Inspirations from the Managing Director

“Everyone has a turning point in their lives. Mine was Royal Enfield.”

I loved bikes from when I was very young and was always on my tricycle and then bicycle, but didn't think much about motorcycles. That was until I discovered the gleaming red and chrome beauty that my father had recently acquired which was in my driveway just waiting to be ridden. 

I was nearly 18 years old at the time, just back from boarding school and joining Delhi University, and I used to spend hours looking at dad's Bullet. I did sneak it out once in a while to go around the colony streets and when I turned 18, I got a safety talk from dad, promised to always wear a helmet when I ride, and 

that's when I started my love affair with Royal Enfield. The Bullet became my soul-mate and companion and added a new and confident dimension to my personality. 

Freedom, Beauty, Power and the Beat that has mesmerized generations, found another victim in me.” 

While working on an interesting event idea, we learnt one of the great lines by the Siddhartha Lal who's not only the Managing Director Eicher Motors (merging Royal Enfield Motors) but also the man behind the phenomenon of reviving the legend of the Royal Enfield Motorcycles.

We expresses our deep respect and a great vote of thanks to Mr. Lal for realizing the millons' dream & the legend of Royal Enfield Motorcycles that rides on forever.

Classic British Motorcycles Restored in India

Off-Course continuing the longest motorcycle brand production with the legendary Royal Enfield ‘Bullet’, India also has a tradition of restoring the classic British Motorcycles. Master Mechanics here in Delhi, Bangalore and in Punjab state are dexterous in fixing and restoring the old motorcycle from the other junk bikes sold or auctioned as a scrap. Attracting collectors and Bike enthusiasts, many local mechanics are found of keeping a small junkyard of old bike’s parts and vintage pieces.    

Here is video by Albert Clack who explores Delhi’s backstreet to find cornucopia of motor cycles from the past .
