On a chilly morning of December 18, we at Biking It To Create Happiness gathered at Kamat Upachar at Dobbaspet to set up the venue for our most awaited 2nd anniversary celebration: Vibhaya - Respond. Revive. Rejoice
The clock ticked fast and with the same speed we set up the place to welcome over 200 bikers who were about to join us for a session on Emergency Response Preparedness by Dr. Mukul Saxena
35 kilometers before Kamat Upachar were 2 of us letting groups of bikers leave in 5 minute intervals
The first group of superbikers from BEST arrived... promptly parked their bikes in the designated parking area. They were followed by bikers from Race Sport Falcons, Batallion Bikers, Team Top Enders, Biking Buddies, Bangalore Karizma Biking Club, Bangalore Bullet Club, Bajaj Avenger Club, RX Owners Club, I Ride Safe and Bikers United India... and finally... B.I.T.C.H
Registrations were in full swing with 2 distinct rows for Throttle Registrations and non Throttle registrations. Breakfast was organized for hungry bellies and while some downed the masala dosas and idlis, the others networked with fellow riders.
It was then time for the much awaited session on Emergency Response Preparedness. Dr. Mukul Saxena educated the biking fraternity on how we can make a difference to not just lives of affected victims, but the souls of those who are closely associated.
His talk was followed by a quick relevant speech on the Good Samaritan Law by Sr. Inspector of Traffic Police - G Ramesh.
We also had stalwarts and world record holders - Esha Gupta, Deepak Kamath and Balaji Mohan share their pearls of wisdom and experience on how we as bikers need to be watchful and prepared for emergencies - not only faced by other road users, but when we ride too.
The fun elements included lucky draw prizes by Police99.com & 100th and 150th registration awards by Throttle
For us at B.I.T.C.H, this event has been successful ONLY and ONLY because of the support received from all the bikers and all those who supported us through the 2 rigorous months of preparation. Special thanks to BikingSpirit Touring Equip. Fever 104 FM Bengaluru Police99.com Thirumala Pitstop Magenta Blues Designs Communications, Autokleen and last but not the least Throttle
A special mention to our Masters of Ceremony - Yasmin and Tahir, who despite being non - bikers agreed to support our cause.
We look forward to more such associations in the future.
For now, let's RESPOND - REVIVE - REJOICE
