You'll meet Sufi saints, fake fakirs and homesick soldiers. You'll get stuck in an icy road river and be miraculously rescued. You'll feel the stress an average Kashmiri experiences everyday. You'll see how blind and dangerous religion can be if it is only followed in rituals and illogical beliefs. You'll see how friendly and hospitable everyone is on the roads of India. You'll come away feeling exhilarated, entertained and yes, also exhausted by the physical arduousness of the motorcycle ride.

Review
Cruising through the roughest terrains and encountering a host of characters on the way, it is a courageous tale that will tickle your funny bone and even make you wish you were a pillion. -- Bike India (Dec.2008)
India seems a mythical land to the rest of us, and we could never hope to understand such a deep and complex world even if we took 1,000 journeys across the vast sub-continent. But Mr. Harisinghani has spun a wonderful narrative of a journey where you're riding pillion on a 4,300 kilometer adventure from Pune in west-central India all the way north, through Jaipur and New Delhi, all the way up to Leh and Jammu.
fun, exciting, spiritual with a sense of humor and you'll learn a lot about a fantastic and varied country. Highly recommended -- webbikeworld.com
This is the simple and endearing story of a middle-aged man's lone journey on his Royal Enfield. His travels, from Pune to the northernmost parts of India and back, are the result of a promise made to a dying friend. Written in an easy, thoughtful style, One Life to Ride gives you the feeling you are actually riding pillion with the author.
-- Royal Enfield Books, Manchester, UK
an interesting read for those who enjoy a bit of adventure and also a look into India's vibrant and rich culture with its warm and welcoming people. -- Times of India
