Lavi & Ollie-Riding India Ep 1: Escaping Kolkata’s Chaos with Westwind Moto


 

 

 

In the world of adventure motorcycling, Lavi & Ollie are known for their authentic storytelling and grit. They have just kicked off their second epic chapter in India, setting their sights on the wild and less-traveled "Seven Sister States" of the Northeast.

The First Ride: From Chaos to Freedom

Episode 1 begins in the heart of Kolkata. Setting out on their Royal Enfield Himalayan 450s, the duo faced the ultimate test of patience and skill: navigating Kolkata’s legendary traffic. Their mission was to head north towards Siliguri, a 500km+ journey. The ride featured everything from narrow city alleys to unexpected encounters with cattle on the highway 32:37 and heart-stopping overtakes 23:29. Despite the "hectic" start, they found beauty in the sunset as they reached their halfway point.

Built for the Wild: Featured Westwind Moto Gear

To survive thousands of kilometers in India’s diverse climates, Lavi and Ollie equipped their bikes with the ultimate luggage solution from Westwind Moto.

As Ollie showcased at the start of their ride 00:37 , they are utilizing a setup designed for serious overlanding:

  • Ranger Wilds 80 Enduro Set:

    • Rackless & Versatile: This 80L system 02:14  fits tight to the bike’s body, ensuring the bikes stay agile even when fully loaded 02:20  .

    • The Breakdown: It consists of two 25L side bags and a 30L top duffel. A standout feature is the top bag’s ability to convert into a backpack 01:10 , perfect for life off the bike.

    • Style Meets Function: Lavi rocks the Black set to match her chic aesthetic, while Ollie opted for the Desert set to complement his riding gear 02:40 .

  • Husar T2 Tank Bag: Small but mighty. This 2L tank bag 01:25 acts as their "vlogging hub," safely housing cameras, mics, spare batteries, and essentials within arm's reach 01:32 .

Whether battling city congestion or cruising the open expressway, Westwind Moto gear is proud to be part of Lavi and Ollie’s Indian adventure. Follow their journey as they head toward the Himalayas!
