Harley Davidson India, organised a Founders' Ride this past Sunday (6th Dec '09) in Bangalore.

Here are some first ever pics of the Harley Davidsons in India, to have you go drool over the legend..

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

Could we have some more details, write some text, give the context etc...

Approved

Thanks for the approval Ken da..

The ride was mostly directed towards the media, to create awareness of the brand's arrival in India. I was told that a similar ride had already taken place in New Delhi & Mumbai.

Some of the bikes were brought in by Harley Davidson, while some others belonged to current owners. There were a total of 15 Harleys (interestingly, all were Delhi registered) in the convoy, that started from Jayamahal Palace Hotel, went to the Airport, and came to a halt at the historic and magnificent Bangalore Palace. The total distance of the ride was 65Kms.

The riders were ones who had a lot or riding experience behind them (some as much as 20+ years), & some of them were included owners of a BMW bike, an R6, etc. As it is not unusual for a Harley, there was a female rider as well.

The ride to & from the Airport was very organised, & the convoy moved in a proper staggered formation, in 2 groups, with distance barely separating them.

There was a jeep carrying media (wielding & shooting the bikes wih their magnificent DSLRs), and some other media vehicles, driving beside the convoy to take some best shots.

Overall, it was a great opportunity for cruiser fans, to see the legend up close.

PS: There are some videos as well, which I will upload in due course

Thanks for sharing, Tibby. Wish Harley organizes one event in Chennai.

I hope there are more pictures coming up? I only see macros and no full shots of bikes? Do let us know the models that were present too.
