Biking has an important influence in the history of Goa. From the early days, the two-wheeler machines have been the joy of Goans. As a preferred use of transport, the bike is simply a perfect icon of Goa. From the olden days of Rajdoots, Java, Enfield and other classics, to the 90's RX 100's, and early 21st century faster bikes pulsars, Karismas to today’s super bikes such as CBR, Harley's, mean machine Duke and the new Impulse the popular and perfect bike for Goa.

Although there is a high toll of motorcycle accidents, Bikers in Goa still hold true to their love for the two wheelers and is still a popular means of transport despite the influx of cars our small narrow roads.

  

With faster machines been made, better and larger roads and allot more traffic, bikes have now a tarnished reputation among our Goan population. With more cars on the roads, the bikes have less importance and are regarded as an annoyance to car drivers. This is also why GEARS advocates safe and aware riding with proper road rule knowledge and appropriate motorcycle gear such as, Helmets, gloves, biker shoes etc. This is what makes GEARS different from other Biker groups in Goa. This community is more than just organizing events and shows. GEARS have a deeper side to it, which elaborates in the importance of safety and wise riding. It raises awareness to respect the road and fellow motorcyclists while exemplifying the passion for the aesthetics and mechanics of Bikes.
