The Indonesian automotive world is growing. This time, one of the largest groups of Harley-Davidson motorbike lovers in Indonesia, HOGERS Indonesia, held the Hogers Indonesia Drag Race of National Event (HI-DRONE) on 11 – 12 November 2023, at Community Park, PIK2 which was opened by the Speaker of People’s Consultative Assembly of Indonesia as well as Chairman of the Indonesian Motorcycle Association (IMI) Dr. H. Bambang Soesatyo, SE., SH., MBA, who is familiarly known as Bamsoet. Nearly 700 starters/racers participated, including Indonesia’s best freestyler, Wawan Tembong. “The holding of HI-DRONE is also a gathering place for Harley lovers. Especially toward the 2024 election, events that strengthen solidarity between the nation’s children must be intensified,” said Bamsoet when giving his opening remarks.

Yudi Djadja, Director of HOGERS Indonesia also explained that HI-DRONE brings a new concept and is the first in the automotive events in Indonesia. Because this event combines Harley motorbike racing, MSMEs bazaar, and premium packaged music concert through Sound of Unity at the same location. Sound of Unity is a joint concert by top Indonesian artists such as Dewa, Raisa, Iwa K, Maliq & D’Essentials, Ada Band, Coconut Treez, and DJ Winky Wiryawan. Thus, apart from being enjoyed by automotive fans, this event, which was under IMI, could also be enjoyed by the public. “I see that Agung Sedayu Group is full of innovation. I also give appreciation to Agung Sedayu Group because of the many innovations that have been carried out. By collaborating with many communities such as the Indonesian Motorcycle Association which I lead, we can organize thousands of communities together, so it’s not just limited to walking or riding a bicycle, but we can transform it into a world entertainment center,” said Bamsoet when interviewed.
