Explore India Series – Season 3 Is Here! Indian Bikers Magazine Invites Riders and Motorcycle Travellers to Share Their Stories

An Indian Bikers Magazine initiative

Explore India Series – Season 3

Your Ride. Your Story. Your Identity. Get yourself, your motorcycle and your journey featured.

Riders & Motorcycle Travellers — Your Invitation Starts Here

Every rider has a story. Every motorcycle has a journey. Every road leads to an experience worth sharing.

Indian Bikers Magazine is pleased to announce Explore India Series – Season 3, and we invite motorcycle riders, solo travellers, touring enthusiasts, riding clubs and motorcycle communities from across India to become part of it.

The series continues the spirit of our earlier seasons: discovering places through motorcycle travel and bringing real rider experiences to a wider audience. But Explore India Series has always meant more than destination coverage. It is also an opportunity for riders to introduce themselves, showcase their motorcycles, share their journeys and receive editorial and social media exposure through Indian Bikers Magazine.

This is your platform to be seen and heard. Tell the community who you are, what you ride, where you have travelled and what you have experienced. You do not need to be a famous motorcyclist or a professional content creator. If you have a genuine story and original material to share, we welcome your submission.

What Is Explore India Series?

Explore India Series is a rider-driven motorcycle travel and storytelling initiative by Indian Bikers Magazine. It brings together journeys, destinations, people and experiences from the perspective of those who travel on two wheels.

Through articles, rider profiles and selected social media features, we want to create a collection of stories that reflects the diversity of India's motorcycle community. A contribution could be about a weekend ride close to home, a multi-state tour, a challenging mountain route, a coastal escape, a cultural discovery or a long-distance expedition.

More Than a Travel Article: Get Yourself Featured

One of the key purposes of this series is to provide social coverage and visibility for riders and their journeys. We want readers to discover the person behind the helmet, the motorcycle behind the adventure and the experiences behind the photographs.

Your Rider Profile

Introduce yourself, your hometown, your riding background, interests and what motorcycling means to you.

Your Motorcycle

Showcase your motorcycle, its role in your travels, touring accessories, luggage setup and meaningful modifications.

Your Journey

Share road trips, weekend rides, long-distance tours, expeditions, favourite routes and memorable moments.

Your Riding Community

Introduce your riding club, group, travel companions or motorcycle community and the activities you undertake together.

Your Photographs and Videos

Send original travel photographs and links to videos or public posts that help tell the story of your journey.

Your Social Media Presence

Share your Instagram, Facebook, YouTube or other public profiles so readers can find and follow your work.

What Kind of Stories Can You Submit?

We welcome a wide range of motorcycle travel and rider-focused contributions, including:

• State and destination explorations: journeys through states, cities, villages, heritage locations and natural attractions.
• Weekend rides and short escapes: nearby destinations, scenic roads and practical ride experiences.
• Long-distance motorcycle touring: multi-day journeys, cross-country routes and extended road trips.
• Adventure rides and expeditions: mountain journeys, remote routes, challenging terrain and organised expeditions.
• Solo riding stories: personal experiences, planning, lessons learned and memorable encounters.
• Group rides and club activities: community rides, annual events, charity rides and club journeys.
• Rider and motorcycle features: your story, your motorcycle, your touring setup and your riding philosophy.
• International journeys: trips outside India undertaken by Indian riders, where relevant to the series.

Who Can Participate?

Participation is open to motorcycle riders and travellers across India. We welcome new riders as well as experienced tourers, solo motorcyclists, moto-vloggers, travel photographers, riding clubs and organised motorcycle groups.

You do not need to have completed a record-breaking ride or visited a famous destination. A thoughtful local ride, a first touring experience or a personal story about your motorcycle can be just as meaningful. We are interested in authentic experiences and useful details that fellow riders can enjoy or learn from.

Why We Want to Hear From You

India's motorcycle community is full of different people, motorcycles and journeys. Some riders travel across the country; others discover extraordinary places close to home. Some document every kilometre, while others simply collect memories and photographs along the way.

When these experiences are shared, they become more than individual memories. They can introduce fellow riders to new destinations, offer practical insights, celebrate motorcycle communities and encourage others to explore responsibly.

Explore India Series – Season 3 is an invitation to be part of that shared collection. It is your chance to put your name and your journey forward, introduce your motorcycle to a wider audience and connect with fellow riders through your story.
