The Seven-Islands Mumbai H.O.G Chapter hosted the Western H.O.G. Ride (WHR) 2026 at The Deltin, Daman, bringing together over 360 Harley Owners Group members and guests from across the country. It was one of the largest HOG gatherings Daman has hosted.

The weekend opened with live sets from Valenciaga and Aangan on the first night, alongside a curated dining experience by the venue.

Day two centred on the Harley-Davidson Ride to Daman Lighthouse, organised in coordination with Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu Tourism. Over 80 Harley-Davidsons, spanning everything from the entry-level X440 to the bigger models like the Fat Boy, rode out in formation through the city before making their way to the lighthouse.
The ride was followed by a Sundowner session at the pool. The evening's entertainment picked up with a stand-up comedy set and closed with "War of DJs".

The event was organised by the Seven-Islands HOG Chapter Committee, comprising Carl Sequeira, Abhishek Divekar, Sanjay Pai and Sajid Ali, who coordinated the route, logistics and full weekend programme, including permissions for the formation ride through Daman.

WHR has grown into a fixture on the western chapter's calendar, and this edition marks its largest turnout to date.
