    Coincidence!

    @Sunny: What a coincidence? I have been looking for this World Motorcycle Day this past half and hour through google and found xbhp thread.
    And what about XBHP DAY? If we don't have one yet, we can perhaps fix the day xbhp started. What do you say Sunny? Perhaps the Mods and the XXX team can have an official disucssion on this.


    @all: Any idea of the Indian Motorcylce Day or International Motorcycle Day?

    I am still searching....

      Logically TODAY (24th November) should be the World Motorcycle Day, today is the B'day of Motorcycle inventor Sylvester Howard Roper

        Great research vipin_s!

        I guess we should really celebrate 24th November as "WORLD MOTORCYLCE DAY".

        Perhaps xBhp should initiate this event and let the world (including the UN) take notice of this dedication and respect to Sir Sylvester Howard Roper.

        Sunny Bhai, what do you have to say regarding this? This would be one of the coolest thing that the whole motorcycling world would take notice.

          I guess we can have two events -
          1. Indian Motorcycle day(xbhp day) - When XBHP was founded?

          2. International Motorcycle Day - 24th November?? or the day on which he first made the bike/invented??

            wow.. World Motorcycle Day... sounds very interesting and exciting. We can decide a date which is of great importance to the world and announce it as the WMD (world motorcycle day) also it would be a great thing to have a XBHP day too. Sunny listening .!!

                That's a great idea of World Motorcycle Day! A day for all the bikers around the world to celebrate. And ofcourse we can have an xBhp day too.

                  Hey guys lets stop joking

                  I seriously think would agree to 24th November to be celebrated as world's motorcycle day around the world. None of the motorcycle clubs around the world has ever celebrated this occassion. Its up to us to promote it, to initiate it and to respect the founder of Motorcycles!

                        xbhp.com celebrates its Birthday on 26th June. Back in 2003 on this day Mr Sandeep Gajjar a.k.a Sunny had registered this domain name.
                        We at Pune and Mumbai did celebrate the xbhp birthday last year.It was xbhp's 6th Birthday.

                          if there is really no world bike day.. then we should decide on one date. probably we should put up a vote

                              Wow! looks like somebody has been keeping track of this thread...

                              But whats so special about 14th May 2010 date? Didn't find anything related to Motorcycles. Any input from your side Gravity?

                              I thought World Motorcycle Day will be celebrated ALL OVER THE WORLD with a common understanding and a date choosen by all Motorcyclist around the world. If not all motorcyclist, at least all the associations, clubs leaders would contribute.

                              Anyway, looks like a gud day for Meghalaya xBhpians. Though we might not be celebrating on the 14th but surely this 15th May. wooo hoooo another reason to celebrate and party!

Since xbhp is already an influential biking fraternity in India, you guys could create a day yourself as National Motorcyclist Day and keep celebrating over the years until the day gets serious national recognition.

                                Like in the USA May is the National Bike Month for bicyclists...The internet also tells me about a World Naked Bike Day that last happened on 14 June, 2008.

                                A little info about this wierd event from the internet...
                                During World Naked Bike Day, in cities around the world, people will be riding naked to celebrate cycling and the human body. The ride demonstrates the vulnerability of cyclists on the road and is a protest against oil dependency and car culture. The first World Naked Bike Ride was held on 12 June 2004 when 58 cyclists rode naked through London's Hyde Park. The police were tolerant and there were no arrests, and the public enjoyed the event. At the Hyde Park ride, nearly a dozen clothed cyclists were inspired to disrobe spontaneously and join the leisurely nude ride. The event has continued to grow in popularity and in 2007 1,000 people rode through London.

                                Hahaha. IMHO even though I am aware of this, the way the snippet is described. LMFAO. People are waiting to disrobe anywhere.

                                Cheers!

                                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                                The girl said, 'NO!'


                                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                                THE END
