Harley-Davidson from Mumbai meets a ship of the desert in near Kumbhalgarh Fort, Rajasthan, India

It was near Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajasthan, India where a Harley-Davidson from Mumbai, almost 1200 kms away crossed paths with a ship of the desert, viz. camel.
India is one country where one gets to see a $160K LandRover Evoque sharing a highway with a $40K Harley or Indian and with camel carts strolling past at easy pace. It's a country of mixed demographic profile. Come to India. Do a 'backpacking India on road' and also 'be my car travel buddy in India'.

Harley-Davidson and The Nature Conservancy join forces for Plant a Billion Trees program

Harley-Davidson and The Nature Conservancy have joined forces, and the unlikely pair has a shared goal: Mobilize a dedicated global community (HOG riders) to raise enough funds to plant 50 million trees worldwide by 2025.

"A central part of motorcycling is experiencing the great outdoors; to see the world from behind the handlebars is unlike anything else," said Mark-Hans Richer, CMO of Harley-Davidson. "We are dedicated to preserving the open road for future generations of riders.”

As part of its Renew the Ride initiative, the Harley-Davidson Foundation has committed to a series of annual grants totaling $550,000 in support of The Nature Conservancy's global Plant a Billion Trees program.
