You ought to raise eyebrows of society, family and prejudices with the idea of off-road female biking on Indian roads but what's a road without potholes?

Many engineers, doctors, homemakers and fashion designers are set to become the next-gen pioneers of Female Bikers in India. They are conquering new heights and motivating hundreds every single day.

She is India's first woman biker and has inspired women to go from a pillion to becoming a rider. Paliwal was the first woman in India to ride a Harley at 180 km/hr and other super bikes over 250 km/hr. That was how she got the name "HOG Rani (Queen) or "SPEED Rani (Queen)". The recorded top speed Veenu ever achieved is 330 km/hour on a "tuned" Suzuki Hyabusa, a feat never achieved before by any Indian female biker. Unfortunately, she died in a road accident near Gyaraspur on April 11, 2016.
