The 14th Edition of Royal Enfield Rider Mania has currently taken Goa by storm as riders from across the country have completed the journey to mark their presence. With well over 6000 riders and counting, the venue in Vagator is a full house with more people expected to make it to the last day of the event. The first day was as exciting as it could get with the ensemble of bikers coming in, custom motorcycles, drag races and the dirt race. With Day 2, the events turned out to be more interesting as we witnessed some extremely fun activities like the Cleanest Bike Competition, Slow Race, Carry Your Bike as well as talks from veteran riders and motorcycle enthusiasts. Sounds like fun? It sure was and if you couldn’t make it here. Don’t worry, here’s a quick look at Day 2 in pictures. Day 2 kicked off with lots of fun events that saw skill and team work go hand in hand. The Slow Race was all about having control over your bike. The one who crossed the finish line last was crowned the winner. If you ever thought going slow was easy, this race will prove you wrong. The Carry Your Bike competition was an interesting one with teams lifting their nearly 200 kg Royal Enfields and setting their eyes on the finishing line The thumps on the Dirt Track continued as the 550cc Royal Enfields participated in the race. The grass laden track ensured we got to see lots of sideways action. For most of the races, there was a close battle between the participants The custom bike arena continues to surprise – Like this vintage Royal Enfield Bullet based taxi. There were full blown choppers with little resemblance to the bikes from Royal Enfield Custom bike builders continued to astound with their creations even on Day 2 If not for bikes, Rider Mania is also about meeting interesting people and discuss travel, riding and much more There is no dearth of finding fun people here At night the lights are switched on and the main stage comes alive with performances by indie bands, DJs and other musicians Seen here is Ankur and The Ghalat Family And the audience is all set to end the day with some soulful music. Day 3 of the 2016 Royal Enfield Rider Mania will pack in more events, races, performances and have more bikers coming in. Make sure to keep watching this space for complete updates for the final day
