Being community-driven people, we at xBhp are always looking for opportunities to get together with our fellow riders. #roadTripUnited and most of our pan-India rides are based on that very endeavour. It is also great to know that we are not the only ones out there living for this. While we are the ones doing the organising most of the time, sometimes we get the opportunity to participate as well. And with a crazy motor festival like MotoRama, it was hard not to!
MotoRama was organised by Throttle Shrottle Moto Cafe, our go-to people for most of our events. With MotoRama, Throttle Shrottle wanted to create a festival celebrating the machines we love along with a lot more for all kinds of people. Powered by Apollo Tyres and supported by a slew of partners, MotoRama was held on the 18th and 19th of March, 2023. The first-of-its-kind in Gurgaon, the venue for the festival was the Throttle Shrottle MotoRanch.
As expected, the festival was encompassing, it had something for everyone; motorheads, foodies, vintage car and motorcycle enthusiasts, superbike enthusiasts and so on. Along with the stellar exhibits, there were a fair bit of activities such as off-roading, stunts, and dirt track races. In simple terms, all the adrenaline of all the kinds one can ask for!
While Day 1 was marred by the rain gods, it did not dampen the excitement. People started pouring in as soon as it stopped pouring, pun intended. The influx started around 6 PM and did not stop throughout the festival. Overall, MotoRama was attended by over 3,000 people in total. Being participants, xBhp also had its exhibit where we showcased the distinguished machines of our dream garage.
Our Suzuki Hayabusa with its Axor livery, our Streetfighter V4 and ZX-10R, and our very first sports car, a Mini Cooper S in its Acer-inspired livery. It was heartening to see so many enthusiasts spending a fair bit of time around our exhibit, capturing the memory of witnessing our machines via photos and videos. Another serious attraction of our stall was the new Axor Apex Carbon Fiber Gloss Helmet, with its dual-tone graphics adding to its uniqueness.
Along with the many attractions, MotoRama also had something for combat sports lovers. Adding a different tinge to the many colours of this automotive fest was an MMA contest. As the fighters entered the cage and got ready to battle their hearts out, the crowd erupted, infected by the energy and skill of the fighters. The spectators were left spellbound by the display of unadulterated strength, skill and sportsmanship that deservedly garnered rapturous applause.
An event full of excitement and adrenaline, MotoRama was a huge success, to say the least. Some of the best DJs and artists in town, some amazing dance performances, a great show of custom motorcycles and classic cars… is there anything else one can ask for? Even if they cannot, we are sure that the next MotoRama will still provide more nonetheless. And for that, we cannot wait!
