The ride is a cherished tradition within the
ecosystem of India Bike Week, Asia’s premier motorcycling festival. IBW kicked off its 10th edition
with an adrenaline-pumping start of Chai Pakoda rides in Delhi in the month of September, marking
the beginning of this year’s much-awaited celebration of motorcycling adventure, camaraderie, and
culture. With Gulf’s association this year, the event promises to be a thrilling experience for riders
and enthusiasts alike.
The Goa Chai-Pakoda breakfast ride witnessed an impressive turnout, drawing in over 100
enthusiastic bikers from across the region. Riders of diverse backgrounds and motorcycles, ranging
from the thunderous Harleys to the nimble KTMs and Yamahas converged at The Temptation
Dabolim – 24×7 Complete Food Shop in Dabolim, where they embarked on an exhilarating 38-
kilometer journey to the Chrisander’s Resort in Quepem.
Safety remained paramount throughout the event, commencing with a mandatory ‘safety riding’
session for all registered bikers before hitting the open road. The ride also boasted the presence of
IBW Marshals, each leading a group of riders, ensuring a synchronized and secure journey for all
participants. Helmets and shoes were compulsory for all riders, while Gulf provided fluorescent
safety jackets to enhance visibility. Additionally, an ambulance stood by during the ride, ensuring
immediate medical support if needed. At the end point, participants engaged in thrilling activities,
including a push-up and burpee challenge, adding an extra layer of excitement to this memorable
ride.
Mr. Amit Gheji, Head of Marketing, Gulf Oil Lubricants India Ltd, expressed his pride in Gulf’s
