Sid, affectionately known as Sidi, is the driving force behind the Throttle Out experience. From a young age, Sid's passion for two wheels was evident, earning him a reputation for impeccably maintained machines within the local motorcycle community. His journey with motorcycles began with Royal Enfields during his school days, leading him to traverse the length and breadth of India before embarking on a two-wheeled exploration of New Zealand during his university years, where he tackled the entire country on various motorcycles from BMW, Honda & Moto Guzzis.
Despite briefly venturing into corporate life after his return to India, Sid found himself irresistibly drawn back to his true calling: riding motorcycles and exploring new regions and connecting with people through his journeys persuing his passion. Sid's expertise in crafting unforgettable rides and community experiences was honed during his tenure with Triumph Motorcycles and BMW Motorrad in India.
