The Western H.O.G. Ride (WHR) 2026, hosted by the Seven-Islands Mumbai H.O.G. Chapter, concluded in Daman following a three-day celebration of motorcycling, entertainment and camaraderie. Held from September 4 to 6 at The Deltin, Daman, the event brought together 360 H.O.G. members and guests from across the country.
The weekend began with live performances by Valenciaga and Aangan, alongside a specially curated culinary experience by The Deltin featuring dishes inspired by India and international cuisines. A mixology masterclass hosted by renowned mixologist Shatbhi Basu also formed part of the opening evening.
The second day saw the focus shift to riding, with more than 80 Harley-Davidson motorcycles participating in the Harley-Davidson Ride to the Daman Lighthouse. Organised in association with Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu Tourism, the ride saw the motorcycles travel together in formation, creating a spectacle on the roads of Daman. The ride was followed by a poolside sundowner before the evening moved into comedy and music. Stand-up comedy performances preceded the event’s headline attraction, the “War of DJs”, featuring DJ Javed, DJ Gavin and DJ Willy, who brought the celebrations to a close.
According to the organisers, WHR 2026 was designed to go beyond being a conventional motorcycle gathering, combining riding with food, music and shared experiences while celebrating the H.O.G. community.
The event was supported by partners including The Deltin, Daman, Vivo, JRL Professional and Jameson Ginger Ale, among others.
The Seven-Islands Mumbai HOG Chapter Committee, comprising Carl Sequeira, Abhishek Divekar, Sanjay Pai and Sajid Ali, played a key role in planning and executing the event.
With 360 participants coming together over the weekend, WHR 2026 concluded with a focus on the friendships and camaraderie that remain at the core of the Harley Owners Group community.
