The celebration of Navaratri revolves around the worshipping of divine feminine Durga, who defeated the buffalo demon Mahishasur. The festival of Navaratri symbolises victory over evil and also appeals to everyone to honor women power. This Navaratri let us celebrate women empowerment by applauding top Indian motorcycle riders who crushed the stereotypes and live their passion, bike riding. We live in the modern era, where women can do all tasks that men can do. It is the duty and responsibility of our society to achieve gender equality and empower all women. Gender is no longer a requirement to learn a skill or pursue a hobby. Be it sports or corporate world, or entertainment industry, women are equally treated on par with men when it comes to career growth. Even when we speak of bike riding, a woman should be supported and motivated to ride a bike. However, whether male or female, whoever rides a bike, should buy a bike insurance policy.

When you ride a bike, it is necessary to follow certain safety norms. A rider should have entire focus and awareness while riding a bike. Apart from this, use indicators and the upper dipper as and when required while riding a bike. Also, if you are going for a long ride, be sure to put on safety gear like elbow guards, jackets, etc. Be sure to get your bike maintenance done regularly. You should also avoid riding a bike in bad weather conditions. While riding, both rider and bike, you should be visible by drivers of other vehicles. Hence, try to put reflective bands on helmets or the backside of the two-wheeler vehicle.

Now let us take a look at the journey of these top Indian motorcycle riders. These riders will indeed motivate you to cover more and more road journeys in your life.

Conclusion

Indian women should get full support from their family members for bike riding. Every woman has the right to live her passion, and riding a bike is enjoyable. However, women who ride should follow safety measures like wearing helmets and abide by traffic rules. When you ride a bike, there is a possibility of a collision or road mishap where other people may be at fault. In that case, a comprehensive bike insurance policy will come in handy. It provides coverage against accidental damage to our vehicle and covers damages done to third party persons. But, that’s not at all; a bike insurance policy also provides coverage against theft or any natural calamity.
