A modified Royal Enfield Classic 500 carried 58 men onboard and the mesmerising stunt was performed on a 1,200-meter run
A modified Royal Enfield Classic 500 was used to make a new world record when 58 people boarded the motorcycle and it ran a stretch of 1,200 meter. The stunt was performed by Indian Army Service Corps (ASC) at the Air Force Station Yelahanka in Karanata. It was performed under the lead of Major Bunny Sharma and the bike was under control of Subedar Rampal Yadav.
No wonder, this was an amazing performance by those men in uniform. These men are called as ASC Tornadoes and they broke the previous record which was set by 56 men of the Indian Army Signal Corps, also christened as the Daredevils. While the men in uniform performed this amazing stunt, you can watch it here in this video.
