World Motorcycle Day; Motorcyclists Rejoice

By Ajinkya

Today is the day every motorcycling enthusiast should get out and ride his or her bike without fail. It is the 21st of June and every year 'World Motorcycle Day' is celebrated on this day. No matter what two wheeler you own litre-class or a 100cc 2-stroke, it is your day today.

The date for 'World Motorcycle Day' is specifically chosen as it is the longest day in a year a.k.a. Summer Solstice. That said, for those of us bikers for whom riding is in our DNA, we need no excuse to ride our bikes, be it the longest, shortest or even the last day of earth, we need no excuse to ride our bikes.

If you're clueless what to do, do not worry because there will be a club or manufacturer close to you that has planned an event for today. Today also marks the flag off of the Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey in its 11th edition.

Now you may be thinking we are sitting at home and giving advice. Do not worry, today is Saturday and a half day at work, so we have a few rides planned with our riding groups to our preferred locations. We plan to simply meet up, share our stories and basically admire each other's ride.

Even if you do not belong to any club or group, head down solo or with a pillion friend to an interesting food joint a distance away, for example, and get a nice, long ride in.
