Rider Mania 2004 (10th &11th Jan) was a big hit. The enthusiasm that bubbled free at this two-day event is yet to die down, so is the after-event euphoria. Even now the Ride Stories look back with nostalgia! There was all the action and adventure that Rider Mania was conceived for. Lots of camaraderie, laughter, and bonding that has to be experienced, not read.
It brought together the most passionate and loyal Royal Enfield owners from all over India. Over 130 Riders from various parts of the country, of all ages and backgrounds, hit the roads to be in Goa. The most diehard of the lot did over 2000 km to participate in the festivities! But it was all worth the while. And now lets gear up for Rider Mania 2005.
The Resort The Riva Resort, Goa was the venue for Rider Mania 2004. The picturesque resort is spread across an endless sand bank. The beach was everything one wishes a beach to be and the waters, warm and welcoming. Ideal for lazing in the sun after a hard ride.
The Rider Mania All models of Royal Enfield with and without modifications and customisations were lined up at the venue for the meet that is one of a kind in India. It was a treat for the eyes of the gathered that included several gaping tourists!
Royal Enfield Nite A night to rival all nights, the Royal Enfield Nite was one big party. A DJ rocked the packed dance floor with all the numbers that set the pulse racing and there was so much camaraderie that one wished the night would never end. Good food, good music and lots of laughter, just what the bikers wished for.
The Goa Ride 120 Royal Enfields wound their way across the lazy Goan terrain, with the ‘thump-thump’ of their machines reverberating in their wake long after they’d left! Awesome, isn’t enough to describe the spectacle. For a moment it was as if the whole of Goa had come to a stand still to make way for the Bullets.
