  • Day 2 : Black and White

    We woke up at 5.30AM today (and I am pretty sure we woke up the rest of the hotel too with Manan switching on his inbuilt radio for our entertainment). This would be a long day with us doing photography in Nahargarh in the morning and attending a biker meet at The Rock in C Scheme in the evening.

    So off we went towards the fort following the twisting roads. It was still pitch dark with the moon indicating where the sun will rise from.

    I actually raced up the twisties with a lot of confidence on the R1. There might be two reasons for this daredevilry: 1. It was pitch dark, i knew there would not be any vehicle thing around the corner (anyways I was taking precautions by sticking to my side of the road) and 2. Since it was dark I could not see the road surface and the gravel which did not hinder with my confidence.

    Later i rediscovered that its easier going up than coming down on downhill roads on front-end swooping down superbike.

      • Well as ussual the pics are jaw dropping, and really loved the ride.

        Well in the group pic I think only "Manan" (instead of MananC) would have been better.

        And rest regagrding me waking up the rest of the hotel, sorry can't help it, after all i am "Jawaan" with loud voice.

        Well waiting for more pics JAWAAN

              • Day 2 : evening at The Rock Lounge in Jaipur

                After a rest in the hotel during the day we headed for The Rock, a fantastic hang out place in Jaipur (C Scheme). The owner is is a fantastic guy who arranged to call a few superbikers while I informed some xBhp members in Jaipur. It turned out to be a fantastic evening with a very nice cold coffee, lemonade etc.

                The highlight was definitely meeting up with the R6 racer, Vikram, who has recently relocated from Dubai to Jaipur. Poor him, he was really missing the roads in Dubai, specially the tracks. We did manage to learn some nice things about track racing from him though at the coffee table.

                  Who's the "Vats"....???

                  Well anyways taking the honour on me....I am preparing myself for the next ride. hopefully this time on a bit bigger/better bike

                  Adding to your views...you left the BUSA guy, well just like his Machine he was also quite, but a well spoken guy with a good built up as well, really his personality was well suited to his bike.
