IndiMotard: First Indian Team to compete in AND finish the 2017 Baja 1000 I am surprised that this proud moment has not been shared yet. If it has, then I am sorry that I could not find it.
I first thought of mentioning this here in this thread about IndiMotard: Indimotard - Motorcycle Tours, Track Racing & more...
But then I realized that this achievement deserves a thread of its own. Here is an article about this: Team IndiMotard Finishes 2017 Baja 1000
To compete and finish in a prestigious global event like Baja 1000 is something we all should be proud of.
I would not have been aware of this had I not had the pleasure of meeting one of the founders of IndiMotard few days back, who told me about this feat, and participated in the event. He mentioned that at the end of the race, the organizers had hoisted a huge Indian flag to welcome them. Just hearing him talk about it gave me goosebumps.
Apart from that, the passion and dedication of this person blew me away. They are still very much operational and spreading awareness about bike riding and touring on bikes. This, to me, embodies what bike riding should be about. Not iron butts.
Cheers!
