The stage is set for budding Indian rock artists to showcase their talent as Harley-Davidson India returns with the Find Your Freedom contest at Harley Rock Riders- Season V. The contest will see India’s best amateur rock music acts battle it out in an online contest where users and a jury will vote to collectively pick the two best original compositions.
