For all the motorheads and crazy souls out there for motorcycles, the special “World Motorcycle Day” is here.

If you are planning to mark the day and register your name at the top in celebrating the day, all you need is your motorcycle and follow our suggestions listed below. You can thank us later.
Ladakh Ride
Unleash the dream ride of Ladakh! If you read this, maybe this is your sign to make it happen on the special day. If you’ve ever dreamed of riding through the Himalayas, tracing hairpin bends and navigating stark, stunning terrains, World Motorcycle Day is the perfect occasion to put that plan in motion.
Start mapping your itinerary, syncing up with rider friends, and checking off your gear checklist. And if you’re looking for the perfect motorcycle for the job, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is an excellent adventure-ready option, built for high-altitude handling and rugged conditions.
Show Some Love To your two-wheeled companion
Your motorcycle has been with you through miles and memories. What better day than this to give it some long-overdue TLC? Start with a thorough clean to remove road grime, followed by a frame rinse to restore its finish. Lubricate the chain and inspect the sprockets, polish the chrome accents and check the tyre pressure.
If you’re up for it, go a step further and tighten loose bolts, adjust the clutch and brake levers, and top off fluids. With the monsoon setting in across much of the country, this act of maintenance becomes even more important – mud, moisture, and unpredictable roads can quietly undo even the sturdiest machine. So tighten what’s loose, top up what’s low, and maybe rediscover the quiet joy of taking care of the thing that carries you forward.
Sign Up for the Himalayan Odyssey 2025
For adventure seekers, few rides are as iconic as the Himalayan Odyssey. If you are not aware of what it is, you are surely missing something serious bike adventure in your life. The leading bike maker Royal Enfield has been organising a massive bike ride, passing through the Himalayas, touching top highest peaks in the world.
Now in its 21st edition, this legendary 18-day, 2,600-km journey begins on June 28, 2025, and takes 70 riders through the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh, Spiti, Zanskar, and Umling La, the highest motorable pass in the world. Registrations are now open on the Royal Enfield website. Consider this your sign to be part of something unforgettable.
Wear your love for riding
There’s something quietly satisfying about gear that fits well, holds up in bad weather, and feels like an extension of the ride. But if there’s one thing most riders are guilty of, it’s hanging on to old gear far longer than we should. So this World Motorcycle Day, and with the monsoon rolling in, maybe it’s time for an upgrade. You don’t need much: a waterproof jacket that actually breathes, gloves with decent grip, boots that can take a splash, and a visor that doesn’t fog up at every traffic stop.
Small upgrades, sure, but they can make all the difference between a ride you enjoy and one you endure. And if you’re browsing options, Royal Enfield’s apparel collection does a solid job of keeping things dry, functional, and quietly stylish.
Watch a motorcycle classic
Prefer a quieter celebration? Settle in with cinematic tributes to the riding spirit. Go and watch some bike-related movies. And, in our list, we have included Dhak Dhak (2023), The Motorcycle Diaries (2004), and The Bikeriders (2023). These action dramas will surely give you a wider perspective about motorcycling and force you to fall in love with it even more.
