)
I love this man ❤❤❤ Uncle you've always been an inspiration and shall always be. So much to learn from you and I am glad Satvik is making this series.
Satvik - Beautifully done. Love everything about the video. I had goosebumps listening to uncle and watching him
Thank you so much Deepthi. :) your shawl has been a constant companion of uncle’s through out all his rides and he always mentions this fact. 😊
Brilliant video, brilliant person. So inspiring. I hope to meet one day just to listen to the stories. Thank you for the inspiration - sir!
Glad you liked it. Thank you! :)
Just awesome.. Nothing more can be said.
Thanks you.
Osam sir ✌️✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Sir love From West Bengal Ghatal Duspur❤❤❤ I am 36 Year old After 400 -500 Km riding very Tuff For Me Sir...
Keep riding. Enjoy the journey, dont worry about distance.
THANK YOU Mr. Acharya!
Most welcome!
Super sir
Age is just a number.
Thank you. Indeed it is.
I took up riding late in life, at age 50. My wife reluctantly agreed after extracting a few safety-related promises, for instance, that I won't ride a high-power sports bike. So I started with a very modest 300cc Kawasaki model with upright cruiser-like ergonomics, which is equally suited for city commutes as well as longer rides including off-roading on unpaved roads. Even the salesman advised me to go for a 500cc or 650cc as he said they have "more presence on the road" - But I'm happy to take my time (literally on the road, as well as the journey of my evolution as a biker) at my own pace. So far the longest off-city ride I've done is no more than a couple of hours, so this man GV's story gives me inspiration to build my skills & stamina for a cross-country tour, such as the Himalayas. Thanks, Sir.
Thank you so much. 😊 waiting to hear about your ride stories too. Enjoy the ride and good choice about keeping safety first.
M 35 in sept i bought an interceptor, last year i deliberately took tranfer to kangra, only to ride in mountains.. feeling good to seeing him.
I too have an inti and a himalayan. Am 59 and retired. Went to himalyas 3 times last year... Age is only a number.
Seeing acharyaji riding an interceptor is inspiring
Thank you so much. 😊
You really inspired me and gave me the boost I needed the most. If time permits, I would love to meet you in person to take your blessings for rest of my journey! Thank you sir.
Thank you! :) Lets hope our paths cross somewhere.
Hats off.... That's the way to go. 👍
Thank you! :)
I am speechles yaaar🤐......Its true inspiration for us 💯....Never Give Up....🥰🥰
Thank you! :)
It’s very nice what he did and indeed doing. In other parts of the world it’s a hobby for people above 55-60 and normal because they don’t see 60 as old as we see in India.
You said it right. Time for us also to start looking at life from a fresh pair of eyes.
Wonderfull. It's an inspiration, I hope to join you guys some day in future for the ride.
Thank you! :)
Good One
Thank you! :)
Best wishes to the happy riding family 🏍
Thank you! :)
Salute. May god bless everyone with such a wonderful, supporting daughter and son-in-law. Keep it up guys.
Thank you so much
I'm 50 and I have started to realize just how short life is for all the things you wanna do. Fully intend to retire from my lifelong career in advertising at 56 and with the free time I will have by then, I want to attempt 3 things - a postgraduate degree, riding across the continent and setting up my own business. After thinking about it, even those seem too much to have going on during retirement so I started my postgraduate now to make space in my life for the big rides and the business.... god willing!!
Nothing to stop you. All the best.. May you emerge victorious. 😊
I found this video in my recommendations, and I feel blessed to find this video. Satvik bhai, thanks a million for bringing up this story to the world. I love bike ridings and have done Bangalore to Kedarnath in Oct-2022, on my another channel named, @CatchyBoots. I, however, have done few rides and if time allows will keep riding. I would like to meet GV Acharya sir and take his blessings. Please let me know if this is possible to meet you guys! thank you so much again for bringing up this story, really inspiring. Respect!
Thank you bhai for the kind words. Do message me. We stay in blore. So why not! 😊
I have a relative who is about 65 or thereabout and he does multi-state rides, including the Himalayas regularly.
Thats lovely to hear. More power to him.
Sir you are an inspiration for many me and my wife are passionate about bike ride 😊
Glad to hear that. Thank you! :)

Kudla dhaaar...❤
Yes, kudlada aanu!
Me too, I too look forward riding to Ladak, I'm 54 but could I do with my lyn health, I can't say, I doubt.
Do consult family and doctors. Slowly build up your health and strength. When you feel ready and everybody around you is also confident, do give it a shot.
Otherwise you can ride anywhere closer home too. Its all about being on the bike and taking that journey. :)
Aaj inke paas syad sab kuch hai but wo age aur energy nahi rahi jise wapas kabhi nahi paya ja sakta cahe kitna bhi paisa kyu na ho.. Aur aaj hamare youth kahte hai ki hamare paas ye nahi hai wo nahi hai sayad unke paas jo hai uski kadar nahi hai
I just turned 50 and i would like to go around india on a bike. Any middle age groups available? Or any one interested then let me know. I stay either in Chennai or hyderabad.
I am 60 and riding. I live in Chandigarh. Next summer we can plan Zanskar
Super uncle
Thats great to hear. I am not aware of any such group but why do you need age specific group? Any group which likes riding should work just fine right?
Nice. Zanskar is really beautiful indeed. What Leh was 15-20 years ago.
I'm 40 and want to do the same! In Chennai.
Great
Supper sir👍👍👍👌😊🌹❤️
Thank you.
Super like. I am sure your zeal and outlook of life will give inspiration to many including myself. I am 53+. All the best.
All the best! Thank you so much. 😊
You've inspired all the generation 🎉❤
Thank you so much. 😊
Super sir
Thank you..
I had the pleasure to ride with him while with other riders while in Bangalore.
Ohh that’s great to hear. Which ride was it?
I have a friend who is 75 years old and has driven two triumph motorcycles on which he has driven one lakh eighty thousand km over the last 4 years
Wow! Do share more about him. What an adventure he must be having.
I'm 44 n few days ago I realized soon I will be 50.
I decided after 50 I would find reason not to ride because of age and riding bike all india has been a dream.
The last bike and last time i rode is a samurai which was 20 years ago, I realized enough of waiting, decided and booked Himalayan 450 in December. Just waiting for the bike delivery.
Once I receive the bike I planned to start riding bike throughout India
Wow! Thats so cool. Waiting to hear about your adventures on the new bike. 😊
Love from karnataka❤❤❤❤
Namaskara. Thank you. :)
GV saab, youre a legend.
Thank you so much. 😊
Amazing Sir keep it up
Thank you so much. 😊
god bless
Thank you! :)
I am 56 and I also completed South India solo bike trip two times on Hero Super Splendor.
