  • Rewind : xBhp in 2013

    Presenting you a pictorial recap of the year 2013 that has been an action-packed year for xBhp as there were many achievements that were unlocked this year.

    Lets have a look


    January
    The first month of 2013 brought us the very first track day for team xBhp at BIC where we got to ride the xBhp bikes at India's F1 circuit, the Buddh International Circuit, in anticipation of upcoming India round of WSBK, which unfortunately got canceled at the very last moment.


    February
    This month saw xBhp as the community partner with the India Bike Week 2013 as well as me & Sunny riding the Ninja ZX10R, Ninja 1000, & 2013 Ninja 250 R plus the older Ninja 250 in Philippines.

      Its been an eventful year for Xbhp. Apart from the above-mentioned formal achievements, we also got in touch with the "humane" side of Xbhp:

      1. Almost 25 bikers associated with Xbhp contributed in both cash and kind for the relief of poor souls who were caught in the Uttarakhand relief fund.

      For some of us, it was an incident which made us sad whenever we heard about it on TV, etc.
      For some others, it was a matter of finding out the whereabouts of close relatives,
      And for some unfortunate others, it was their world which had rumbled into the depths of the ferocious waters. And they lost everything, material & non material...



      2. AIERS: Many bikers went ahead and contributed their phone numbers to a database, with the promise that they shall do their best to help any stranded biker in their own city, under the All India Emergency Rescue System.

      There were obvious concerns of privacy and the risks of sharing phone numbers online. A rule change was implemented under which a certain section of the site was hidden from unregistered guests. But ultimately, some bikers decided to contribute to this database, with the intent of helping out someone in distress & emergency times.



      3. In addition, there have been many other G2G's which were aimed at helping out gifted children, visiting old age homes, etc.


      And I'm sure I'm definitely missing out on some more such achievements, blame it on my job or poor memory.

      However, Faith in humanity was the bloodline of the above attempts. And I'm glad to say that when the time was of walking the talk, then You, The Xbhp bikers were up to the task. I, on behalf of Xbhp, specially thank all of you members, for no matter how you contributed to the above events.

      Every one of us was a human first and a biker next. Similarly, we'll always have to be good humans first, and then good bikers. Its a progression and its meant to be that way.
      Another year is knocking on our door, and the above mentioned events shall become a page in the lustrous history of Xbhp. And Xbhp shall continue being so much more than "just a page" on the web, or just a mag on the stall. Xbhp will continue being a family.
      And I'm pretty sure, we will continue being humans first and bikers next. Thank you, Xbhpians.
      ---
      Brotherhood, Rules, Freedom. Xbhp.
