    • Yamaha FZ1 Blue (Prakul)
    • Yamaha FZ1 Black (Ashwin)
    • Yamaha R1 (Sunny)
    • Harley Davidson Nightrod (Rishi)

    • Honda Rune (Praveen)
    • Victory Vision (Hemant)

    This is going to be a terrific photo-essay, I have a hunch already. And what better place than Lansdowne!

        A wide-angle shot worth all those cc's!!!

        Now don't rub it in any further sunny, with such a fantastic teaser...you know what i mean

        On the contrary, I'd like to read the write-up and see all the photos asap, so that I am forced into making a different decision next time around

        That Victory looks magnificent!!!

                  It was indeed fantastic to ride with the world's best bikes to such a beautiful place. The roads were just fantastic, we hardly made rendezvous with a bad road.

                      holy moly this is a great collection of oversizes.(I'll refrain from the term superbikes because the displacement on these is one step above anyway). And Lansdowne too. That place is eluding me, but someday I will get there on a bike......

                      Gotta read up more on the VV and the Rune

                              @ken: But you were in Delhi well in time werent you?

                              Here are the Day 1 ; Morning Session Pictures:

                              We met up at 6.30 AM at the Moolchand BP petrol Pump in New Delhi.


                              Presenting the very large and very heavy Vulcan:



                              The Mothership getting fuel:



                              Intruder Alert:




                              The Mothership landing


                              All set and ready to go, some bikes present at the gas station just saw us off and returned back home


                              On the Meerut road, Mr Vrooom (Ashish) was so infuriated with the presence of super powerful machines that he decided to challenge a cross country cyclist for a drag, the results shall be posted soon:







                              On the way:





                              Afternoon Session coming up tommorow afternoon!
