Ride out before the city wakes
Marine Drive, 6:00 AM. Helmets on, engines warm, chai waiting at the top of the first ghat.

Register interestOur story
Bombay Motorcycling Club began in 2015 as five riders and one shared garage in Bandra, tired of riding the ghats alone. The first official run was a rain-soaked climb to Mahabaleshwar with two punctures and no backup vehicle. We still count it as the founding ride.
Today we are 180-odd riders, from daily commuters on 150s to weekend Himalayan and Interceptor owners. The Sunday habit hasn’t changed: out before the city stirs, back before it notices we left.
A Splendor and a Panigale ride the same Sunday line. Nobody’s bike buys them the front.
ISI-marked, no exceptions. Not on the highway, not for the 2 km to the petrol pump.
The group moves at the pace of its slowest rider, and a sweep rider closes every ride.
Whatever you carry up the ghat, you carry back down. Viewpoints included.
The route log
Waterfalls hugging the road, hairpin after hairpin, home via the Mulshi backwater.
Cloud-line switchbacks and, if the timing is right, flamingos on the plateau lakes.
The founding route. Strawberry country at the top, a proper Western Ghats climb to reach it.
Waterfall country deep in the southern Konkan. An overnight halt is standard.
The long coastal highway south. Konkan Railway on one side, the Arabian Sea on the other.
Weekly meet point
Chai and vada pav after, before the city has had its coffee. First ride with us? Come 15 minutes early and find a Road Captain.
