Congrats Vivek Sir

Thanks a lot friends. Thanks to all the well wishes I received here.

I am glad to share that I completed overall 8th in bikes category and 1st in my group(Group D). I had very comfortable more than 1 hr lead on the next group D competitor at the end of raid.

Overall experience was very good. I rode with Cramster saddlebags on throughout the event and rode like usual long rides. This is the biggest trophy I have now.

I'll write a detailed log for each later.

Thanks again for the wishes.

Yes, detailed report from you is absolutely important. What we heard from you last night was amazing.

I felt really good seeing you with the trophy, yes it IS the BIGGEST!

And if that is how you ride like usual long rides, then you are really an Amazing rider. Which I always knew you were.

Paris-Dakar next?

Congrats Vivek!! It takes a real fighter to do what you have done. Hats off sir!

And would meet you soon in person to learn more about that 'rode like usual' stuff

^ Now I would be somewhat scared to go on a 'usual long ride' with Vivek. And I guess you share that feeling Ken?

Say what??

Paris - Dakar? That seems pretty logical now!

@ Ken and Oldfox-

Thank you so much.What I wanted to say was, I did not push it so hard that I keep falling every now and then. I took it really easy. You can well imagine it considering the fact, that I rode my Karizma to work today with absolutely no work done on it post raid.

If you look at the results closely, group C riders had 30 seconds gap, they were really competing with all the efforts they could put in, till the very last stages.

@me is rossi- Just get a license from FMSCI and you are on. Fill up the entry with the organizers and participate.
