• Assam Bikers’ Club 

As the name suggests, Assam Bikers’ Club (ABC) is based in Assam. They’re a mixed group of motorcycle riders with a passion to open up their land to the world. Generally, the largest motorcycle riding clubs are the RE ones, but that’s what sets ABC apart. Everyone’s allowed. The group has risen to fame thanks to a number of brand sponsorships and event management contracts. 

• Mumbai Musafirs 

The Mumbai Musafirs was (and still is) one of the most professionally-run motorcycle clubs in India. There’s an admin panel, support staff, planning staff and accounts staff, along with a marketing team that make sure that the overall operations run as smoothly as a well-oiled chain.

• 60kph

60kph is an all-India motorcycle group founded in 2002. The group ethos revolves around smaller groups and long distances. The minimum ride distance is 500km, so it’s going to be tough for a newbie to step into 60kph without some experience.

• Teesta Thumpers Motorcycle Club 

In case you’re still wondering, West Bengal is very much a hotbed of motorcycling activity. Key to this is the state’s proximity to the North-East, and hill stations like Darjeeling, Kurseong and others, which until recently were only considered honeymooners’ haunts. Teesta Thumpers was founded in 2013, and since then, has organised and participated in almost every major motorcycling meet in India. As the name suggests, you will need to purchase a Royal Enfield to participate in their events. 

• Nagaland Motorcycle Club 

Nagaland is one of the most beautiful states in India, and to know all about the state, follow the Nagaland Motorcycle Club. This group of tough and rugged riders was founded in 2010, and if you scroll through their news updates, you’ll see how much they’re doing to promote tourism in the state. Most of their rides require expert-level off-roading skills, by the way 

• Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club

The Bangalore Jawa Yezdi Motorcycle Club is a vintage enthusiasts’ club founded in Bangalore in 2008. Over the years, they have added thousands of followers and active riders to their social and off-line channels. They also organise events to celebrate the history of Jawa Motorcycles, an iconic brand that swept teenagers off their feet in the 60s and the 70s. If you own a Jawa and are looking for a spare part that’s long gone out of production, BJYMC is your best bet. They have chapters across the country, but they’re based in Bangalore.

• Bajaj Avenger Club 

Not to be confused with Bajaj’s Avenger Gods, the Bajaj Avenger Club is a self-sufficient guild of Avenger riders founded a decade ago. The first chapter started in Bengaluru, and they have now expanded all over the country. The Bajaj Avenger Club is a brand-loyal club, and their rides have some of the highest attendances in India. When there’s a BAC ride, you’ll see hundreds of their bikes trundling along, expertly piloted by experienced riders. 

• Inddie Thumpers 

Inddie Thumpers is a Bullet-only motorcycle group that was founded in 2001, back when riding for pleasure was almost unheard of. Over the years, the Inddie Thumpers clan grew big, and soon they started organising events. IT has held the Rider Mania twice, in 2005 and 2010, and that’s considered a great honour for a motorcycling club. They’re spread all across the country and abroad.

• Dukes of Nagpur 

Nagpur, the centre-point of India, is also a huge hub of motorcycling activity all throughout the year. One of the biggest clubs in Nagpur is DON, a KTM-centric motorcycle riding fraternity that has made off-roading it’s own. The group is led by an expert team of medical professionals and other highly-experienced people and is the go-to club for all new riders in Nagpur. 

• Palampur Bikers Club 

The Palampur Bikers Club was founded in 2010 by a group of adventure enthusiasts in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. Over the years, they’ve expanded operations into the tourism business. Along with that, PBC also supports a number of key initiatives for better tourism and a cleaner environment. This is one biking club you have to check out the next time you visit Himachal Pradesh. 

• Warriors Motorcycle Club 

A relatively new player, Warriors Motorcycle Club is a Royal Enfield-only biking group with chapters in Mumbai, Pune and Vadodara. The group was formed in 2016 and has started to gain attention because of their high-quality riders and their strong support of social causes. 

• Call Of Riders Biking Club 

CORBC for short, the Call of Riders Biking Club was actually formed by colleagues (later best friends) who worked at the same organisation. The group consists of like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts who ride everything under the sun. The best part about CORBC is their iconic ride start signal, which is a tune played by honking their horns. 

• Lady Riders of India 

If you’re new to the biking scene, then you should definitely read up on one Dr.Maral Yarzaloo-Pattrick. Let’s just say she’s the hardest lady rider ever to kick-start a motorcycle. She holds a world record for clocking the most kilometres on a single bike (250,000). And when she starts her own all-female club, you know it’s special. Lady Riders of India, founded in 2016, in Pune, is exclusively for female riders who own big bikes (650cc and above). 

On the whole, we’ve barely scratched the surface when it comes to listing the best motorcycling clubs in the country. But you need to realise that the best motorcycling club in the world is one that lets you be who you are, and rides at a pace you’re comfortable with. Whether it’s big or small, a good motorcycle club is made up of good people. And that’s what counts.

Many people go to the extent of customising their vehicles by decorating them with flashy stickers and other types of add-ons. At times, the affection carries over to the interiors, when owners go all out decking out their vehicles as lavishly as possible. There was a time when one had to make all the upgrades to the paint job, upholstery and the overall cosmetics of their vehicle by sweating away in a workshop for hours, trying to get it right. Now, however, you can buy cars and bikes accessories all online.

Here’s our list of the most useful interior and exterior accessories for cars and bikes. 

Recommended Story – Buying tyres online- A Bliss!!

• Pillow Neck Rest

Pillow neck rests are great if you drive for more than a 100 km a day. They can be fixed to the back of the driver and/or passenger front seat. A pillow neck rest is made out of soft fibre material and should offer firm support to the area behind the neck. The best ones are covered with nylon or a sweat-absorbent material. 

• Glass Cleaning Tablets 

A glass-cleaning tablet is a lot like dry soap powder. All you need to do is to mix it with water, and you have a detergent solution. Normal window shampoos make quite a mess. Glass cleaning tablets are easier to store, and can be used in any weather. They work well on motorcycle headlight covers, helmet visors and rear-view mirrors, too 

• Fast Charger

A fast charger is compatible with most phones that use adaptive charging. This protects your phone from heating up while charging. Car chargers also come with a number of USB slots, so you can charge other gadgets, or plugin a travel adapter with multiple outlets if you have more than one phone. While purchasing one, make sure you go for a branded one. A short-circuit will be disastrous.

• Portable Vacuum Cleaner 

 Portable Vacuum cleaners do a great job of keeping your car’s interiors spic and span. While purchasing one, make sure you get the longest possible power cord and at least two flexible heads. The longer power cords make it easy to reach under the seats and in spaces otherwise inaccessible. Flexible hoses let you clean dust and dirt under your doormats. 

• Seat Organisers 

An organiser can be fixed to the back of a car seat. It has a number of pockets and zipped attachments where you can store essentials like medicines, water, and emergency rations. It can also be used for storing your documents, and baby supplies– if you like going on long drives with your family. 

• Tank Bags 

Tank Bags are a great way to carry all your essentials while on a long bike ride. They come in various shapes and sizes. Depending on your motorcycle, they can be attached magnetically or with straps. While buying tank bags, select something that comes with protective flaps — it protects your tank from scratches while mounting and removing the bags. Tank bags should be big enough to store your helmet and must be waterproof. 

• Motorcycle Side Bags 

Motorcycle side bags are also called saddlebags. They come handy if you’re a long-distance rider. While buying one, make sure you go for a design that has as few straps as possible. Too many straps will run the risk of fouling with the rear wheels. There have been cases when the bags have actually caught fire because of friction due to fouling with the wheels. 

• Motorcycle Top Cases

If you want to do away with soft motorcycle luggage, a top case is a good idea.  A top case is a rigid suitcase that fits firmly on the rear end of a motorcycle. Top cases generally come with their own mounts. Some even have in-built coolers, warmers and lights. They’re quite expensive but are tough, sturdy and weather-proof. You will need practice riding with a top-case, though. 

• Aftermarket Palm Grips 

Holding a motorcycle throttle grip is a technique most overlook. You need to slide your palm to speed up. Most riders, on the other hand, tend to ‘choke’ the grip, hurting their fingers in the process. Thankfully, there are a lot of gel-filled motorcycle palm grips out there that absorb all the force and prevent pain. 

• Raised Handlebars 

Most adventure bikes come factory-fitted with raised handlebars. That’s because the more upright your riding posture, the easier it is to cover long distances. Raised handlebars maintain this upright posture by keeping your elbows at a near-90-degree angle to your torso. This reduces lumbar muscle strain. 

• Reflective Stickers 

Retro-reflective decals look great at night, and also make night drives and ride safer. When the headlights from a vehicle in front of or behind you bounce off a reflective sticker, the retro-reflective properties of the material illuminate it. This increases your visibility to other motorists. 

• Hazard Lights 

Hazard lights are useful while riding information or when visibility is low. Remember, there’s a much higher chance of being rear-ended than actually smashing into a vehicle in front. Hazard lights are operated by a segment-switched LED controller, so you don’t need to replace your lights. They’re best installed on turn indicators, as they consume the least power. 

• Magnetic Sunshades 

Magnetic sunshades are lined with a permanent magnetic material that fixes on to the window sill of a car. When fixed firmly, a magnetic sunshade can be used even when the windows are lowered. They’re best used in the rear-side windows, as they also provide privacy and protection from the elements. Some are waterproof, too.

• LED DRLs

DRLs or Daytime Running Lights make a car stand out during the day and at night. You see, the human eye detects brighter objects faster than dull ones. Hence, a brightly-coloured DRL, if placed appropriately, will make your vehicle easily detectable in the day and at night. DRLs are made out of LED strips and can be used for cars and bikes alike.

• Bluetooth Hands-Free Mics

Since answering a phone call, no matter how urgent, is illegal in India, a Bluetooth hands-free device may do the trick. It plugs into the power socket of a car, and when paired with your phone, streams calls and messages through a pair of speakers (from the sound system that comes installed in every car). Some BT devices also come with their own speaker systems and are small enough to be carried home. 

• Bluetooth Speakers

Bluetooth speakers are a great way to listen to music while riding a motorcycle. All you need is a mount, which you can either fabricate or purchase online. Mounting them on the tank is the best option.  Make sure that the speakers are waterproof and light enough to be carried home. You should also be able to charge them using the portable mobile charger power outlet. 

• Steering Covers 

If you have small hands, you may have a problem gripping the steering wheel firmly. Since changing the whole steering wheel is a costly fix, a much cheaper option is to fix grippy steering wheel covers. Good wheel covers are made out of rubber and have ribs and spikes, much like soccer boots. Some are perforated, too. They’re available at most accessory shops, and can also be purchased online. 

While accessorising your vehicle, make sure you’re quite clear about what the law says you can and can’t do. Check out the latest amendments to the Motor Vehicle Bill. Generally, any modification that goes over and above manufacturer specs is considered illegal. This means no air horns, no tinted windows (especially the blacked-out ones), oversized wheels, or aftermarket exhausts. While most accessories merely tune up the looks, many turn out to be quite useful. We always recommend function over form.

If you are a thrill-seeking off-roader, the remote control technology by Land Rover would grow your happiness manifolds. Land Rover has always been one of the best when it comes to off-road vehicles. It has always been a pioneer in terms of off-roading technology. Akin to the pattern of its thinktank, which is outside the box, it plans to empower you with the technology to control your vehicle remotely, i.e, from outside of your boxy car.

The remote control technology by Land Rover would ease the process of extricating your favourite land cruiser from messy situations. The remote control would allow you to drive it at a low speed (up to 4 kilometres per hour). The idea is behind the innovation is clear – your life is more valuable, so you first save yourself by moving out of your vehicle. Secure yourself and then try the manoeuvres to rescue your vehicle from the boggy hole.

The other major advantage would be that a better view of the situation, and moreover, you would not feel the usual tension or pressure and would be able to make optimum decisions.

How does it work?

Unlike merely a parking feature, which is already on offer by some of the competitors the upcoming Defender would let you allow steering, braking, and throttle. When this feature finally rolls out, you would most probably be able to control the Defender by your smartphone itself or a key fob. It, however, like its competitors would have to go through a lot of red tapes and inspections to finally let you be able to show it off to your peers.

Defender’s 3D Scout system projects a virtual image of the vehicle, path and the surroundings on the screen which generally serves the purpose of info-entertainment. The automotive giant is also considering to let car owners live-stream the footage of their journey and upload it to the cloud itself via Defender’s online pack and EVA 2.0 electrical architecture.

According to Stuart Frith, the Chief Product Engineer of Land Rover, this technology to remotely control your vehicle is “a good idea.” According to him, this technology would be an excellent add-on feature for overlanding and off-roading manoeuvres. The driver, in a way, can become his own spotter, which would aid him immensely to tackle tricky terrains. According to Frith, the car is quite capable of adapting to remote control technology. This technology would be an extension of the existing Defender’s 3D Scout system.

Most probably, one will be able to get his/her hands on this latest Defender by late 2020. According to the sources in Land Rover, it is then that they would like to launch this vehicle in India.
