February 14, is famous for a celebration of a certain emotion, here in SNS we wanted to create a new meaning for it. First, ever Biker Rally of SNS was organized on Feb 14 by SCD Department. The Rally was conducted for two reasons
- To donate books to Govt School Students
- To promote safe driving skills by following Traffic Rules.
Radio Jockey Mr.Guru and our SNSCE Principal flagged off the Rally. Bike enthusiastic were fully geared up for the event. Several kinds of bikes made the event colorful – Royal Enfield, Pulsar, Dominar, Yamaha and many more. As a surprise entry, Ms. Daffodil made all eyes dazzle with her Kawasaki Ninja- SuperBike. The journey started from SNS College of Engineering and moved into interior rural parts of Gobichettipalayam. The lush greenery of the place simply took us over. We made our first stop in a Temple for our breakfast; Ms. Sumathi HOD/SCD made arrangements for was simple and superb a breakfast
Books were collected by our college students. We had over a thousands of book collected. We had a warm reception in every school we visited. It was almost the first time these school students saw such a big group of bikers on their school campus. The school students were a combo of shy and curiosity when dealing with us, they enquired about us and our bike ride.
I feel happy and honored to participate in the Bike rally, to create awareness of using Helmet and to donate the books to Government School It was an awesome experience to meet and interact with so many children in school.

The temperature was rising and so did Bikers geared it up. We had our lunch in Kodiveri Dam, quite a scenic place to eat and relax in between our ride. Again the journey continued and we donated our books to the remaining schools. Staff and Students riding along was a new experience. Wherever we stopped for a break or whatever reason, everyone would surround us because all the bikes, an Innova car, an ambulance in the back was our team so people were puzzled and surprised seeing us as if something had happened or an accident, we answered them with a big smile and explained our initiative which was well received.
End of the day, we all reached Coimbatore safe sound and satisfied. A few things that would stand out in this journey was the way the school students and staff received us, next was the way the Bikers rode with discipline; in particular woman Bikers who took the long day with ease. One more surprise is there which you will read in the next article.
