[00:00:01] Biker Divas with Rajakta, want to ride. Have you ever ride solo? It's not easy to ride solo, but when you sit on a bike with all the gears and helmet and you start, confidence comes on you. Whether you sit on a bike and reach the ground or not.
[00:00:34] Like all your gossip about which you heard in your first episode. When you are riding, then no other company needs you. Today we will talk about Biker Divas. This is more about MotoVlogging than Biking. India's first MotoVlogger. Do you know what his specialty is? It's more about Journey.
[00:01:01] Because Journey is more important than destination. And when you talk in Bombay style, it looks like you. Even I am a Biker. At first I thought that I should have taken a speedy bike. So I just rode like this, Rider Girl Vishakha
[00:01:22] and sent all my stories to the world through MotoVlogging. India's first female MotoVlogger. Vishakha Phul Sungay. Today's bike is called Biker Divas. People who know Rider Girl Vishakha's name. But she always says that because of Kashiash, I became this person. Kashiash? His bike's name.
[00:01:45] Vishakha and Kashiash made three India Book of Records together. So today's ride with Vishakha, he says Kareso, today's ride, today's ride, now, now, now. And maybe because of this decision, he became India's first female MotoVlogger. So what happened with Vishakha? Because of which he took this decision.
[00:02:12] Let's listen to the next segment. Whose name is Kickstart. Kickstart on Biker Divas. It happened because I was going on rides, and I wasn't paying attention to my job. And the events were also clashed on weekends with rides. Normally, the rides that are there go on Sunday rides.
[00:02:35] But it's a trend. The bike goes out on weekends. So I thought that if I don't earn now, where will the money come from? So I started searching for a job with bikes. So I came to know that there are sales in bikes.
[00:02:52] Or delivery boys are on jobs. So I gave them a bike. The delivery option was good because selling a bike is a bit tough for me. Because I am in the bedroom, I have a bike and someone is facing me. So it wasn't for me.
[00:03:10] Then I searched for something on YouTube. I saw a couple of boys giving reviews of bikes. But they needed practice to reach that level. And extreme knowledge of bikes. Then I came across a video where people were talking on bikes with cameras.
[00:03:29] I said that I have to do this. So I searched for cameras. They call it motor vlogging. Then I didn't know who to use the camera. I knew that they use action cameras. So I collected money and took action cameras. I took the camera at that time.
[00:03:54] I left the ride 4 years ago. I did Mumbai. The whole process is in a post-it route. I reached Goa, I did Kholapur, Satara, Gokarna, Moradeshwara, Mysore, Bangalore, Utti and back. I had to do motor vlogging. That's why I did this ride.
[00:04:16] When I started recording, when I left Mumbai I didn't understand that I am talking to a camera and it is not recording. Then I understood that it looks like a mic. So I wasted my ride. I was recording only with the camera.
[00:04:33] It happens that when you want to do motorbikes you need a laptop and you need a hard drive. I had a car and I had 16 leaps. How would I transfer files? Where would I do this and all? That was my learning ride.
[00:04:49] With this setup, you need a laptop. You need a power bank, you need a transfer file, you need a bike. I got to know a lot about it. When I started the setup, then the first time I did officially motor vlogging was in Laila. Amazing!
[00:05:08] So this person, even though he is like this but he has made 3 records. So do you know about these records? Righta girl Vishakhah. So I have 3 India Book of Records, IBR Records. The first female motor vlogger of India. The second is Solar Girl to travel from Mumbai
[00:05:31] to Andhra Nikkabar Islands on her bike. Till now, no one has ever thought of going there. I told my mom that I should do an excite. My mom told me to do Andhra Nikkabar. She used to go to the kitchen and talk.
[00:05:51] I was like, what are you kidding me? I don't know what she thinks. So when I came out of the kitchen, I told my mom to go to the pool. I told her that I will go there. She said that I will be late. So I said okay.
[00:06:06] I told her that I will go there in 2 days. That is how I got this record. I didn't know that there was no one there. Later I found out that there was no one there. The next record is of Narmada Parikrama.
[00:06:23] The first female to do Narmada Parikrama on her bike. Nobody has done that. Narmada Parikrama was a very challenging ride for me. I am one of the best rides I have done. Vishakhha is an animal lover. Whenever she rides her bike,
[00:06:40] we always stay in her bag for biscuits and stray dogs. Save animals, save earth. She completed her solo ride with this cause. During a solo ride, she risked her life to save a stray dog. We know about this from Rohini Phulsoonga.
[00:07:01] She is the mom of Ride a girl Vishakhha. When she wanted to save a puppy, she was holding a dog from the roadside. She was kissing the puppy. The puppy had met with an accident. The puppy was bleeding from the neck and mouth.
[00:07:31] Vishakhha was pleading her not to do this. But they were not listening. Somebody even said that the puppy is our food today. The police called and no response was received. The NGU called and no response was received. Last day, they were literally pointing the knife at Vishakhha.
[00:07:55] Vishakhha took the puppy from her hand. She ran towards the bike. The puppy quickly wrapped her in the raincoat. The bike was running at such a speed that she saw a light at a distance. She felt that there was a light and she might get help.
[00:08:15] The people were following Vishakhha in the car. When they saw that Vishakhha was getting help, they returned. Vishakhha took help from them. They contacted NGU and came to the police. They took the puppy and saved the puppy. This is the rider girl Vishakhha's mom, Rohini Fulsungi.
[00:08:47] There are some interesting things that you know about in the next segment. In the scrapbook. This segment is very special for me. Because this segment is about Vishakhha and her experiences. Let's start. Who said that girls ride bikes? A random stupid person commented. You can't live without bike.
[00:09:20] You got the best advice so far. Just do whatever you are doing, don't leave motorbiking. Perfect. A bike tip. Learn to connect to your bike and take care of your bike. Always give a bike a name so that in return you take care of it. Inspiration?
[00:09:37] I think now it's myself. Who is the most scared of sitting behind you? My brother. Ok. Tip 2 women bikers. Marry a bike, you will be very happy. So this is Vishakhha Fulsungi. Who wants to know, in the name of Ride a girl Vishakhha. Our today's bike adiva.
[00:10:02] By the way, Ride a girl Vishakhha has done a lot of rides. The question is, are there any roads left? I rode Naramada Parikama. That was my longest solo ride. It was a cause ride of save river, save nation. Biker Diwaki Travel Pays. Naramada is a river.
[00:10:30] I have done production of that bike without crossing the river. So that was a little tough for me because I had to go from the field. And you have to stay close to the river. It's very difficult to ride near the river. You can't touch the highway.
[00:10:46] And on day 1, when I reached Omkari, I started from there. From Mumbai to Omkari. Omkari river was crossed by Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Bharuchkar. Then again, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. I did that. So I had to find a place for stay in Omkari. There were 3 places.
[00:11:09] First was Omkari river. I reached there and they came to know that I should ride a girl. So they refused me. I asked them a lot of questions. Why? What request? It is there on my Instagram and YouTube. I have posted it in this entire clip.
[00:11:24] And he was cheating me in a very bad way. And there were nice hotels there. Reviews were good but I couldn't give them. And the problem was that I could leave. I didn't fight that much. But I had taken out my girls. I parked my bike.
[00:11:39] The saddle of the bike is on my reception. So I had to take out my clothes. I had already rode around 900 km. I was on a stretch. I was getting tired. I used the power of social media. I told them that I would do this and that.
[00:11:59] I gave them my life at that time. I recorded their video. But they didn't give me. I asked them to book online. I said that I have booked online. I don't have money or anything. So this problem was the same. I had to go to 3 places.
[00:12:14] I mean, Parikamarite. This was a very good challenge. Vishakhana handled it very smartly. Whenever you do solo ride, be strong and confident. Without fear, facing the challenge is very important. Solo ride, which teaches you a lot. Whatever it is, you have to do it on your own.
[00:12:38] Vishakhana faced so many challenges. What learning did she get from them? Washroom is very difficult. Especially when you are old, you are getting tired of playing. You are getting tired of playing. These are areas where people have never been there. And neither did people hear the name.
[00:13:02] Washroom was a problem here. I used to go to the park when boys were coming. They would go to the park. They would not be in a hurry. But they would come to me. I had to think for 10 times. Whether to drink water or not.
[00:13:18] The last option was that I would run a bike and a girl. That was my situation. If there was a dry toilet, it would be so dirty. There would be a lot of chances of infection. In normal highways, there is a petrol pump.
[00:13:34] You can go to the mountains and washrooms. It is not seen for girls. It is the toughest thing there is. After exploring so many things, what did Vishakhana get from learning? I have actually figured out who the real Vishakhana is. What does she want in life?
[00:13:56] The best thing is you don't really have to be fake. Just be yourself. People do it in vlogging. They make accents, speak English. I did this too. But as soon as I put my pins on it, I started telling the audience what I was doing.
[00:14:15] Never people criticize how girls talk. But I think just be yourself. People will like it the way you are. If they don't like it, it might not be tasty. Actually I talked to the camera, but I talked to a friend or family. I was like this.
[00:14:36] I was talking like this. They didn't like it. I was like that. People were like, this line is speaking. This girl shouldn't speak like this. This girl shouldn't speak like this. I was like this at home. I was like this with my friends. I was like this.
[00:14:52] I don't know who is behind the camera. But whatever you see, it shouldn't be like this. So just be yourself. Things always seem very easy to us. But after doing it, it's not that easy. What is Vishakhha's saying? Don't go solo right.
[00:15:10] Unless and until you are very confident about yourself and you can take care of yourself. Let it be a girl or a boy. Going solo right seems easy. But only if you have practice of going solo and only if you know the skills, how to repair a bike,
[00:15:28] then you can go solo. If you know how to take care of yourself, then go solo. Otherwise, go alone. This is like one message. And what if you are asked about the motor vlogging? So there were two sides of the coin over here.
[00:15:42] One was good and one was bad. People who keep on talking, you sit quietly and cook food. You can't even do motor vlogging or motor biking. Or you can ride a bike. And initially my bike was stopped. When my dad was riding a bike.
[00:15:56] People laugh at me and say, I ride a girl's bike. They don't know anything. So I had to face it a little bit and give up. When there is a motor vlogging community they are not that welcoming. It should happen. In the beginning, I used to tell people
[00:16:13] who are doing collabs with other motor vloggers. Normally, you do videos with other people. But collaboration is also one part of YouTube where a new group. But they always said, yes, they do it. But I was like, they didn't do it. They were at 10,000 that time.
[00:16:27] I was at 1,000 that time. Now I have reached around 4,000. They are still at 20,000. So there are people like this. I know. And now they call me up and they say, come on, we will collab. Then I tell them, let's go. My time is running. That time was yours.
[00:16:43] So these are the things. So after all these things, now let's talk about the unique helmet that you know from Writer Girl Vishakha. It happens when I travel. People don't know that a girl is riding. So like I was coming down from Lonavra
[00:17:05] and there is a bushy dam there. So on the bridge, there is a typical spot where people take photos of the public group. So I came down and I was also taken. So I stayed there. And there was a jeep seat in front of me.
[00:17:18] All the girls were there. And the girls were out and said, they are here to take the dupe. They are here to take the dupe. So they thought that I am showing off. So I took a small bike and took photos of it. And I was leaving.
[00:17:29] So I came and came to walk with them. They were very close. They were very expensive bikes at that time. And they were top class bikes. Everyone wanted this bike. They gave this bike. So as soon as they asked me to take a picture,
[00:17:45] I took out my helmet. I said, I am not taking dupe. I am taking dupe. And all the girls were coming to take my life. So there are many incidents like this. That's why I wanted people to know what is this bike.
[00:18:00] So I asked them to wear a small helmet. Because I had a short hair. And if I had long hair, I would tie up my hair and hide it in my jacket. So that's why I attached it. But one more thing is that I wanted a short one
[00:18:17] which is detachable. Because if I ride a bike at night, then I don't want people to know that it's a girl who is riding. Because it is unsafe. But in the day, I want people to know that the girl is riding is far away.
[00:18:30] And people don't know at night that she is riding far away. So this concept came up in my mind. And then I left it. What a great thing! So let's go. What is the fun of happy life? Marry a bike. You will be very happy.
[00:18:46] After listening to Vishakhha, after listening to right-wing Vishakhha, who is the first female motor vlogger in our country, so many girls will be like this who will be a little closer to their motorcycling dream. I will meet you soon with another Biker Diva. Take care.
[00:19:08] And remember, never twist the throttle with your ego. You were listening to Biker Divas with Rajakta.
