...58 men riding on a single motorbike.

The stunt was performed by Tornadoes, a motorcycle display team of the army's logistics arm, Army Service Corps.

Dressed in the colours of the Indian flag, they flanked either side of the moving 500 cc Royal Enfield, covering a distance of 1.2 km at Yelahanka Air Force Station in southern Bengaluru city.

The act was performed for the Guinness Book of World Records, Limca Book of Records and Unique World Records, according to local media.

"There are three riders who take charge," Major Bunny Sharma explained.

"First is the rider himself...

"Second is the balancer...

"...third one is the navigator..."

...

The team pulled off the stunt successfully on the third attempt, after a rigorous training for six months, including a strict diet to maintain their weight. Research for the stunt began in 2013.
