BSF sets world record in motorcycle riding

Two Border Security Force (BSF) jawans from motorcycle trick riding team 'Janbaz' set a new world record on Tuesday by riding continuously for 10 hr 34 min 27 sec on top of a pole fitted to their steed.

Inspector Awdhesh Kumar Singh and Head Constable Durvesh Kumar of BSF rode on 16.5 feet tall ladder/pole fitted to their steed on the 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle and entered the Limca book of world record.

They set their record at Chawla BSF Camp in Delhi.
