Guys,

Next weekend ISF (5th year) is happening at Amanora Park Town (Mall).
Definitely expecting a huge turnout this year (going by last year's experience).

Team-bhpians attending as participants and/or spectators, let's network here!

I am planning to be there as a spectator. Both days.

Cheers,

Ace.

Thanks for posting this driverace! Expect my attendance on atleast one of the days. Hope to catch up with a few BHPians too.

Yes, this is a great place to experience these exotic machines up close! Also riders, there will be a handful of riding gear & utility stores putting up kiosks. Be ready to break your piggy bank!

Few observations from ISF 2014:
- Most popular SBK: Hayabusa
- High presence of HD, Triumph & Kawasaki SBKs (Coz of local showroom presence)
- Same set of vintage bikes shown YoY (Vintages are not created in a year)
- On the first day, only by afternoon the scene is ready
- Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning is the best time to visit
- Avoid peak hours as mall's parking and approach road has too much traffic
- Planet DSG, Performance Racing Store, Motoverse, Biking Superstore (X-torque) were there

Wrong time for the HD folks though. EHR around that time. People from down south may not be able to make it as much as they'd like to. Unless they plan for this. Short notice I'd say.

Hello Riders,

Buzz from ISF2015:

- Organized in a separate arena (ground) in Amanora mall
- Rs. 300 as entry fee for both days
- The above 2 points kept the unwanted crowd away!
- Still the event was crowded
- Minimal riding gear expos

- New this year: Indian Motorcycles, Motoplex (Aprilia, MotGuzzi, Vespa), Mahindra Mojo, DSK Hyosung Benelli
- Regulars HD, Triumph, DSG (Alpinestars, Suzuki), Biking Superstore (former X-torque)
- Some cool stuff stores like 100kmph.com (t-shirts) WickedRide (SBK rentals) CafeRacer (tshirts, mugs, caps, kevlar jeans & track pants!) etc.
- Girikand travels showed off their caravan
- DC Avanti was part of a detailing shop
- SBK groups: LORDS, BOLT, COPS... etc

Thanks to all SBK owners to showcase their pride for biking enthusiasts.

The Suzuki girls were a great distraction/attraction at the DSG store and one couldn't see the bikes and gear due to the crowd!

Got to see the Tarmac Street boots (price 5k) at Atmosphere India expo. They are pretty good for the price.

I bot a metal badge to pin up my jacket from 100kmph.com store. Drooled my heart out on these beautiful machines. The BMW K1300R and Honda Valkyrie Rune were my rarest spotting this year!

Both days I visited the event at night and so the pictures are not worth sharing!

Cheers,

Yours truly
