The crowds are pouring in by the dozen and we should soon reach the same level of excitment that we saw over the course of day one. 

Rage Motorsports have brought their dirt buggies to India Bike week 2014. Imposing and quite tough, they are believed to be as agile and fast as many of the two-wheeled beauties that are on display today. 

A new electric two-wheeler has just been unveiled. Dubbed the Nisarga, it is powered by a 36 Volt electric motor and can hit a top speed of 40kmph. stay tuned for pictures and details.

Now,our team is interviewing Ted Simon who is a noted journalist from Britain. He is sharing his experiences about his journey when he circumnavigated the globe twice on a two-wheeler.

He tells us that motorcycling is just a means of exploring and seeing the world. He surely inspired us to look at riding motorcycles in a whole different way. Be it solo or in a group its the spirit what counts.

Now that's what you call a good fight. Visitors to India Bike Week throng the ringside as they watch two boxers  get ready for a bout at the Full Contact Championship.

Here's a Monkey Bike and the rider seems to be doing just what the name suggests -Monkeying Around!

It is the last few hours of the India Bike Week 2014 and the evening is already turning wild. One can see bikers ride their machines around the arena, some of them revving their bikes for that extra hint of crazy. The music is perfect and as the day draws to a near, the crowds entering the arena can be seen swaying to the tunes, taking in the last few hours of the what is called the Woodstock of biking.
