  • [Photo Feature]: Coorg Episode - July 2010 (Another milestone of Coimbatore xbhp team)

    Orignal msg from Dual Disc 200

    "Ok guys, posting after a very Long time in our own thread..! Coming back to the news, as we all know that only Josh and Mahesh had attended the Tri-State and we being from the same community here were busy with all the last minute things which made us impossible for the Tri-State, let's say bye to work & mobile phones for a day or two next month and gear up for a pure riding G2G!"


    Yeah, members of the Coimbatore team decided to say bye to work, mobile phones, etc. for a weekend getaway to Coorg on 17th and 18th of July 2010..





    Stay tuned for the complete trip log and hella lotta pictures..

            Tackling work and finding the perfect weekend was our biggest challenge, but determined to hit the road no matter what, we finalized the dates as 17th and 18th of July.

            The day before the ride was all spent in our very own NSR Tuners' garage. Three bikes had to be serviced within a short amount of time. Ram, Ini, Mahesh, and myself were still at the garage watching our steeds gleam as the final polishing was going on.. After all the work had been done, we headed to my place as it was on the way to Mettupalyam.. It was 12 by the time, we reached home. Mahesh, Formulated a plan wherein Josh was supposed to meet us in Mettupalyam at 3:30.

            At 2:30, receiving a call from Aravinth that they were near my office, we four decided to steer towards my office and head to Mettupalyam after a cup of tea.

            As the engines were warming up, everyone was cross-checking their bags to ensure that we did not leave anything out in a hurry.. Everyone turned towards Iniyavan when we heard a feeble voice calling out Ram.

            Iniyavan: "Ram anna, my papers. mm mm.. My papers are at home.."

            Upon further enquiry, Ini left his bike papers at home just before giving his bike for servicing. Fellow dint have any other option except to go back another 20+20 kms to fetch his papers..

            Ram's tension was palpable even though he did his best to hide it. I realized that it would surely have a direct effect on Ini's speedometer. I decided to accompany him just

            in case. We hurried as it started to drizzle. Met Aravinth and Gautam, informed them of the situation, and guided them to ride straight where they wud meet Ram and Mahesh at the next bus stop. Ini and myself took an alternative route for the worst with mad dogs chasing and roads filled with slush, but somehow we made it to his house. Like a thief, he had to climb up the gate, wake up his parents, and finally took the papers. The return route was calm, just the two of us, except for lorries passing by. I suggested we take a flyover but Ini said we take a short cut. Thinking we were already late, I agreed. Little did I know that we had to do some serious off-roading plus going over close to 30 tall-back-breaking-irritating speed breakers. Cursing every dog that ran across, somehow we came out of the puzzled streets. A lot of time was wasted, it was alredy 3:30 in the heart of Coimbatore. After touching the highway, we started to maintain a constant 110, it was 3:50 when we reached mettupalyam.






            We realized that Josh had not arrived. We parked our bikes with the rest of them and clicked a few pics just to see how beautifully Aravinth and Gaumtam had already dozed off. Just as I finished my fag, Josh whizzed past and halted near a bakery. We whistled to ensure our presence. Looking at the watch, it was 5:30... We decided to have tea and start exactly at 6.





            We decided upon the line up. Josh lead, followed by Ram, Aravinth & Gautam, Ini, Mahesh, and myself. a look at the watch confirmed 6. From here on, we started our ride.

            The adrenalin rush was back. The line-up was picture perfect, each one of us in our staggered positions. When we crossed the town, we were on full throttle as we started the ghat section. A single line formation was promptly signalled by Josh at the lead. Staying at the back, Mahesh and myself realized that Aravinth not being used to hills, was finding it difficult to maneuver uphill with a pillion on his FZ. Soon, we had to switch gautam onto Josh's bike. Each hairpin bend was marked clearly. The ride up was enjoyable as each bend was rewarded with a breathtaking view. It had been nearly a year since I had gone home, but the very thought of passing by it made the adrenalin rush even more.
