Let me start by saying that I approached this tour with a spirit of adventure and knowing that the roads of Mumbai are as frantic and challenging as the spirit of Mumbai itself. It was also a time in my life where I might be motivated by Kiplings attitude to risk, warning us that life is nothing without it. I say this so readers appreciate that the tour includes sharing roads with traffic, and negotiating some Mumbai roundabouts and intersections, although as the tour progressed later into the night this was less the case. Having said this I felt relaxed and aware of my surrounds, but I may think differently for a child or less confident rider. Now, to the tour guide Meherban Irani (Moby). What a gentleman and what a delight to spend the time with him. His intellect and knowledge is matched by the feeling in his story telling. It is evident he has a passion for the history and a deep love for the city. He is an excellent guide (by bike or not), and like all guided experiences it is often the personality of the guide that makes it memorable. You get that with Meherban.
