By Ganesh

Bangalore's Tusker Harley Davidson dealership in association with member's of the city's Harley Owners Group (HOG) organised a special ride on Oct 27th.

20 HOGs covered a stretch of 100km, starting from Tusker Harley Davidson, Lavelle Road, Bangalore, with the ride ending at the Prestige Golfshire. The cause was to extend support to Smile Foundation's initiative of providing better education and health care to underprivileged children.

The HOGs spread the message by displaying placards and raised awareness about the matter. The ride also managed to raise enough funds to provide Education & Nutrition support for close to 100 under privileged kids for a year.
