Mumbai, April 11, 2017: Making quite a spectacular entrance into the gates of Aamby Valley, the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G) recently concluded their first zonal rally for the year. Cruising into the picturesque hill station of Lonavala, the Western H.O.G. Rally (W.H.R) witnessed a pack of 700 riders from across the country to celebrate its 6th edition. Riders came in from across the length and breadth of the country – some as far as Dehradun, New Delhi and Guwahati.
Led by Seven Islands Harley-Davidson Chapter, Mumbai, the 6th W.H.R offered a great experience to H.O.G. Members from across the country. The weekend comprised of an exciting line-up of activities, from customization competitions and head-thumping music to adrenaline pumping adventure sports, all that reflect the true Harley culture. The spectacle witnessed a strong participation from all Harley-Davidson Chapters, including the more recently launched Chapters such as Foothills Harley-Davidson (Dehradun), Red Fort Harley-Davidson (New Delhi) and Brahmaputra Harley-Davidson (Guwahati). This year, the Seven Islands Harley-Davidson Chapter organized fun activities such as adrenaline pumping adventure sports including jet skiing and rock-climbing and other engaging games.
Arjun Bafna, Dealer Principal, Seven Islands Harley-Davidson Chapter added, “We were thrilled to host the 6th Western H.O.G. Rally to Aamby Valley, offering the H.O.G. members a one-of-a-kind experience. As a part of the H.O.G. Rallies, the riders have always explored new terrains and we are certain that we created yet another unforgettable experience for them.”
Speaking about the 6th Western H.O.G. Rally, Sreedhar Raju, Chapter Director, Seven Islands Harley-Davidson Chapter, Harley-Davidson India said, “Annual H.O.G. rallies are a great opportunity to get quality face time with our brothers from across the country. We are glad that the 6th Western H.O.G. Rally helped the Harley riders create some memorable moments while indulging in the adventure sports and fun games, exploring the open roads, sharing riding stories and bringing the H.O.G. brotherhood closer. After five successful editions, the 6th W.H.R brought together the biggest offline community in India.”
The traditional Custom Contest saw a grand display of creativity and self-expression by Harley owners. With personalization and an element of customization at the core of every Harley rider’s soul, it helps empower the customers define their very own personal statement. Amongst the 11 riders who participated in the Custom Contest, Anindya Dey Sarker from Seven Islands Harley-Davidson Chapter emerged the winner for having customized his beloved Street 750.
Furthering the motorcycling culture in the island city, the Seven Islands Chapter has also pioneered a number of social causes. Adding more sheen to their talent, the Chapter recently won the ‘Chapter of the Year’ at the recently held 5th India H.O.G. Rally in February 2017.
