Art of Motorcycling

The Bhawanipur Education Society College in collaboration with Royal Enfield organized-
‘The Art of Motorcycling’, an event which took place over two action-packed days at the College Turf on 21st and 22nd September 2023 from 10:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. The event celebrated not only the art of motorcycling but also emphasized the importance of safe bike riding, which brought together Royal Enfield enthusiasts like Mr. Ravi Sharma to the students. The brand showcased new motorcycles like Hunter 350, Standard 350 & Meteor 350, Classic 350 & and Royal Enfield Himalaya which allowed the students to experience revving the static bikes in the Sports arena.

On the first day of the event, participants were greeted by the ‘Spin the Wheel’ contest, where enthusiasts eagerly spun the Royal Enfield wheel, which offered them three exciting options: T-shirt painting, bike tank painting, and helmet painting. With creativity at the forefront, participants brought their imagination to life, crafting wonderful designs on their chosen canvases. The most creative entries had the opportunity to win attractive prizes and goodies from Royal Enfield, like Helmets, T-Shirts, Key chains and jerseys.
The winners of Spin the Wheel contest were:
Helmet designing: Alefiyah Haji
Bike Tank designing: Dishanu Saha
T-Shirt painting: Kavita Patel

Towards 2:00 p.m. the Free bike training school began outside the Sports arena, where female participants were encouraged to learn biking by understanding the gears of the bikes under the Trainer’s eyes. Day 1 ended with students assembling near the Turf to get a glimpse of the bikes. The excitement continued into the second day with an engaging ‘Reel Making Competition.’ This segment captured the true essence of motorcycling through storytelling and videography. A number of students engaged in creating video reels that showcased their experience while riding the bikes and also experiencing the first look of the bikes.
The event’s winners were officially announced, and the results were:
First Position: Aryan Nasim
Second Position: Latif Chopdar
Third Position: Anisha Roy Chowdhury

Throughout the event, Royal Enfield influencers shared valuable insights into safe bike riding practices, encouraging responsible motorcycling among all participants. One of the event’s central themes revolved around the empowerment of women in the realm of motorcycling, challenging stereotypes, and embracing the exhilarating freedom of the open road.

All the volunteers and the winners were given goodies like sweatshirts, helmets, etc. from Royal Enfield. Around 50+ students participated, and innumerable spectators joined, making this entire two-day event a grand success. The participants embraced ‘The Art of Motorcycling’ with the same adrenaline rush that a biking enthusiast relishes. The two-day event concluded with a profound appreciation for the open road and the great outdoors, as beautifully expressed by the Event Coordinator, Ms. Samiksha Khanduri, from the Dean’s office.
