On January 31, 2023, Indian Motorcycle announced the details of its upcoming 2023 Indian Riders Fest, a massive pan-European motorcycle rally that it boldly predicts will be “the world’s largest gathering of Indian Motorcycle owners.” At the 2022 event, a total of 3,500 visitors attended from 37 different countries, along with 1,200 Indian motorcycles. Organizers say they’re expecting the numbers to only grow in 2023.
The festival will take place in the lovely České Budějovice (also referred to as Budweis), Czech Republic, from June 9 through 11, 2023. What can attendees expect to find if they make plans to visit? Beautiful riding throughout the surrounding area in Bohemia is a given. There will also be a 25-kilometer (15 mile) parade on Saturday, which will be led by the Ladies First riders’ group. The first IRF started in 2019, and 465 bikes participated in the parade at that time. Now, organizers are hoping to crack 2,000 bikes in the parade this year. Will they do it?
