SNOW, SUPERBIKE, AND INDUCED TRACTION

How extreme is riding a BMW S1000RR on snowladen roads? Just as extreme as it sounds. Here's how Jaysn got the job done!

- JASMINDER SINGH

BEING a part of xBhp and all that it has done over the years, we under stand the value of doing something different, something unique, and something that has never been done before. To that end, we have been touring on superbikes since 2006. Hardcore racetrack machines used to explore the length and breadth of our India and beyond; needless to say, it is rather extreme. But you know what is better? The fact that we aren’t alone in trying these crazy things. Crazy things like taking a thoroughbred like the BMW S1000RR for a ride in the snow-laden treachery of Lahaul!

It has been a long time since we took a Suzuki GSX-R1000R to terrains quite similar. Not quite as snowy, but fairly treacherous. This time around, it is Jasminder Singh of JS Films, popularly known as Jaysn Paji in the motorcycling circles. He is a man that needs no introduction. From a web designer to an ace YouTuber and on top of everything, an avid motorcyclist; there isn’t a lot that he has not done when it comes to motorcycling and touring in superbikes. He has explored every nook and cranny of our country on some of the most extreme motorcycles available to man.

In 2017, he rode around India on a Suzuki Hayabusa. In 2018, he covered Nepal, Bhutan, Spiti, Ladakh and many more places on superbikes. He has been a part of all three editions of xBhp’s own #roadTripUnited. So it isn’t a long shot to say that he has a knack for veering off the beaten path. And the best thing about people like him is that they do not stop and they are always on the lookout for the next big adventure. That next big adventure of his is what this story is about.
