    Breakfast Ride To The Border

    As many of us who have ridden around Goa will know, riding in Goa is a real pleasure. The roads are superb and even the narrow interior village roads are pothole and speed breaker free.

    Once we had settled down to the Goan holiday routine and felt relaxed, we decided one morning to take a ride for breakfast. What would seem like a loony idea to others seems perfectly logical to us bikers! We decide to ride down to the Maharashtra border for breakfast. Last year we had ridden up to Terakhol- a small village border with MH, but this time we decided to take the highway.






    We leave quite early and head on to NH17. Mornings are the best times to ride especially at the coast since it can get quite humid later on.









    We reach Panjim and continue North on the highway. We cross many bridges and rivers and pass through villages where Feni was being brewed and the aroma was wafting in the air.



    We finally reach the Maharashtra border, just cross it and take a few clicks and turn around and return to the amused looks of the security personnel.








    The ride distance was 80k.m. was it for the breakfast or was it for the ride?? We stop near the border for a simple breakfast of bhajji pav and start the ride back. Loony? Maybe





    Cheers Guys !

            Yeah Guru, in Goa you are so laid-back and relaxed that sometimes we need to shake ourselves up and just move- hence the ride

            And talking of spirit, refueling either the bike or us is like "happy hour".

            Thanks & Take Care

                Goa I truely one of the best places to visit in India... wish I could be there now... Great pics too guys!!
                Biking is about you and the bike and the highway and the freedom you get when all three work together. Its not about Bullying others on the road and behaving like its your Dads property.. So drive safe and be nice to your fellow bikers no matter what their ride is.

                        Damn.. They've painted the ruins as well and kept it clean. ASI needs to get some training from them. Such wonderful pieces of history in the rest of India going down the drain !!!!

                          Enchanting Evenings and Memorable Sights

                          We have explored almost all corners of Goa during our visits here over many years. The quaint fishing villages and docks, the many ancient churches built hundreds of years ago in true Portuguese style and their influence clearly evident as we ride through Old Goa.




                          We always enjoy the cool evenings watching the sunsets at the beach and always return rejuvenated and refreshed. It’s a place of warm, affectionate people with an easy going attitude and we have made many friends here over the years.

















                          My only wish is that the impending changes do not scar the beauty of this lovely little place and may it retain its charm for our future generations to admire and enjoy!
