Thank you dude. Wish I'd known you're in that region, would have given you a call for sure.

I have taken a few falls myself and mostly have taken away something from it. Like triple digit speeds are not advisable, even on the best of highways. The other object(human,dog,cow,bus,crazy car/bike wallahs) can suddenly decide to stray right in our path, for no foreseaable reason.
Wishing you lots of safe rides and waiting for the Coorg updates |
Updated the thread
The most important takeaway for me was, "Expect the Unexpected... Always!". Speed was not the issue, I was doing 60 kmph on a 80 kmph road with visibility going almost a kilometer ahead. I was even prepared to hit the brakes too, but she ran. If she'd walked across I could have done something, but because she darted across the road I just could not react in time.

anyways... I haven't read your triplog yet.. will do that in a bit. going by your reputation... it has to be good... anyways... ride long.. ride safe..
BTW why the I'd change?

Don't worry bro, take it from experience... It gets easier with time and kilometers under your belt.
The id change was something that I'd been wanting to do for a very long time now, just been lazy to not get it done!

Absolute stunning log with equally magnificent pictures. I agree to your statement over here
"There is no end to the 'madness' of biking" hahahah its so much true for all of us. Coorg has been a real good destination for bikers during rains. I have always noticed you dont upload pictures of yourself so much in the log, whats the reason yaar?
Btw i am moving down to Bangalore as i promised to you in the Pre G2G next week. Once i settle down with the accommodation, when are we riding together? And when did you buy a new lid boss? |
Thank you so much for the appreciation buddy.
I don't upload pictures of myself because the LoneWolf is a bigger and better poser than I am
Besides, I usually am better off behind the lens than in front of it.
Settle down, we shall ride soon!
Lets make the best of this weather. Its not a new lid, actually its my old lid had taken a decent hit when my head hit the median. I have just got it in a new avtaar for a few weeks before I pick up a new helmet.

Mandeep, bro... Its been a long time. We should meet sometime. Remember in college we used to just dream about owning/riding a good bike. The time and day is here. Lets see if destiny makes our biking paths cross sometime
