The Roaring Ride 2019 was planned flawlessly. I have been a part of many motorcycle trips organized by me and few other friends over the years for our riding club, so I can say with good authority it was beyond expectations for all participants. Even if I had to think of something that I was not satisfied, it would not come to me unless I had to lie.

I was humbled to power the inaugural The Roaring Ride in February 2019 organized by The Holiday Shoppe. A superb initiative to spread awareness on Lion conservation efforts by the Kevin Richardson Foundation and the message to ban canned hunting and cub petting industry prevalent in South Africa. A well-executed, flawlessly planned, superbly maintained BMW GS horses, top quality accommodation and gourmet food experiences, ensured we get an extra-ordinary African wilderness on a motorcycle. The route was one of the best I have done till date and riding in Africa for the first time, The Holiday Shoppe took care of all the possibilities in an unknown region. Kaizad had put together a route that was very scenic and adventurous and the daily riding distances were just appropriate to let us enjoy the beauty of the place.
