Mumbai to Goa: 10 Royal Enfields Off the Beaten Track

We embark on the journey of a lifetime on the highway, with the cast of Royal Enfield Rider Mania 2015.

Never miss an opportunity to ride.

Simple rule in life.

So when Royal Enfield put together a group consisting of a farm owner, a restaurateur, a transport business owner, an ad-man, a Spanish lady who has travelled to 44 countries on motorcycles and others, I jumped at the chance to ride along with them.

Veteran rider and photographer Harsh Man Rai, who now heads Special Projects at Royal Enfield, had mapped out a unique off-the-beaten-track route from Mumbai to Goa.

The journey that takes us through coastal Maharashtra, sometimes with our bikes on a ferry or on the beach, literally.

The route on Day 1: Navi Mumbai - Khopoli - Kolad - Khed - Dabhol - Guhagar.

Here’s what’s happening on Instagram for the Bullet Rider Mania

Day 1 of coastal ride ends. Had a great ride on the continental GT, which proved to be more fun than I thought. The lovely ghar roads worked great in combination with the motorcycle. And this is the hashtag we want you to add to your ridermania photos. Wrote this out at the Guhagar beach. @thatscoop_official @vikrantshanbhag1 @thequint @jaskirat_sb @parsahiya @aliciasornosa @harshmanrai @ketankundargi @parakram_h #bulleteers #bullet #royalenfield #xiaomiyi #bikersofinstagram #bikeexif #whyweride #indiapictures #ironandair #lonelyplanetindia #dothedew #incredibleindiaofficial #vscoindia #_soi #inspiredtraveller #indiapictures #indiaig #meandmymotorcycle #motorcyclesofinstagram #motorcycledreams #discovertheroad #royalenfieldmotorcycles #braveharbor #ridermania @royalenfield

And the ride goes on, through the twists of the ghats and on the ferries between them. @thatscoop_official @vikrantshanbhag1 @thequint @jaskirat_sb @parsahiya @aliciasornosa @harshmanrai @ketankundargi @parakram_h #bulleteers #bullet #royalenfield #xiaomiyi #bikersofinstagram #bikeexif #whyweride #indiapictures #ironandair #lonelyplanetindia #dothedew #incredibleindiaofficial #vscoindia #_soi #inspiredtraveller #indiapictures #indiaig #meandmymotorcycle #motorcyclesofinstagram #motorcycledreams #discovertheroad #royalenfieldmotorcycles #braveharbor #gwalior #ridermania @royalenfield
