          Ahhhhhh Damn Prakash , why did you pen this down, now I have to wake up my lazy brain and actually write the log with pictures.

          Lets start with the short teaser until the log is prepared.

          Super awesome day with the xbhp friends, Bikes and Cameras.
          Our first ride of many more in future . The connection between the bikes and bikers was outstanding.

          Location: Sardar Sarovar Dam
          Total distance covered 355kms
          Date: 1st July 2012

          Abhishek Patel on Yamaha R15 V1 aka Me
          Kshitij Pathak on Bajaj Pulsar 220F aka Kshitij22
          Kaushal Joshi HH Karizma ZMR
          Prakash Solanki on Yamaha R15 V2 aka ABikerAtHeart
          Tipu Contractor and his Friend Ashit in Alto (our Utility Van and official photographer)



          Kshitij aka kshitij22 fellow xbhpian, does amazing corners. Discovered new capabilities of his P220f.



          Prakash, aka ABikerAtHeart. His first trip on his shiny new R15 V2 LE. Truly a biker at heart.



          Kaushal, fellow member from our Photography club "Drashtikon Surat" and long time biker.

          He called me on Saturday evening asking if there are any plans on Sunday, Weak memory of mine forgot to ask him for this ride before, good that he called and manage to confirm within just a few hours, was fun riding with him. Also owns a Honda Stunner.





          Finally, who needs a boring intro of me ?? :P

          My connection with my bike was taken to a whole new level, the confidence I got while cornering and near knee scraping, was a feeling I was hoping to attend since a long time, but the confidence wasnt building up, not on bike but with myself, but that day, i was in for an surprise, The R15 V1 refused to loose control no matter how low I went, it felt as if i was gonna sleeping on the road with my bike, can clearly see the minute textures on the tarmac while on the bike, but didn't manage to touch the knee, I was at a point when my knee was just an inch from the road, but the bike was like, "ehhh ? is that it ?", like wow, it has been 2 years since I got my bike, and it surprises me by each day by the handling and power it has to offer. I now got the confident to flawlessly pop my knee out without caring about the fall, the R15 handles anything like a boss.


          And not to forget our extremely useful Utility Van driver and On road photographer Tipu (he forgot his id over here) , he couldnt come with his bike due to certain reasons, but that didnt stop him from joining us, He came with one of his friend in his Alto which was named Utility and Refreshment van :P. Not to mention he was able to keep up with even our 110+ on his CNG powered Alto :P, damn impressive. But when he saw us ripping the curves, he couldn't stop but lease my bike for a while for some quick turns and did some 4 to 5 laps before I snatched my bike from him. , we totally made sure that he missed his bike that day :P by talking about exciting turns and corners we took enroute. He realized he made the biggest mistake of the century by not bringing his bike :P, he still regrets (as of 20th July)

              Nice start but piece of advise.. when you are cornering or even doing a trip for that matters, wear some riding gear like a jacket or knee guards.. just be on the safer side....
