The other highlight were the much talked about 1:3 scale models of the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and the Classic 500. Yes, motorcycles from the past and these models, the attention to detail is immaculate. It is almost as if these motorcycles have been shrunk from their original size. And the best part is that all these motorcycles get working parts. So, the clutch works, the brake works, the suspension works, it is absolutely fabulous. These motorcycle scale models are very, very expensive, at Rs. 68,000 per piece. These are limited edition models, and they will be available at a Royal Enfield showroom near you soon. 
Along with motorcycles, the festival had some lovely musical performances with bands and solo artists like Divine, Swarathma, Thaikuddam Bridge, The Peter Cat Recording Co. and many, many more! It was interesting to see the crowd dance and revel to the foot-tapping music on all three days. 
And then there was the Royal Enfield Slide School, where enthusiasts were taught how to slide the FT 411 flat-track Himalayan, under expert guidance. Then, there were dirt races organised for different classes, on a small but technical dirt track. There were winners and losers, but most of all, there was a lot of enjoyment! 
There was so much to do and there is something for everybody. All the Royal Enfield motorcycles were on display. There are beautiful, gorgeous custom motorcycles on display that are kept there. There was a skateboard park, helmet painting, T-shirt painting and what not!
