“This is an opportunity for us to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the state. This event is also an opportunity for the Royal Enfield Riders of Sikkim to come and experience the cultural side of the riding community and understand the strong brotherhood bond,” he said.
The State Tourism has been guiding and helping the club for its grand success.
Registration will be done online only through the website of the club, www.northeastridersmeet.in and the link shall also be provided in the FB page of North East Riders Meet.
“The participant turnaround for this event is expected to be huge but due to geographically challenging terrains and lack of big open space we have planned to restrict the registration to 1200 maximum including the organising club,” he added.
The press conference was also attended by general secretary, Vincent Targain and executive members, Kailash Thapa, Amrit Raj Koirala and Moses Rai.
The three-day long meet will have different biking activities, ride to nearby cultural and tourism interested sites of the venue, performances by bands and other series of activities.
