Featured Rides and Milestones of the BMR Brotherhood
From a simple 2017 Facebook post to a family of over 500 riders, this is how we live. Dive into the heart of the BMR spirit, our epic expeditions, and the community that keeps us grounded.
This is our story. It all started with a single Facebook post for a ride to Hampi in 2017 and grew into a brotherhood of over 500 riders. This video shows our journey, our milestones like conquering Umling La, and our core vision: 'പുതിയ കാഴ്ചകൾ കാണാം, പുതിയ ബന്ധങ്ങൾ സൃഷ്ടിക്കാം' (explore new views, create new relations).
Standing on top of the world at 19,300 ft. This is our crew of 14 riders after conquering Umling La in Ladakh, the planet's highest motorable road. This is the kind of epic journey and achievement that defines the spirit of BMR.
The energy is electric when BMR takes the stage. This was us at World Motorcycle Day, being recognized as 'the one and only Bangalore Malayali Riders'. The roar of the crowd and the pride of our members says it all.
There's nothing like the sight and sound of a BMR convoy. This is the power of the pack, riding in formation, a disciplined unit taking over the highways. This is brotherhood in motion.
We came, we rode, we conquered. Holding the trophy for the highest participation at World Motorcycle Day 2023. This isn't just an award; it's proof of our unity and strength as a community.
Beyond the epic trips, this is the heart of BMR. A weekend breakfast ride to Mydala Kare Lake, with the whole crew together. This is where the real bonds are forged, over shared roads and stories.
Every year, our anniversary bash gets bigger and better. This is a glimpse into the madness: a two day festival of music, games, and non stop celebration. As we say, 'Once the sun sets, BMR will rise'.
"Grasp life by the handlebars." This isn't just a slogan on our club jersey; it's how we live. This shot captures the feeling of being on the road with your tribe, ready for whatever comes next.
About Featured
You are looking at the soul of BMR. Whether it’s the disciplined chaos of our 100-bike convoy on a highway or the quiet moments after a long ride when the helmets come off, these photos show why we are more than just a club. We pride ourselves on structured ride management with dedicated leads and sweeps, so you are always safe, but the real magic is the 'puthiya bandhangal' (new bonds) we make along the way. If you are ready to trade your solo rides for a brotherhood that is 500 riders strong, start by checking out our upcoming breakfast meet-ups.
Our Story: From Hampi to the World
It all started in 2017 when a single Facebook post invited strangers for a ride to Hampi. That random weekend plan evolved into Bangalore Malayali Riders. Today, we are a 500+ member family. We are the 'manarogikal' (crazy folks) who believe in grasping life by the handlebars.
Why Ride With Us?
We are not a travel agency. We are a community. When you ride with BMR, you get:
- Structured Convoys: Every ride has a Lead, a Sweep, and Marshals. Whether we are doing a quick 80km breakfast run or an expedition to Ladakh, safety and formation matter.
- The Kerala Connection: We celebrate Onam, Vishu, and everything in between. It is not just about the motorcycles; it is about keeping our roots alive while we explore new territories.
- Proven Track Record: From our members conquering Umling La at 19,300 ft to holding India Book of Records titles for endurance, we have the experience to back our enthusiasm.
The BMR Vibe
Our motto is simple: 'Puthiya kazhchakal kaanam, puthiya bandhangal srushtikkam' (see new sights, create new bonds). We show up in force for events like World Motorcycle Day and India Bike Week because we represent the strength of the South Indian biker community. When the sun sets, BMR rises. If you are looking for a tribe that rides, supports, and grows together, you have found it.
Malayali Riders
We are Bangalore Malayali Riders—or BMR, if you are family. We started with a single ride and grew into a massive brotherhood of 500+ riders. We do not just ride for the destination; we ride for the bond, the breakfast, and the shared madness of the road.
