7th Gear's Dirt Bike Racing Journey | Stock Bike, Enduro Struggles & MX Dreams

In this episode of Dummies on Wheels, I sit down with Keshav (7thGear Nepal) to talk about his journey into dirt biking, enduro racing, motocross, and what it takes to compete in Nepal’s motorsport scene. Keshav shares how he started riding from a young age, his experience racing with a stock bike against better-funded competitors, the physical and mental pressure of national-level events, the cost of racing without major sponsors, and his dream of becoming a national champion. If you’re into dirt bikes, enduro, motocross, off-road riding, racing mindset, or Nepal’s growing motorsport community, this one is for you.
