Veenu Paliwal
Veenu Paliwal (1970-2016) was a well-recognized Indian motor biker from Jaipur, Rajasthan.[1] For her enthusiasm about bikes, she was named the "Lady of Harley" (Dunes Harley-Davidson) and "HOG Rani". During an interview, she once noted that her inspiration was her father since childhood, who himself was an "avid biker". She said that accidents happen because of biker's own fault. Although she was passionate about bikes, it was only after getting into college when she learned to ride motorcycles from her college friends. However, she herself did not own any motorcycle then.[2]
