Vintage wheels vroom through South Goa on Republic Day

OLD SPICE

Commemorating India's 75th Republic Day, the '1st Vintage Riders Rally', saw the participation of over 40 vintage bikes -- most of which were over 30-years-old -- in a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours.

BIKER TALK

The bike enthusiasts exchanged stories, debated models and shared their passion for classic bikes.

AND, THEY'RE OFF!

Filled with patriotic fervour and excitement, the vintage bike rally was flagged off from Velim, South Goa. The rally took the riders through Chichinim, Navelim, Benaulim, Varca and Orlim.

ALL-IMPORTANT

The event organisers emphasised that it was compulsory for all the participants to wear helmets.

ODE TO A BYGONE ERA

Seen in the rally were bikes registered before 1994 -- classic bikes like Lambretta, Bajaj Sunny, RX100 -- a testament to a bygone era.

A RICH HISTORY

The rally, organised by the Velim Constituency Sports, Cultural and Eco Club, wasn't just a parade of gleaming machinery; it was a celebration of India's rich automotive heritage.

TIME TRAVEL

This Republic Day celebration in Goa was not just a display of vintage two-wheelers; it was a journey through time.
