  • Weekend ride to Lavasa....

    Hey guys,

    I am creating this post coz its a special moment for me..

    Today morning me and my bro Sagar went to lavasa....
    I reached chandni chowk at 6:10 but we had to wait till 6:30 coz i had less fuel in my bike .
    Anyways we got a pump which was just after Shell petrol pump on the way .
    It was freezing cold.... though we were riding at 40s and 50s till we reach lavasa.... our hands were fully froze...
    And just about when my legs were about to freeze we started climbing the ghat after the dam. Then we started leaning and pulse starting racing fast...

    Once we reached Lavasa gate we had tea.. then started practicing leaning on our favorite patch.

    It had been almost 3 months since i had came for a proper ride... and the last time i came to lavasa i had been practicing knee down for almost a month..


    This time again i was trying hard but just couldnt pick the correct line or body angle........

    Then Sagar my bro gave me his r15 and told me that try on this if possible and i ll try on your bike...

    I was watching him..... On the very first turn.. Bulls eyes... he does a perfect knee down... just like a cake walk... I was stunned....

    Then he tried to explain me little do's and dont's and surprisingly i perform a knee down for first time and that too i m riding the r15 for the first time...

    Then took my P220 again and my god for the first time in my life i did a perfect knee down on my bike... Seemed like i ve reached heaven....

    I really wanted to share this with you all biking brothers so posting this message.

    Inder also inspired me to post this message... (Thanks Inder )

    All credit goes my bro Sagar without whom i wouldnt have done this...

    Thank yall

      Nice achievement there

      Nothin to take away your achievement but be careful at Lavassa. As I understand, your knee down came after the chai ki tapri towards the Lavassa gate. Last time that we were there, we witnessed the truck drivers playing Lewis Hamilton there and they almost totalled a couple of cars. Rushing into blind corners may turn to be very dangerous...so be careful.
      Also, the fastest line thru corners may not require a knee down...
      Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                              ^^ @Inder: Paaji, you need to get knee guards before scraping them
                              BTW, how about scraping your knee on the Rocket
