Of Motoring and Motorcycling

A PILGRIMAGE-LIKE CONVERGENCE OF two-wheeler enthusiasts from all over the country at a particular place for a big festival is not something new in our country. The India Bike Week (IBW) has been a shining example of that for the past 11 years. As everyone knows, it is an annual event for two-wheeler enthusiasts to celebrate the joy of riding, happiness, music, food, and, of course, all things motorcycles. Well, now the very same organisers of the IBW have come out with an all-new event: Generation Speed.

Unlike the IBW, however, the theme of Generation Speed is not centred round and limited to only motorcycling, it caters to car enthusiasts from all over the country, too. Thus, it promises to be one of the biggest gatherings in the country with something of interest for everyone, whether a classic bike enthusiast or a supercar junkie. It was inconceivable that we would miss such an event, so we rode down to the Aamby Valley airstrip on the 22nd and 23rd of February to witness the celebration of motoring and motorcycling in India.
