xBhp.com organizes different levels of events and rides involving its members and general audience at different levels. Himachal xPlorers III was a ride involving selected xBhp members from all over the country of India riding into the Himalayas. It was a non-sponsored event. In 2006, xBhp did it's first 'Great' ride which wanted to encompass maximum xBhp members offline and online and do it the way a pan-India roadtrip was never done before - The Great indian Roadtrip. xBhp realized that such grand ambitions require infrastructure and media support - which it got from it's sponsors.
The Great Australian Roadtrip is the next big ride from the xBhp stables. The two ‘Great’ rides were marked in between by a week long Discover Rajasthan trip 07(sponsored by Nokia NSeries). Such trips are extreme risk trips, not only because of the investment of sponsor's money or the sheer distance, but because we see it as a responsibility towards our members and the youth of India, who we want to motivate to do what they dream of.
With so much at stake we appreciate corporates, media institutions and other companies who have associated with us, showing faith and realizing our potential.
Before we go into the details about our sponsors we want to share some tips to other clubs, members and institutions who have been inspired by xBhp and have started their own ventures and clubs. Often they ask us how do we get sponsors. We just want to advise them to do what they believe in and do things differently. Also never do things from the point of view of money or fame. If that is what you want, then first get your aims right & just, the rest will follow. Also be sure to be ready to share what you do with the rest of the people, otherwise it will just another personal effort.

Castrol has been associated with xBhp.com since April 2005. It had decided to support xBhp.com when we were in need and almost shut down due to lack of money to run a dedicated server. Castrol has not only supported xBhp as a single entity, but in this way, it has provided thousands of bikers all across India with an opportunity and platform to meet like minded people and discover the world. Castrol Power1 was the main sponsor for the GIR and is the main sponsor for The GAur as well. We will be using this oil in the Hyosung Comet GT650Rs throughout the trip.

Nokia NSeries is a youth brand. It also symbolizes everything mobile and creative. The need to capture your environment, the need to stay in touch. Nokia NSeries was a mobile multimedia partner in the GIR. In this trip it is the co-sponsor & it will be giving us N73s to capture images and videos as we traverse Australia. We also did a Rajasthan (a desert state in India) trip in early 2007 to showcase the prowess of the N73.
