Not only are their festivals a large gathering of Royal Enfield riders from across the country, but also a display of the true essence of motorcycling culture. Covering anything and everything a motorcyclist would like or enjoy, Rider Mania has now been aptly renamed Motoverse. So I had relatively high hopes from my first ever Motoverse event, and from the moment I landed in Goa, I was handed the keys to the all-new Himalayan, which had me grinning already! Even though we stayed relatively close to the venue, I often found the longest route possible to enjoy the new Himalayan as I rode to Hill Top. All eyes were on me since the new Himalayan was yet to be launched, and many enthusiasts would often discuss what the new Himalayan was. Their ears would perk up to the sound of any positive feedback. You could tell they were waiting to get their hands on it even though what they were riding was quite different from what the Himalayan is about.
