Doha: The Tribe Motorcycle Club Qatar celebrated its 6th anniversary with over 200 motorcyclists from 23 motorcycle clubs in Doha on Friday. The club, formed in 2013 with just 4 members, has grown in strength over the years to 40 members today.

The riders rode along the Doha Corniche to Farggi Café on Grand Hamad Street for the anniversary celebrations which included an exclusive Victorinox watch exhibition for the riders, breakfast, and felicitations for the participating clubs. The chief guests for the event were Ahmed Hassan Al Jufairi and Ali Hassan Al Jufairi from HBH Al Mulla & Sons.

The club officials expressed appreciation for the support provided by Batabit- Qatar Centre for Motorcycles and the Ministry of Interior Traffic department.

Shammi Mohan, the activity officer of The Tribe said, ‘This is a proud moment for the Tribe and we wouldn’t have been who we are today if it wasn’t for the love and support we have received from these passionate riders and the staggering number of riders today was the true example of that passion. We love riding in Qatar in all the seasons and we ensure to do that every year.’

The anniversary was held in conjunction with the Victorinox Ride II 2020, organized by Victorinox Swiss Army watches. The event commenced with the Victorinox toughest watch challenge where the riders witnessed 2 heavy motorcycles, a 4X4 GMC truck and an 18-ton construction truck that were driven over the watch. Barring a few scratches, the watch survived the weight of the trucks.
