What is RMX?

It all began when a small number of bullet enthusiasts gathered and started bullet clubs in different cities all over the country. These clubs were individual entities comprising of passionate individuals riding Royal Enfield motorcycles. This was the nation’s only motorcycling community which saw motorcycling as more than just an inexpensive way to commute.

The idea stemmed from the need to get all the bullet clubs in the country under one roof. An idea that was welcomed by the motorcycling community. Rider Mania 2003 first held in Goa started off with just 70 bikers. Over the years this figure has gone up to over 635 bikers attending Rider Mania 2009 in Ooty. RM sees riders of different ages and from different backgrounds all sharing the same passion of riding Bullets.

RM is the greatest and the biggest Bullet festival in India where bikers all across the country ride to meet fellow riders. It’s an event which has turned into a tradition. A tradition which usually sees most of us planning our leaves well in advance. Skimping on leaves so we may have some spare to ride to RM.

RM has grown explosively over the years and spread like wildfire throughout the Bullet community, purely through word of mouth and the efforts of the organizing club to further push the event to the next level. Rising from the grass roots to the multi-sponsor large scale arrangements seen at RM09 in Ooty, shows the support the motorcycling community has given to Rider mania.

Inddiethumpers is ushering in a new era in Indian motorcycling events with RM X. RM X already has over 500 confirmations even before registration started. In the months to come we expect this number to grow exponentially as we near the actual event date. We envisage this event to become the benchmark for all other biking events in the country in the coming years.

When is RMX?

RM X is happening at the beginning of the new-year, on the 23rd and 24th January 2010. Or as most of would like to call it in Mumbai, perfect riding weather. The sun will be like honey on the trees, afternoon goes on all day, and the giant spike in excitement will go on.

Perfect time to wake up, put on your riding gear and thump towards maximum city, attaining Nirvana on the open roads with your beloved machine, ride on to RM-X!!!

Who is gonna be there?

Bullet clubs from across the country. Well known clubs and a lot of new ones which have mushroomed up over the years.

Plus individual Bullet riders passionate about riding motorcycles designed at the time we Indians got our independence. Riders who would ride a 100kms just for a road side chai in the middle of the night just cos they feel like riding motorcycles that ooze character. The ones that many of us refer to as ‘our women’. Motorcycles that suddenly decide to break down in the middle of a lone desolate highway just so we could get under their skirts and get our hands greasy.

WHY would anyone want to ride across the country?

COS WE CAN!!!
COS WE WANT TO!!!
COS WE WANT TO BE THERE FOR THE BIGGEST FAMILY REUNION IN THE COUNTRY!!!

So if you wanna be a part of it, be there.

WHERE is RMX happening?

Vikramgad (Sajan), situated in the lap of Sahyadri mountains; is a gateway to the rich heritage and culture of Maharashtra; surrounded by exotic valleys and thick forests. The distance from Mumbai is 120 kms - 30 kms from Manor [South-East] off National Highway 8 [Mumbai – Ahmedabad highway].

Through the lush green dense forest, ride off the road to get to the event all surrounded with special and rare species of trees. Breathe fresh air and stay in the wilderness close to nature to know what it feels to be a real biker. So get ready to rough it out.

It is definitely not a hotel it is much more than a run-of the mill location offering unspoiled nature. The teak forests and the waterfall which offers thrilling adventure. Botanical garden with more than 500 species of trees, shrubs, plants. Organic farm that grows organic papaya, coconut, bananas and all kinds of vegetables like cauliflower, dudhi, cabbage. Gardens and landscaped areas abound in this property. There are Warli paintings on various mediums with seasonal fruits and vegetables and woven baskets and to add with a local touch of mouth watering Traditional Maharashtrian style food .Spread across 25 acres a typical wadi with a village home feel.

Accommodations will be mostly in dorms and tents provided by the Nature Trails. There are however some rooms which will be allotted to couples and families on a twin sharing basis.

We are gonna be in the middle of a forest so the weather is going to be cold and ideal for drinking lots of beer and spending time with your biker brothers.
No matter what the forecast is – BRING WARM CLOTHES.

Put it back together put on the fuel kick start roar the engine and there you go. Any monkey with a spanner can take a bike apart but putting it back together again is a skill. And putting it back together again flawlessly and fast is an art. This event would test how good an artist your team is.

Treasure Hunt

Bikers on the road ride to a destination but bikers in the jungle ride to the clues. Clues, which leads to the next and the one after that. No time for a smoke break. You are racing against the time and other teams who are heading towards the leads. Find the road, get the clues and cross the rivers all on your bike to get the treasure.

Party Night (DJs, Rock Bands)

Do we even need to explain this to you?

Bike Olympics

Sportsmanship, competitive edge, pushing over the limits, team spirit. These are the just one among few thing which would be exhibited for winning this event but more importantly you would see brotherhood in between the competing teams, rare isn’t it? Yeah, but we see it every time.

Modified Bikes Display

Shiny chrome beauties basking in the glory of hundreds of admiring fans. Months and months of working on the mechanicals, designing, color, accessories, graphics and optimum tuning. All this is put to test for evaluation in front of knowledgeable panel of judges. One among the most prestigious award every technically inclined biker would like to win.

Time Trials

Goodies & Spares Auction

EBay is for shmucks and we really can’t afford to go to Sotheby, so we’ll do it our way. Get a spare bag with you because you will go back with it full and heavy with spares and goodies for your bike and yourself. Don’t worry too much about the money, you don’t need that much for bidding here. Indulge in some retail therapy with us bikers.

Club Presentations

More than 20 clubs under one roof. Some brothers we know and some we would like to know better. Club presentations would help us with that.

Hours of operation

Beer and Ciggi Shop

Like most festivals, RM - Xs has a bar, it's called The Inddie Bar. And the SMOKE UP cigarettes shop.
The Inddie Bar is open from 11:00 Am to 2 PM and 6 PM to 10 PM
Cigarettes shop would be open through the day till the events are on.

Get prepared

Yes, you certainly will need to pack your bags put on your riding shoes, check your bikes don’t forget your bike papers and the list of spares to carry before you are set to ride on to the biggest biker event happening in the country. Have a look through the list below. ‘Nature trail's’ is a place in the middle of wilderness and we would recommend you to get your tanks filled at the nearest fuel station at Manor 30 Kms from the venue.
