CALL: 8822456789

Pranali Pednekar-Narse rode her first motorcycle in 2004. "It was a Splendor," she remembers, "and I used it for local commute." Her love for riding led her to seek a community; that's how she came in contact with the Enfield Riders, a travel company offering guided motorcycle tours. The company's co-founder Poornima Gujral had set up an academy for women who rode pillion, but had expressed a desire to ride on their own. Narse joined them as a coach in 2017.

RECOMMENDED BY: Kavita Goyal says, "After learning to ride it, I took a spin on my friend's bike and they were amazed with my biking skills, and how I could put the 350CC Royal Enfield on a double stand."
