RiderMania, the annual gathering of Royal Enfields. This is the fourth RiderMania since its inception and the second one I attended in a row (RM 2005 was in Bombay, and hosted by the Indie Thumpers).

During Jan 21 – 24, 2006
Destination: Casurina Bay, ECR, Chennai

RiderMania 06 was hosted this year by the Madras Bulls at Casurina Bay a resort on the East coast road between Chennai and Pondycherry. The event for the first time took place over 3 days. Day 1 and 2 were reserved for the normal partying and day 3 was a Royal Enfield track day (more information and pics in the next story).

Rider Mania this year was very relaxed with not much activity other than drinking by the sea and partying late into the next mornings. We had a great time on all three days. RTMC had a strong attendance there with almost 50 members showing up at the venue.

Wanderlust, the club from Nagpur has decided to host the next RiderMania.

Here are a few snaps from the first two days of Rider Mania.
