At xBhp, we have lived and breathed motorcycling for as long as we can remember. For us though, motorcycling has been about freedom so being shackled to just riding all the time is kind of against what we stand for. So we have explored other avenues to let our artistic juices flow. The xBhp HQ was dubbed the coolest workplace and it was for a while… till it wasn’t. Ever since the birth of xBhp, an all-encompassing space has been a dream.
Since being meticulous is a part of who we are, it took us a while to plan the perfect motorcycling space and being children at heart, it had to have a lot of pop-culture stuff as well. Time passed and the dream took shape, even if it was just in our minds. But as soon as we had the blueprint, the plan was set in motion and after a lot of hard work, MotoVilla was born. While the place was ready, making it into our own motorcycling and pop-culture dreamland has been a continuous process.
That was one of the reasons why we have not had a lot of visitors. Despite xBhp being community-driven, we felt that the place was just not ready. Even now, MotoVilla’s evolution is ongoing and it might remain that way forever, we believe that it is relatively ready to showcase who we and xBhp are all about.
What is MotoVilla? A mancave? A living place? An office? A dream garage? A gaming place? A library? A museum? The birthplace of great ideas and roadtrips? Or the coolest place in India if you love gadgets? If we have to be honest, it is all of that and so much more, an ever-evolving dream that takes the shape of our thoughts. It is more than mere bricks and mortar. It is the physical manifestation of our minds. You can check out the dedicated page we have built for MotoVilla for more details at xBhp.com
Back to the topic at hand, we have not had many visitors so far but that is all set to change. And the change began with the very first meetup that we organized in the MotoVilla. We got together with Lets Ryde to organize a ride to the MotoVilla so that the riders can spend time at the place exploring the various aspects, details, and intricacies of the MotoVilla. Inviting the group of riders, it felt like we were inviting them for a museum visit. And to be honest, it is not too far off the mark.
The ride was organized by Lets Ryde and a group of female riders joined us for a day at the MotoVilla. Our dream is centred around motorcycling but branching out to everything else- from pop culture to science fiction to motorsports, and so on. The riders had a gala time as almost everyone had something to look forward to. Motorcycling binds all of us riders but we all have other aspects to ourselves as well and it was good to know that the all-encompassing aspect of the MotoVilla has turned out to be true to a great extent.
This was the first ride and meetup that we have organized at the MotoVilla but it is not going to be the last one. We have had a lot of queries about when the MotoVilla would start taking visitors and we are happy to say that the time has come. We will organize more rides and meetups that we will convene at the MotoVilla so that the great community that has made xBhp what it is, gets to see what their support has helped us build.
So stay tuned to our social media channels for the announcement of more such meetups and rides and share with us the pride that we have in this community, in xBhp, in motorcycles, and in the MotoVilla.
Ride safe.
