    Nice write up and report Adi...

    Looking forward to ride with you all again...Anytime you can rev the R1 as long the glass windows near the place dont break...

    PS: The R1 ran out of fuel on the twisties some 15kms from Ooty, So Manju(RTR 180 ABS) and Pradeep (R15)had to get fuel in plastic bottles ...

    The Bullet female who was at the next table in Kamat, was giving me some pretty dirty looks when I was waiting for the fuel to arrive...

        . Maybe she was upset that you didnt offer to drop her to Ooty. Next time offer the girls a ride.

            Bang your head, while standing opposite/close to a wall, speed @2-3kmph? Hurts?
            Increase your speed & watch the fun, when someone falls from a Motorcycle,unfortunately he can't choose which way to fall best & hurt himself less.

              But of course this trip is also memorable and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Too bad that time passed so fast.
              An unplanned ride would definitely have a special plae, especially if it turns out to be so eventful, long, & fun like it did for you guys.

              The pics are fantastic man. Now lets all sit & critique your riding posture.

              Glad you had company. Else would have had to push the bike again (ala NICE Road on i-day)

              What do you mean by dirty looks here?! Was it one of those seductive moves that didn't go too well with you?

              The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                The only curves Ajay likes are on his bike. Thats probably why she was feeling let down.

                Or maybe he asked her to go and get fuel for him, thats why the dirty looks.

                              The trip indeed turned out to be a good one!!! No doubt with that...

                              I've been off the road for quite a while and wanted a good ride to get our of hibernationand it surely did that. Met a lot of new faces and it sure was a pleasure riding with them even though I was the slowest one


                              Ajay: Nice meeting you. Never knew people owning and riding big bikes would be so down to earth!!

                              Pradeep and Manju: Nice meeting you as well. And oh sure nice to ride as well!!

                              Would have been nice had you all also accompanied to Wayanad.

                              Ram: The music guy!!!

                              Somnath: The guy whose patience i tested a lot as he was the one sweeping the group

                              Adi, Shoib and Alok : The patient guys!! Man the stretch we did from wayanad till the gudlur was awesome with great co-ordination!!
