16th Jan, 2014 5:00 AM in the morning, packed my camera, changed the gears and started for Goa. Covering 500km from Pune, in approx 10hrs. This was my first road trip and I knew it was going to be awesome, as I was going Goa only to attend IBW 2014

.

IBW 2014, which was happening for 2nd time, and no one can ignore the fact it is India's largest biking festivals. A two day biking festival which is festival for all biking lovers to be at one place, enjoy the awesome atmosphere of goa, enjoy the fun of riding, enjoy music with beer.

And when the festival started it not only captured the attention of all  bikers but also from people all round the world, when more than 1000 Harley Davidson bikes made a huge entrance.

The best part of the festival was Biking legends Scott Redding, Ted Simon, Nick Sander sharing there experience in biking and the record they had created.

The event was most exciting during MMX free style stunts where stunt master showed their skill  making everyone shout at top of their voice, Stunt zone also attracted huge crowd when stunt groups made their bike dance in a rhythm. Also Full Contact Championship made everyone go mad.

The festival was not only about Harley,it was about biking n bikers. Whole arena was decorated with different stalls which included vintage bikes, custom bikes, food stalls, shopping stalls and many more. It was like a heaven for a biker, as he can demonstrate the power of his bike whole day at loudest bike competition, and stunts at stunt arena, when he is tired in the evening, he could enjoy DJ playing awesome music with tasty food and beer at other hand.

The whole journey was life changing, it helped me learn a lot about biking and passion each bike rider have.

If you want to witness the tradition of Karnataka and culture of Mysore, then hold your Mysore Dusherra Jumbo Sawari Procession is the thing which you are looking for.

It is just not any other procession, it is a combination of Karnataka culture, tradition, history .   And to watch this you'll find people booking their tickets many days in advance, even if you don't have any ticket you can watch it for free...only issue is that you have to do your sitting arrangement 5 hrs prior to the event to get a decent view of parade. This is done on the last day of navratri and to watch this Lakhs of people arrived. And i was also one of them.   Whole procession starts from Mysore palace around 2.00pm and continues till 5.00pm covering 5 km long path. And on both side of the road, seating arrangement was done, but still it gets overcrowded.  Here are few pics of Mysore Dusherra 2013.
