'Punjabi Riders Australia' group consists of like-minded motorcycle enthusiasts who love to ride motorbikes including but not limited to Harley Davidson, Suzuki and Indian brand motorcycles. With over 25,000 followers on its Facebook page, the group aims to create awareness about the basic safety practices while riding a motorcycle.


Melbourne-based Sharpy Bath from the 'Punjabi Riders Australia' Motorcycle group told SBS Punjabi that their club's mission is to promote social cohesion through its group activities, while also dispelling the misconception that motorcycling is a 'dangerous activity'.

“Motorcycles are iconic and versatile vehicles that are loved worldwide, but i feel in the western world, they enjoy the popularity mainly as vehicles for recreation.”

“While it's also considered as a dangerous hobby, following some basic road rules can make it as safe as driving a car," he said.
