  • [Photo Feature]: Mumbai - CharMinar - Madness !

    Me to Myself :
    "Biker In Me : Lets Go ?
    Other Me :Naah Man ! Lots of Risk
    Biker In Me : Chuck It I'm Going -_-
    Other Me : You'll Regret !
    Biker In Me : Yes I will, You're Right
    *If you know what I mean*

    Links : Day 1 In Hyderabad



    Note :
    I'm not good in narrating stories.
    My relation is not good with English, My Grammar is as good as I was typing "Grammer" and My browser told me its Grammar.
    I'm lazy in typing.
    But then I'm Me.

    Note 2 : Mb's Of Pic - All Pics on low resolution for saving Bandwidth so Pics might look bad. :/

    So Long Story Short :

    Before being a Biker I was a Online Gamer. :P
    Played a Online MMORPG for almost 9 years.
    It ruined my 10th, 12th, college and in a crowd of Engineers in home, Family & Friends. I'm the only illiterate guy in a field of Animation because I thought I'm creative but now I feel that we need to earn money also for living (Specially for a good living with Super-Vroom ).

    Okay back to topic :
    So I had a Online game friend who was calling me to his place from years.
    > My big bro marriage.. Are you coming ?
    > New baby in home, Party . Coming ?
    > My second bro marriage, I know You're not coming. Just telling you.

    So now I decided to go as now Mumbai is near to Hyderabad than my home (Delhi).

    Left from home on Bike but had to return because of some issues.
    And then I got second thought that maybe I should not go on bike, and its how Universe is trying to give me a sign (Yea Barney Stinson Style ).
    So Train booked which I missed by 10 minute because I don't know anything about Mumbai local and It took me 1hour-25minute to reach from Kandivali to Dadar.
    So Train missed and no refund :


    Yea man. Again missed a Train. :/

    So back to home in a Mumbai slow train.
    Replaced the Bajaj Engine oil by Motul 5100 -15W50- just to kill time + did a Bike wash too.
    And back on xBhp on the regular threads doing timepass.
    As I was not having my Knee Guards after selling the one I had, I was looking for some alternative. @whymail offered his bionic knee guards.
    And @Centaur showed up his awesomeness by offering the Saddle Bags + Thor Knee guards (non-bionic / Innerwear).
    *Saddle-bag was seriously I was thinking about.*

    And I left from home near 9:30pm same day (10 min. after Centaur's reply :P) for @Centaur 's Place & then @whymail for a special bungee cord.
    Back to home near 11:30pm with all wet Jacket, shoes and I had to spread them all over to dry under fan.
    Somehow got sleep near 1am & got up near 4:10am
    Done the fast forward packing (Why Red highlight ? I'll tell you later) and the dry jacket made me happy.

    Left from home near 5am in Hurry.
    Checking my Mobile, Wallet & Bike Documents. Because only those things can take me to anywhere & back to home when needed. Rest of things are secondary :P

    4:52am :


    Mobile Battery was 99% & I was happy.
    The route from Kandivali to Hyderabad was showing 721km & I knew it will end up near 750+.
    So earphones plugged-in & Google Maps on my iPhone Started.
    The sweet lady of Google-Map department was all ready to guide me.
    And I headed towards Western Highway.
    The way I followed as per map was :
    Kandivali > Powai > Airoli > Panvel > Pune > Solapur > Hyderabad

    Continuous riding till it was a bit clear sky and First stop @ 100.4km !
    But @ 6:47am, My eyes freezed!!
















    After the awesome view of clouds on road, rain and empty twisty roads, I had to leave because its still long way for me to go.

    After Lonavala, I got company for 4 Harley's.
    I don't have interest in Harley's so I don't know the names but there's 1 with 2 moving exhausts like those Machine guns.
    Another guy with a Fat 190-200 size rear tyre and making a good fountain of water on back.

    For 30-40 kiloemter I was following them and sometime taking advantage of their Group road signals to follow the mud-wet road. :P
    Just a mistake I did, by mistake I had to get closer to the fat harley (Big size tyre among all) and man see what he did go my bike, helmet, jacket in just 4-5 seconds of Game.



    *Feeling Sleepy*
    Rest when I feel less lazy to post :P

    Continuation :

    8:55am@ 3:07pm



    The last stop :
    some 120km before my friend's Place.



    No pic after this as I was a bit tired + the hyderabad city traffic irritated a lot.


    Reached my friend's place and then the Explanation to them about bike ride and other things tomorrow

    *Going Malad (PathanWadi) For Dinner*
    Anyone nearby ping here :P

                Nice travelogue and pics.

                Jo last pic hain, usme kya bolna chahta hain tu? Dekhkar to aisa lag raha hain ki tuje Pirelli pehen ne hain and tere shoes tuje bike ko pehna ne hain

                Cheerz!!

                  Some really nice pics..

                  Would have died of a heart attack, if I found your bike parked on the middle of the road while negotiating the turn shown in the pic and there was oncoming traffic from the other side.

                    Thanks.
                    No the turn is not like that
                    I was there for 15 min. & only 4-5 Trucks passed that too on 5-10 speed because of the slope.
                    Bike's were going on 20-30 speed and Turn was kind of different than it appears in pic.
                    It was 101% safe.
