Our Story

Where the Road Meets Purpose

In the early dawn of a sun-kissed morning in 2018, three friends, fueled by a shared love for the open road, set out on a journey that would change not just their lives but plant the seeds for a movement. The hum of the Enfield beneath them, they embarked on a 9,800-kilometer parikrama of India, not fully aware that their winding path would lead to the birth of REAP - a journey with a purpose.

As the wheels rolled across terrains, from the vibrant villages of Bihar to the sun-soaked landscapes of Gujarat, every kilometer etched a story. It wasn't just about the destinations; it was about the people, the cultures, the shared laughter over a bowl of dal bhati in Rajasthan, the warmth of a stranger's smile in Kerala, and the unspoken bond forged on the winding roads of Maharashtra.

It was amidst the diversity of India that the realization struck - the Enfield wasn't just a machine; it was a bridge, a connection, an invitation. The way people looked at them, not just as travelers passing by, but as emissaries of a shared journey, sparked an idea. What if, sitting on these bikes, they could connect with people for a purpose beyond the joy of riding?

REAP, the brainchild of this realization, was born not just from the asphalt beneath the tires but from the collective beating heart of every person met on the journey. It wasn't just an NGO; it was a community, a family of like-minded souls bound by the thrill of adventure and a deep-seated commitment to ride, respect, and restore.

In the fabric of REAP's tale, additional threads were woven. Two members joined the campaign later, captivated by the concept shared by fellow riders. Another twin brother, fueled by the desire to traverse Leh-Ladakh post-COVID-19, successfully covered the cold desert and the Himalayan range on a single-cylinder Enfield.

The memories of the All-India Ride and the Leh-Ladakh expedition rekindled the forgotten soul of brotherhood, fostering one motto, one passion. This had an exponential effect; solidifying REAP as a united forum till date.

So, welcome to REAP, where every twist of the throttle echoes with purpose, every adventure is a story waiting to be told, and every rider, every supporter, becomes a cherished part of our ever-growing tale.

Join us, not just on the roads, but on a journey of shared experiences, profound connections, and making a difference. Because at REAP, the road isn't just a way forward; it's a canvas for the stories of our collective adventure.
