Itanagar municipal council’s deputy chief Councillor and former MLA Kipa Babu today launched the website of the Royal Arunachal Riders club at Classic restaurant here amid a gathering of motorcycle riders. The website, www.royalarunachalriders.in provides information about Royal Enfield clubs and riders of the state.
In his address, Babu, who is also the proprietor of Bucho Motors, said it is an achievement to be able
to ride to different parts of the state and the Northeast region, besides to neighbouring countries like Myanmar and Bhutan.
“It used to be a difficult task for us earlier for want of service and spare parts for Royal Enfield motorcycles in the state; but it was through the persuasion of riders like Pige Ligu, Apang Welly, Vijay Sonam and others that we now have three service stations - two in Itanagar, and at Bucho Motors in Naharlagun,” he said. These days, even retired army officers and other ex-servicemen are contributing to the growth of riders’ clubs in
Arunachal through their experience and exposure, Babu said, adding that bikers’ clubs “should seek to create a pan-Arunachal identity.” Arunachal Riders’ Meet organising chairman Tanu Kamsar said the meet, aimed at promoting ‘unity in diversity’ and tourism in the state, is being held from mid-September at Kessang in East Kameng district, and that the process of registration is available on the event’s website.
