Harley Davidson, cult mobike, in India soon- Hindustan Times



Saturday(12-10-2013) Harley Rock Riders Season IV: Find Your Freedom GRAND FINALE CONTEST at "MEHBOOB STUDIO" :- Harley Rock Riders first began in 2010 and is an annual music competition held by Harley-Davidson. 
For the first time in my life i had the opportunity to witness the largest assembly of "HARLEY DAVIDSON" motorcycles at a single location  in Mumbai .
Excellent evening of viewing classic “HARLEY DAVIDSON “ bikes .Never ever imagined that i would see such expensive and classic cult motorcycles in Mumbai during my life-time.
"STAGE 3 " of the "MEHBOOB STUDIO" in Bandra was the venue for the rock contest.
The first three groups that opened the show at “STAGE 3″ venue of  “Mehboob Studio” were 1)Filharmonix (Jorhat) from Guwahati 2)Third Eye Destruction (New Delhi) and 3) Grey Shack (Chennai). These 3 groups were in competition for the "GRAND JACKPOT PRIZE" of performing at the "EUROPEAN BIKE WEEK-2014" at Lake Faak in Austria.
After these three groups performed there was rock music entertainment  by three popular groups, A)"Overhung" from Mumbai,B) "Junkyard Groove" from Chennai and C)  "SHAA'IR and FUNC" .
"GREY SHACK" of Chennai won the "HARLEY ROCK RIDERS CONTEST".

After the intoxicating “TEST DRIVE” of a “Harley Davidson” mobike and a photo-shoot on a Rs 25,00,000 “Harley Davidson “Road King” i drove home on my local “Bajaj Wind-125cc” with better road confidence! A Great night of MUSIC AND BIKES to remember for a “Been there, Done that, Seen that” experience.
"TEST DRIVE" of "Harley Davidson  883" Motorcycle.

Thursday (10/8/2023):- On the " Harley Davidson FAT BOB 114" launched in 2023 in India at the Harley Davidson Showroom at Prabhadevi in Mumbai.This bike has a price tag of Rs 26,86,000.As for me the " Royal Enfield Bullet 350cc" has been my cruiser bike since 2019.

Thursday(10/8/2023)HORSES FOR COURSES ! :- WHICH 2- WHEELER IS SUITABLE FOR SHORT DISTANCES ON MUMBAI'S CONGESTED TRAFFIC JAM ROADS ? Is it the Rs 26,86, 000 only Harley Davidson " Fat Bob 114 " on which I am posing at the recently opened " Harley Davidson Showroom" at Prabhadevi in Mumbai or the stylish simple non- gear Rs 10,000 ( Rockstar Cycle) purchased at " Decathlon " at Worli ?
Thursday (10/8/2023):- Nothing like a " CYCLE" for negotiating short distances and congested roads in Mumbai akin to " Extreme sports riding". This is my " Rockstar" cycle purchased in 2023  for Rs 10,000 and used for daily commuting in my locality of Prabhadevi- Worli-Dadar. This photo was taken outside the " Harley Davidson Showroom " at Prabhadevi. 
I myself cruise long distance's  jn Mumbai city on  my " Royal Enfield Bullet 350 " and cruise the circumference of approx 5 Kms around my locality of Prabhadevi on my  cycle's.Sadly unlike " First World Country's " cycling on Mumbai's streets during peak traffic hours is akin to extreme sports and wonder if Mumbai will ever have permanent " CYCLING LANES" for cycles.Honestly there is no better pleasure than riding on a motorcycle or cycle irrespective of it being a Rs 26,86,000 " FAT BOB 114 " or a Rs 10,000 ( ROCK STAR) Cycle.The choice is yours.
