@praful - i live near HSR club. what time are you starting ?

Welcoming the Ducatis!

I am as excited as Sriharsha is... cos I was hoping to meet them at Bangalore today as I would not be able to make it to Forum Mall tomorrow. I waited with no clue of their where abouts, just then I started seeing facebook updates. I knew that they were still 300 kms away. I reached a point where I go right to the city and wait for them... or go left and ride up NH7 and catch them midway... Biker instincts took over... and I went left. With few short halts en-route to check for more updates.

Finally caught up with the 3 Monsters at a curve past the Bagepalli toll... lucky that we had a U-turn there. I think Praveer saw me as they whizzed past. I turned and saw the three Ducatis indicating to stop. Rode up to them, exchanged greetings. Was great to meet Priansh and Sunil for the first time, and Praveer for the second time. I decided to accompany them to Bangalore.. and told them only If i could keep up with them, but they were nice enough to agree to keep up with my ZMA.

I was doing 100 -120 at times on the speedo, but needless to say the Ducatis were effortlessly keeping ahead, except when the riders decided to slowdown. Priansh was having fun (I am sure he was) riding away into the Horizon and then waiting for us to pass by and then again join and whizz past. What do I say!.... It was a privelege riding with the Ducatis to both me and my ZMA

Went all the way till their hotel, with a short break at the Shell bunk near Jakkur. THANKS GUYS!.... you made some part of my dream come true. Rode with Ducatis... next is to Ride on one , hopefully sometime in this lifetime. Good luck to y'all and ride safe.

Count me in as tentative for the ride.
Are we planning to have breakfast at Kamat Lokaruchi?

Good to see you back on the forum.

With Kanva being the destination, I think the Ninja riders can join us easily (& attend the Ninja meet thereafter). They can head back post breakfast, or after spending some time at Kanva. Its just about 60Kms away.

Just bent my front alloy a few hours back... Thank you BMC for digging up a road right in the middle of a smooth stretch of road for no reason.

Will only tomrrow morning as to how much air is leaking. My status due to the above mentioned nuisance is now tentative from confirmed!

Thats really sad my friend
