"Riding with TVS every time adds different experiences. I always wanted to see a different trail in the mountains every time something different that would interest my visualisations, so as AOG always keeps on adding new route plans. Last year AOG ride with TVS was added with Offroad trails and Offroad training session with Aishwarya Pissay and I must say the experience was totally worth it! Every point in the itinerary was covered with ample time to relax and enjoy with fellow AOG riders."
Gayatri Patel
"Riding with TVS was absolutely a lifetime experience. To witness the beauty with such support from AOG and riding along with Aishwarya Pissay. Couldn't have done it any better way than this. I want to thank the whole team for making this happen and I'll surely be back for more AOG madness!!"
Rahul Singh
"Riding with TVS was the best ride of AOG. From the first day to the last day the ride's terrain gets tougher but team TVS made it easier day by day. "
Pradeep Patwari
"Riding with TVS was a life-changing experience. I’ve been riding bikes for 20 years and was still not aware of many riding techniques. I learned a lot of them during the ride. It gave me a lot of memories and I’m extremely happy to be part of AOG! "
