                      the 5 pics are telling enough story.
                      and the question remains why do i race?
                      every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

                      #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
                      #overkill is underrated.
                      #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
                      #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

                      (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                              Airoli to Tiger Point...

                              So the plan was freezed and we were riding. Myself, Kartik, Pranav, Deep, Aryan and Jenam were supposed to meet at Airoli tapri by 2215 hrs. Before I left home, I got an call from Aryan that he overslept and wont be able to join us. He also had to report to INS Shivaji (Lonavla) by 0000 hrs and he would be later joining us direct at Tiger Point / Amby valley.

                              I was the 1st one to reach Airoli so till the time others arrive, time for some clicks...




                              My sweetheart <3






                              In 15 mins, all gathered and so started the bakar & sutta session . Clicked one group pic, geared up and started towards Palm Beach h'way where Akshay was waiting for us.



                              Akshay started with us from Palm Beach h'way and Manish was supposed to meet us at Kumar resort, Lonavla. Nobody had ever met Akshay so after reaching intro session started and "saala fir se sutta chalu. In logo ko sirf bahana hi chahiye sutta jalane ke liye" . To our surprise, Aryan also arrived in 5 mins but since he had to reach INS Shivaji he left immediately...

                              Few pics clicked...






                              Only pic of Aryan...



                              After we crossed Panvel, we started to hunt for an Dhaba. Spotted one near Mahad. Filled our tummies with yummy and delicious food. Satisfied left the dhaba after 1 hour or so started the ride again. Next halt was Lonavla.

                              Few pics clicked at the Dhaba...

                              Akshay and JJ



                              Deep and Kartik


                              Pranav





                              Masala papads...


                              Butter Paneer masala wid Garlic Naan


                              Butter Paneer masala wid Garlic Naan Zoomed in




                              Butter Paneer masala wid Garlic Naan more Zoomed in




                              Treasure Chest














                              Manish had reached 15-20 mins before us and he was waiting at an Chai Tapri. Climate was lil bit cold, "so cutting chai toh banta hai boss" !!! After quick chai session, we were all set to cruise onto the curves in the dark enroute Tiger point...



                              L to R... Kartik, Manish, Deep and Pranav (one step down), JJ and Akshay



                              Reached Tiger point in 20 mins. It was very crowded as it was weekend. Spotted one place just at the edge of the cliff and parked our bikes there. The climate was supercool, with cold breeze blowing and stars studded sky. It was time for an photoshoot in the dark. Enjoyed a lottt over there. Let the pics do the talking...












                              Kartik bhai full mood mai


                              Watching the starsss







                              Final group pic at Tiger point


                              To Be Contd... Tiger Point to Amby Valley
