Jawa-Yezdi Motorcycles flagged off the annual Taktsang Trail Ride from the Bishwa dealership in Jorhat with 14 riders riding across the beautiful landscape of the North-Eastern states.
The ride, which commenced at Khonoma the previous day and passed through Dimapur will complete in Guwahati on May 16 with the Jawa and Yezdi Nomads who will cover around 1,000kmon Jawa & Yezdi motorcycles, riding through the verdant and unexplored corners of the North East.
The Nomads will also be accompanied by riders from the Indian Army in the region and will offer homage to the bravery of the armed forces.
The participants will also meet Mr. Pema Khandu, the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh and GOC – 5 Mountain Division, who will flag off the Nomads from the Tenga section of the ride. The ride started from the idyllic Khonoma, Asia’s first green village, reaching Dimapur, at the site of the upcoming Jawa-Yezdi’s flagship store in Nagaland. Post-Dimapur, the riders will arrive at Nemati Ghats on the mighty Brahmaputra River banks. Post Itanagar, in the Nameri National Forest reserve and Pakke Tiger reserve, the riders will be passing through the home of not just the tiger but elephants, rare species of birds and fish in the Jia Bharali River. The ride will throw ample challenge to man and the machine, and in the future, the “Taktsang Trail” will be an annual property from the Jawa-Yezdi brands.
The CEO of Classic Legends Mr. Ashish Singh Joshi said, “The riders will be able to enjoy the newly launched Yezdi range of motorcycles but the Jawa and Jawa 42 will also enthrall the riders with their presence in the line-up. Riding the legendary Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles on this trail will be memorable for the Nomads.”
