Last month, in a brief window of freakishly good Chennai weather, saw the first edition of MOTUS OPERANDI at The Farm, in Semancheri. A kind of a loose collective initiated by Arul Futnani, MO seeks to convey our love of the internal combustion engine in all its forms and functionality. Helmet Stories was there for the first MO, scarfing down breakfast and single-origin Malabar Monsooned coffee (yeah, we are coffee snobs too) over the delicious din of classic motorcycles being coaxed to life—from the deep thrum of ’55 Triumph Tiger T100s syncopated to the rat-a-tat-tat piston slap; to the blood-stirring ringg-dingg-dingg-dingg of a pair of gloriously restored 2-strokes—a Yezdi Roadking and a Yamaha RD350. Royal Enfields were of course in attendance as well as Vespas, Lambrettas and Matchless machines.
The second edition of MO is our homage to the bike we love and hate in equal measure—the Royal Enfield Bullet 350. On show will be Bullets and related memorabilia from the Madras Motorcycle Company days in 1955 to the current day Royal Enfield offerings. So, come, come to The Farm, either to bury the Bullet or to praise it or just come for some damn fine food and coffee.
Motus Operandi, 15 and 16 September, 8 am to 11 am at The Farm, 1/277 Semancheri Village, Old Mahabalipram Road, Chennai
