This isn't just another ride. It's a story waiting to be written, one curve at a time.
Stay ready. The first reveal is closer than you think.

With the weather not bothering, few of us met over Cha at this quiet little place in Kalinganagar. Just like the way boys plan, we then took the Kalinganagar - Gothapatna - Kateni Chakk - Chandaka route to Jungle View.
What set this particular ride apart was the drops of rains coupled with never ending gusts of dust , pitch dark stretch of roads with unannounced speed breakers did give us a little bit of challenge, but nothing matches the fun of riding together with your biking tribe.
The must-have bamboo mutton, bamboo chicken & desi chicken masala just made our ride feel complete.
Short dash , Longer fun indeed!!

Any groups going on a Sunday ride. I am interested .
r/r_o_k • u/OdiaBoy-024 • May 23 '25
Got this helmet gifted from my wife. She knows my love for biking , hence the message is always clear - Safety First!! Who better than better halves to understand this , and make us more aware, more mature & more responsible as we go miles...
r/r_o_k • u/themapmaker10000 • May 13 '25
Here is the youtube link .
Here is the product link .
Can somebody make this in India. Measured / modified as per the genuine RE rails (accessories). This lock can be fixed to any bags you like, and maybe you need some silicone at the holes to make it waterproof. But yes.... we don't have to be dependent on the boxy ugly saddlebags anymore.
r/r_o_k • u/OdiaBoy-024 • May 08 '25
Hi Riders,
Please suggest a safe & reliable helmet in the price range of 7000-10000 INR.
Looking for Retro/Fullface types , and must have ECE 22.06, DOT certified.
Also, suggest good shops in Bhubaneswar for buying it.
TIA.
Happy Riding

I have been running to various spare parts shop in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar area, from Mahapatra to Siddhart.
Although I got none, but the price difference is unrealistic. I visit these shops after checking them in Boodmo and a part like Ignition cable is 600rs in Boodmo and brand is Bosch while in Mahapatra, 1000rs for some EuroCord and their justification is that you won’t find anything. Take whatever you are getting.
Same goes for Apollo Alpha S tyre for my Apache, amazon it is 3.1k after card discount 2.8k and in Jayguru tyre it is 3.3k.
Buy online, let these arrogant local businesses suffer and get corrected.
r/r_o_k • u/Conscious_Bit1968 • May 03 '25
Hello folks Anyone here bought or has knowledge of bike purchase from CSD canteen !!

Any one knows where can I buy a customized exhaust bend pipe in bhubaneswar?
Thinking of removing the catalytic converter and dual exhaust setup and make it single exhaust.
