Dhoni shares his passion for royal enfield with bikers' group

To have something in common with the Indian cricket team's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni can be any fan's dream. Members of city-based bikers' group Road Survivors got to live that when they met Dhoni, who agreed to meet them after going through a report about them in Times of India on Wednesday. The avid bikers talked to him about his love for motorcycles. They also gifted a T-shirt of their club to Dhoni at Taj hotel.

However, MSD politely turned down their request to join the club saying he did not have much time for biking anymore. Nine members of the club reached the hotel at around 12.30pm. Initially, cops turned down their demand of meeting Dhoni as they claimed he was meditating. Luckily for them, the bikers met a member of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who then got in touch with the champion.

One of the club's members, Aditya Mohan, said the CSK squad member told them that Dhoni had read the TOI report, which had mentioned that they wanted to meet him.

''He said Dhoni was coming to meet us. We were delighted to know that we would finally get to see him. After about 30 minutes, Dhoni arrived and spoke about his passion for biking,' Aditya said.

Dhoni told members of Road Survivors (also known as Chandigarh Royal Enfield Club) that he owned a Royal Enfield Machismo and loved to ride his Rajdoot 350 whenever he got time. ''MSD enquired about the club and its expeditions. He was interested in knowing when we rode and how many members we had,' Aditya added. Dhoni also asked the motorcyclists about their Ladakh trips as they gifted him a key chain they had brought from there.

One of the bikers, Mohali-based Manpreet Walia, also handed a vuvuzela made in his factory to the Indian captain. They also had a four-year-old with them, who gifted Dhoni a drawing made by him as MSD left for a team meeting. source : times of india
