It was a deep rut in the road which was the culprit, he did not see it it seems. Eye witnesses say his bike flew almost 10 ft in the air before it landed over 20 feet away. Speeds were very high.

a thr was a deep crack tht too on a a curve right after a slight upward slope..., he missed both and went straight ahead at speeds in exc[IMG][/IMG]ess of 80's...

pics are good,i was expecting a more write-up.

This is all that happened that day, JV is good, he got his bike back and its in the garage that is the latest on it. Other might have other stories to tell if they are willing to put it down on paper as they say.

what's about this incidence?elaborate plz.

how jv got in to such a bad crash?

a group of riders from Mumbai and Pune did the same route in January.. here the link http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/2...h-calling.html

As for that incident, Parth is known to be the Playboy in the group, so with Ladies around the only thing that comes to mind is PARTH. It was meant to be a PUN on Parth, I was trying to interpret what those girls were saying and what Parth's reaction would be to it all. NONSENSE is another thing we call PARTH as that is his Patented dialog

There was a small ridge / pothole on the road and was not visible, he wa at a bit high speed, the bike jumped.

what about the previous incidence,skipped intentionally.

Nothing like that mate, check now have edited my reply

And Mansuryayas was the person who helped us to plan about this route and gave every small details.Thanks to him.

Nice write up and pics guys.

Cheers
Biru

hmm saw it,looking forward to more such group-riding from you guys.

Thanks Sayank10, Aargee, Beruist, Siddharth_ZMR and other for the encouragement,

We have been all over Gujarat, its just that the group is far more active on Facebook than here. Even now all the discussion of this thread is on FB only, hardly any posts here.

a biker should belong to xbhp not facebook[well kabhi kabhi chalta hai]
