Motorcycle Escape’s Epic Journey to the Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show in the UK

Hello, fellow riders and adventurers! I’m Javed Khan from Motorcycle Escape, and I am thrilled to share the incredible story of our recent journey from India to the UK to participate in the renowned Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show. This adventure was more than just a showcase of our motorbike adventures; it was a celebration of our shared passion for riding and the friendships we’ve forged along the way.

 

The Adventure Begins in India

Our story starts in the bustling streets of Delhi, where Motorcycle Escape began preparations for the long journey ahead. As a team that sells motorcycle tours in India, we were excited to take our passion for bikes & travel on an international adventure. 

Crossing Continents

Flying with Etihad, it was an early start. We left from Indira Gandhi International Airport with excitement, ready to reach Abu Dhabi, and then onto the UK. I had my documents, UK tourist visa and travel plans all in my hands, as I set off on my adventure.

Arrival in the UK

The Royal Enfield Bullet 500 is ready to ride to the Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show event.
The Three Counties Showground space was full of amazing motorbikes and businesses.

After around 15 hours in transit, I finally arrived in the UK, eager to participate in the Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show. The UK’s scenic countryside and winding roads were a perfect prelude to the festival. Upon reaching the venue, we were greeted by a vibrant community of motorcycle enthusiasts, all eager to showcase their motorcycle enterprises.

Showcasing Our Royal Enfield Adventures

Our Motorcycle Escape stand was an amazing collection of photos, tour itineraries & videos, with our Royal Enfield Bullet 500 ready to ride!

At the Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show, our Royal Enfield Adventures drew significant attention. We had a Bullet 500 on display, and photos, videos and leaflets delving into the details of our local-led experiences. Seeing our tours admired by fellow enthusiasts was a proud moment for us.

Reunion with Old Friends

An amazing motorcycle Wizard, Martin Bembridge, had created the most spectacular custom bikes, using the trusty bullet engine as a base!
There were some lovely older models of Royal Enfield, on display by the Royal Enfield Owners Club.

One of the highlights of the event was bumping into old clients who had joined us on previous Himalayan tours. It was heartwarming to see familiar faces and hear their fond memories of exploring India by bike. They recounted tales of challenging mountain roads, serene valleys, and the unique experiences they had while riding through the Himalayas.

These reunions underscored the lasting impact of our tours. Hearing our former clients talk about their adventures and how those experiences had stayed with them was incredibly rewarding. It was a reminder of why we do what we do – to create unforgettable memories and foster a deep love for motorcycle travel.

Sharing Stories and Building Community

The Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show was not just about displaying bikes; it was about community. We engaged with talented builders, exchanged ideas, and drew inspiration from the diverse range of custom motorcycles & businesses on display. The atmosphere was electric, filled with the shared passion for riding and the art of motorcycle customization.

People who had explored India with us in the past shared their stories with new enthusiasts, sparking interest in our tours. Their testimonials and fond recollections served as powerful endorsements of the unique experiences we offer.

Reflecting on the Journey

As we packed up and prepared for the return journey, there was a sense of accomplishment and excitement for future adventures. Our journey from India to the UK had been more than just a ride; it was a celebration of the spirit of motorcycling, the friendships we’ve built, and the memories we’ve created along the way.

Participating in the Kickback Custom Classic Bike Show was the perfect culmination of our adventure. It reinforced our commitment to pushing the boundaries of motorcycle travel and sharing our passion with the world.

Looking Forward

At Motorcycle Escape, we are always looking ahead to new challenges and adventures. Whether it’s exploring the majestic landscapes of the Himalayas or crossing continents to participate in international events, our mission remains the same – to create unforgettable experiences for our riders.

We look forward to welcoming more enthusiasts on our tours and continuing to share the joy of motorcycle travel. Until then, keep the engines roaring and the spirit of adventure alive!
