“While we were passing Nagaland the naxalites stopped us and asked for money but one good Samaritan in them respect our mission and let us move forward. Secondly at one stretch in Goa we have to pass a long forest but our bullet got punctured and we have to search a mechanic and convince him to help us. As we have only 300 in our pocket and his payment was 500 so we convince him. Such type of incidents happened but we fight them and move forward,” said Elby Jolly the rider and girl from Baroda.
