Come December and bikers from every part of the country head to Goa with one motive, to be a part of one of the biggest motorcycling festivals, the IBW or India Bike Week. For the festival that is as much about the ride as it is about the destination, all highways leading to Goa are swarmed by bikers riding all sorts of motorcycles, headed together towards IBW. Goa, which is already bustling with tourist crowd, becomes chock full of motorcycles during IBW. Be it sportsbikes, cruisers, adventure tourers or even custom-built machines, everyone makes their way to the Vagator hilltop that's home to IBW. And this time's IBW was arguably the grandest. Inside the venue, everything was all about motorcycles and motorcycling. Manufacturers, custom builders, apparel, accessories and motorcycle manufacturers
