Inddiethumpers © Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room http://www.inddiethumpers.com/ Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room In the age of modern machines, there are still people who are passionate about true blue motorcycling the old fashioned way. The throaty roar of an exhaust note from a Royal Enfield is what triggers their adrenalin. The same passion for the classic British Singles led to formation of, The Royal Enfield Motorcycle Club 'Inddiethumpers' in December 2001. Based in Mumbai India, the group started by three people with a dream to share their adventures on the road with like-minded people and explore the vast beauty of India, is now the biggest bullet club in India with approx 350 members in the family. And these members are not just from Bombay or from India. Some of our family members are proudly flying the Inddiethumpers flag in faraway countries like USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Middle East. Most of the people in the group are working or self employed professionals along with some students. These people are from various walks of lifeCompany Directors, Chief Executives, Engineers, Doctors, Bankers, Sailors, Movie Artists, Stock Traders, and Students. The normal age group of members is from 18 till mid 40's. We are also proud to have 2 female riders in the group besides the wives, girlfriends and kids of members joining us on the rides as well as the grand parties Inddiethumpers are known to host. Truly ours is a One Global Family. Now since the scope and activities of our club has increased to such an extent, we have registered Inddiethumpers as a Non Profit Making Organization. The masses love to watch and read about people who dare to tread on the unexplored paths and bring excitement to their normal steady life. From the early days of club formation, Inddiethumpers has attracted a strong media attention. We have been featured many times in the print media on India's leading newspapers like "The Times of India, Indian Express, Mid-day, The Week, Salaam Mumbai" on leading auto magazines like "Autocar, Overdrive, Royal Enfield Beat" as well as on the television media with the likes of stiff-upper-lip types BBC featuring us in their "Wheels" show to a more trendy youth channel like "Channel V" dedicating their entire episode to Inddiethumpers. News channels like "Star News, Zee News, Aaj Tak, and Sahara News" have also featured us on regular basis.

These rides then become a vital source of information, especially the information on rides to the northern frontiers are sought after by the unwary travelers who wish to follow our paths. But this family is not all metal and tarmac. It has a very warm heart too. Inddiethumpers have always been instrumental in giving back goodwill to the society. For the uninitiated roadies we have undertaken road-safety awareness drives, donation/charity rides for other NGO's, a peace ride when Bombay was exploding with terrorist bombing our city, Independence Day ride when we proudly ride together expressing our freedom and spreading the brotherhood. © Inddiethumpers http://www.inddiethumpers.com/ Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room RiderMania Three years back an idea hit one of our members Vernon and was supported to the hilt by Daman, our club founder, Why not host a festival where Bullet riders from all over India gather at a place in celebration of this marquee bike. An idea that started small became a big reality in January when "RiderMania 2003" happened. The first edition brought together 70 bikers from all over India to Goa where they spent 2 days of complete Fun in the Sun. This was "The First" ever such kind of motorcycles meet in India and what better way to start, than with, and for a marquee bike. The Old Anchor in South Goa played hosts to the participants who began rolling in from the 10th of January 2003. Seventy well-modified bikes with their armour of shiny paint and chrome was an awe-inspiring sight that one can never forget. There was excitement in the air with every participant greeting each other with a warm hug and a spirit of brotherhood that cannot be explained. The thumps sent shock waves in the corporate world and companies like "Royal Enfield, SKF Bearings, Gabriel Shock Absorbers, TI Diamond, Club Mahindra and Veedol" also graced the event. More details of the event can be viewed at http://www.royalenfield.com/rider_mania2003.asp © Inddiethumpers http://www.inddiethumpers.com/ Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room The second edition, "RiderMania 2004" again brought together the 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. The specially built parking space at Riva Resort, Goa was lined up with models of Royal Enfield bikes with and without modifications and customizations. It was a treat for the eyes that left mouths gaping in awe. A night to rival all nights, the Royal Enfield Nite was one big party. The 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.

From the initial survey and its enthusiastic response, we are expecting a minimum of 350 bikes and their riders to be present at RM'05. Never before a biker will have seen and will ever see such a mega biking event in his lifetime. The venue, Raigad Resorts, Panvel nestled in picturesque surroundings will be in focus of attention during this event. Riders, so far away from home will be made to feel at home yet treated nothing less than "A Royal". They will feel similar to reaching the Promised Land and it will be Inddiethumpers, who will lead them on the path of this Promised Land. For starters the event will be a three-day event instead of earlier two. During the earlier RM's the riders sorely missed an additional day. Wish fulfilled, they can now look upon one more day of fun. Ambassadors of Inddiethumpers will await their arrival at all four entry points of Mumbai and will escort them safely to the venue. On the way they will be greeted by flags and welcome banners leading upto the venue. That remainder of that day will be spent relaxing. But as the dusk sets in, the event will be kicked off with a hep fashion show with bikes and bikers as the theme. Modified bikes from all over the country will be showcased and a vote for the Best Modified Bike will be sought. A wild party follows this. The DJ will keep pumping out 35000 watts of pulsating music setting the dance floor on fire. Flair bartenders will revel the connoisseurs at the bar with their eye-catching performance. The house chefs will treat the partying people with their choicest Hor's D'overs followed by a sumptuous food fest. The nights continue with high adrenaline movies screened on a large screen. The venue will have stalls set up where the riders can find accessories for themselves and their bikes. Immediate Response Counters will be set having 1. Seat maker, for customized seats. 2. Paint artists, who will hand paint the design selected by the rider. 3. Tattoo artists 4. Sticker guys having the snazziest stickers for the bikes. 5. Paint protectors, guys who do Polymer coating on the bikes which keeps the paint intact for years together. 6. Leather stalls where the riders can find leather accessories at an affordable price. 7. Service stations where the bikes would be serviced after the long rides. © Inddiethumpers http://www.inddiethumpers.com/ Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room The venue will also have Delayed Response Counters where riders who dreamed of getting a customized part will be actually be able to fulfill it. There will be customization houses showcasing different silencers, tanks, saddlebags, foot pegs, LED kits, etc. basically the entire works... If a rider has something in his mind he will be able to conceptualize it with the help of these customization houses. Want some more?? A treasure hunt will see the riders booming their cannons for the ultimate glory. A Fast and Furious Biking Quiz will set their pulse racing. They will attempt to beat the clock in the Engine Assembly Challenge. Imagine the adrenaline.. the energy pumping around and that too without a shred of rivalry. Confused ??? Well the objective of this event is to spread the brotherhood and we are firm on our focus. When all riders are assembled, teams will be formed in such a way that there is atleast one rider from every group. So during the competitions when they see their own brothers doing better, rivalry will automatically give way to cheers and encouragements. Harmony Prevails!! You say what’s going to make this RiderMania A Special Event; and the answer is "Tradition". We intend to have one standard Royal Enfield 500cc bike customized in such a manner that it is "That Dream Bullet" which every one longs for. The bike will have a complete makeover from its head to tail making it, what we call as a theme bike. Raw unadulterated power, mean retro look, a don't mess with me attitude shouting out of each part... be it the foot pegs, the guards, the handles, exhaust flame thrower kits, etc. The bike will be labeled as the "RM05 Enfield of the Year" and will be auctioned for a price starting Re.1. There will be a bidding amongst club members / individuals for this bike and the highest bidders will take home this bike. It will be the rolling trophy of the Rider Mania. But things don't end here, This bike will be accompanied by a book that contains details of the RiderMania, the people, the club/individual owning the bike, the places where this bike went during the year, etc. This bike will be brought back again to the subsequent RiderMania's with more improvisation/enhancements and will be re-bided. The legacy continues... These three days will make every rider feel, worth his salt, as to why he is called "The Rider" and why is he different, not immortal but still different. When he leaves the venue he will take back with him the memories, a tradition but above all the Holy Grail, back to his hometown. © Inddiethumpers http://www.inddiethumpers.com/ Inddiethumpers Live On The Edge, It Takes Up Less Room When hundreds of people gather together with One aim… with One objective History is in making.
