IBW 2017 took place this year in Goa on 24th and 25th Nov in Vagator. A very popular event and attended by bikers from all over the country. Unfortunately amongst all the good there has to be some bad apples which will spoil it for everyone else.
Apparently a moto vlogger from Mumbai, saw a Z800 in some form of yellow paint detail. Now he goes on to take pics of the bike, post it on his instagram and comment negatively about it (apparently using very profane language). Now the owner of the bike and his friends did not like it and they made their displeasure known. The moto vlogger apparently deleted his post and went there to apologize when they assaulted him and made him apologize to the bike.
TO. THE. BIKE.
Seriously? I understand about love for your bike and so on and so forth but to this extent? People need to chill out. What would they have done if they had parked their bike elsewhere back in their hometown and someone took a pic and commented negatively about it? Track down everyone who does so and abuse them? Not everyone will agree with what you like. Having said that, the moto vlogger should also know that just because he finds it disgusting doesn't mean everyone else does too. It works both ways. But why the violence? Resorting to violence removes any standing you have about your opinion.
I follow a YouTube moto vlogger who goes by the name Bulu Biker. As far as I have seen, he is a level headed chap with a down to earth talk. Watch him talk about this incident.
Edit: 30th Nov 2017. Pune Mirror had a front page report on it and IBW organisers have stated that the bike owner and another attacker have been banned from IBW.
