1. Who am I and Why you should read me

In a world of excessive information where multiple sources provide you the same information, I'm going to try my best to separate myself from others by giving you the direct and unfiltered experiences about my daily life. Now before you ask what's so special about my life that you should take out time to read me, allow me to introduce myself. 

My name is Shikhar Katiyar and I turned 35 February 23, 2025. I live in Tier-3 city of Bikaner, Rajasthan working a 10 to 7 with Mahindra and Mahindra as Cluster Trainer that I absolutely love just like majority of people who I assume are going to be my readers. Since most of my writing will be based on my personal experiences and learning of the motoring world, I can assure you of the authenticity as prior to Mahindra I have worked with MG, Massey Ferguson, Cars24 with starting my career with Triumph Motorcycles back in 2019.

My association and experience in the Automobile Industry however isn’t the reason for you to read me. This blog will be my story as a Corporate employee who ride motorcycles and drive cars in his free time. Hopefully my writing will inspire you to be motorists yourself if you are into it. If you are not then Hopefully it will give you an idea on how to pursue your hobbies and passion in your free time. As much as I love being on the road I also enjoy talking about it and since I am not that good at making videos, I am expressing myself with the next best thing according to me that is writing. Would love to have a Podcast in the future now that I think about it. 


Finally, I hope we get to interact with each other on a regular basis. Do let me know what you liked and what needs to be improved. I will try to make short video content and post them on the @Vehify YouTube Channel. If you wish to connect with me on Instagram you can find me as @vehify.

A VERY HAPPY AND COLORFUL HOLI TO YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILIES.

Take care everyone!

2. First motorcycle in 14 years

Greetings Everyone I am Shikhar once again and today I am going to talk about my motorcycle. I am going to tell you what it is, why I purchased it, what all I do with it and hopefully by the end of This article you will also feel motivated to get something for yourself and get on with the riding. What is it: What I currently own and ride right now is a 2015 TVS Apache RTR 160 that I purchased almost at the end of 2022. It's white in colour and had close to 25000 Kilometers on it. Back then the motorcycle was by no means perfect as it hadn't been ridden throughout the pandemic and was in a pretty rough shape since the front Brake pads required replacement, chain and sprocket were gone too and front Tire was barely existing. Now it has done more than 42000 Kilometers and after 2 crashes I won't say it's perfect even now but it just works for me. Why I purchased it: The easy answer would be that I got bored of riding our old Hero Maestro but that will be an inc...

4. From Big Bikes to Basics: My Riding Evolution

This is the story about my 2015 TVS Apache RTR 160. Before we continue I want to confess that just like some people my age I at one point in time wanted to own such a motorcycle during my school days but couldn't. Over time my interests evolved and life took its turns in such a way that I ended up riding some of the best motorcycles that I used to see in movies or on wall posters. Now that I consider myself to be wiser and more experienced about my choices of motorcycles, This motorcycle has made me a better rider than I was on those big bikes. Let me tell you how: Why this and not anything else?  The first constraint was availability and that means both money and options available. I only had Rs. 50000 to spend and I was tired of riding My Hero Maestro. I tried looking for an old Impulse but all were above 1 Lakh. I found a few Pulsars but they were either too old or had too many owners. I still did check those out considering the name and the legacy but all had issues as the phot...
