BOBMC Rider Mania 2008

The Brotherhood of Bulleteers Motorcycling Consortium (BOBMC) is a collective of Royal Enfield motorcycle clubs from across India and beyond. Founded on the shared spirit of brotherhood, adventure, and the love for the thump of a Bullet, BOBMC brings together riders from all walks of life. Every year, member clubs host Rider Mania, a mega meet-up that rotates locations, where bikers gather to celebrate rides, stories, friendships, and the essence of motorcycling.

Rider Mania 2008 – Rider Mania 2008 was hosted by The Wanderers from Hyderabad, and it was held inside Ramoji Film City. Around 400 of us showed up. No big crowds, no over-the-top setups — just riders who really wanted to be there.

The location was different. We weren’t on some beach or in the hills — we were surrounded by film sets and open roads inside the city. But it worked. We had space to ride, pitch tents, hang out, and do what we do best — talk bikes, laugh, and ride.

The best part? It was still raw. No frills. No pressure. Just the early days of Rider Mania when it felt more like a gathering than a festival. People helped each other out, shared whatever they had, and nobody cared how fancy your bike was — just that you rode it there.

Looking back, those moments stay with you. Sitting around doing nothing, fixing a clutch cable with someone, or riding into the night — that’s what made it special.
