The riders were greeted warmly and they spent an exciting three days with a lot of entertaining activities. They took part in a camping spree amidst the unending sand dunes and also took part in adventure sports like hot air ballooning and riding helicopters. Pushkar also took care of its guests with utmost grace playing the perfect host. Apart from these events, arm wrestling competitions, a fusion music-night and pre-ride motorcycle maintenance workshop was also organised.
A competition was also organised during this event where the inspiration, creativity and passion is put to test for every rider on their Harley motorcycles.

With introduction of Street 750 early this year, the Harley-Davidson lifestyle is now accessible to a wide base of motorcycle enthusiasts, as we embrace new riders to the growing community of Harley owners.”
