Our first race is fast and the competition will be tough, but we are all coming together as a team to represent the Royal Enfield of North America and it will be a great spectacle if we all line up on this network for the first time this season ”.

The design of the bikes was very creative, and it was cool to see how the faces of the riders are expressed in the appearance and design of their motorcycles Continental GT 650. Melissa Paris as a teacher means that women have the right person for advice on how to hone their skills . Last year we could see riders improve race after race, and if there are more bikes this year, I’m sure the competition will rise to another level.
