Rally at Rann of Kutch offering scenic salt marshes, plenty of picturesque riding routes and a memorable time for our fellow H.O.G members. The roads leading to one of India’s most spectacular locations elevates the profile of the state as a destination for leisure riding. We witnessed participation from over 750 Harley-Davidson riders from across India and had a great time celebrating the spirit of brotherhood and camaraderie, something that Harley-Davidson is known for all over the world. At Nine-Bridges Harley-Davidson we look forward to welcoming more riders from Gujarat to the Harley-Davidson family.”
The highlight of the evening was the signature H.O.G.® Custom Contest where riders showcased the passion, creativity and inspiration they have put into their motorcycles. On winning the custom contest, Divyaraj Sinh Rana added, “Amongst the H.O.G. members, the Custom Contest is one of the most exciting highlights of the zonal H.O.G. rallies and it gives us a great opportunity to express ourselves and unleash our passion and creativity. I am elated that the hard work I put in for the contest has paid off and that I have won the contest. While each Harley-Davidson motorcycle is unique, through customization a rider is able to express his personal ideas and impressions and create something truly exceptional.”
