Default The Moto Cafe


Concept :
I , as many of you would know , am an avid biker and an automotive enthusiast. And as some of you might not know a foodie also. I , along with other enthusiasts have always felt the need for a place where ‘we’ can hang out , watch F1 and Moto GP races together , meetup before and after the ride. A place where we can sit and discuss cars , bikes , top gear all this without other people staring at us in disbelief that we have only Automobiles to talk about.

The Moto Cafe :Based on this concept , I have come up with my venture , called The Moto Cafe. It is conveniently located near chandni chowk (1.4 kms towards Pashan , on NDA pashan road) , ample parking space and ample room for a group of enthusiasts. We have kept automotive books/encyclopedias , automotive , photography , gadgets and travel magazines , All this along with varieties of Hot and Cold coffees , Ice creams and sandwiches etc. We are airing All moto GP and Formula 1 races and other sporting events on LCD’s.

Pics and Map :
(click to enlarge)











Suggestions and comments :
Now the most important part of the thread -

Since this is “our” hang out place , I request all automotive enthusiasts to comment on this venture and suggest what all can be done to the place. Hoping to see all members pour in as many suggestions , ideas as they can.

P.S. This is a dream of project of an ex- software professional who dreamt of automobiles all the time and rode on weekends. Help me in making The Moto Cafe as ‘our’ hang out place.

Good to see the thread finally up.

@Nikhil - I have seen you working very hard for this from the past couple of months. Good to see it running and going by the initial response that the cafe is getting I assure you that hit will be big hit among youth and others.

It is time something like this be implemented in different cities.

@Nikks: A very good job done. I am sure motorcyclists would ENJOY being there, amongst other bikers' company. Has this 'cafe' started functioning already?

feeling great to see such a cafe in India as dere are very less people who think of opening a cafe for bikers , i liked this place a lot becoz a biker can easily come n make himself cool by watching motogp, F1...............
We should preserve and run it like do the bikes run their bikes on Indian roads........
Proud to be an INDIAN.

hey niks, nice initiative man, something where one can just talk about bikes and all engine stuff.

No need to worry about your girl friends or anything.

This place can be a nirvana point for bikers.

Superb thought.. Am sure like u, me & many here must have thought of such things.. But you have finally done it.. Me too a biker & a software professional, so next step is to chuck code & get into the 'real' business. Woulds surely step in someday if I come to Pune..!!
Hope it comes up in a really big way & around the nation..
