    Thanks buddy... Actually in hindsight it was me who slowed down a bit too much. Divya bhai can race - but he is not a racer..!!


    Hahaha [MENTION=41586]Divya Sharan[/MENTION] Is that an open invitation to race from sid ?

    Also [MENTION=42765]plasmabhai[/MENTION] , It isnt about using fancy words and grammar in writing, I as a reader could imagine your trip and know what you were feeling exactly through your words. That is all that matters Again nice write-up..direct dil se

      No one and I re-iterate, no one can race him! He's just too fast for our roads.

      P.S - Rated the thread 5 stars not because it features me, but for [MENTION=42765]plasmabhai[/MENTION]'s write up!

        Wow man, thanks for your kind words - mean a lot to me. I have always been partial towards words rather than pictures...

        Haha ROFL...!! Bhai accha majak kar lete ho...

        But jokes aside, the real thing is that the sticker on my swing arm and the new blinker fluid that I added (full synth) have given me an extra 100 horse power... no wonder the roads are too slow for me..

          I would say add few nimbu and mirchis to your bike to get atleast another 30hp. More the nimbu more gain in HP :P . Make sure to spread all these at different locations else your bikes handling may be affected due to addition of HP in one location

              15 kms before Krishnagiri I see a white ZMR parked on the side of the road - well thank freaking god..!!
              This reminds me of what happened in Sathyamangalam! How we got separated and I was shit scared thinking what happened to you two

              And thanks for making me regret not joining the ride

                Oye, you were the one who were left behind due to trucks ahead of you whilst we moved ahead. In fact, Sid was about to turn back in search of you after we had waited for 30+ mins playing with a dog and sitting along the road side. Seeing you come was the happiest moment of that day!

                And thanks for the compliments. In fact, me thinks @plasmabhai can write my code/design review comments too, to keep the management/clients interested in the artifact.

                    I didnt mean you & plasmabhai were not worried And seeing you two there was my happiest moment , I still remember after every corner I was looking everywhere hoping I would see you two but no. (In case anyone is wondering what we are talking about, its here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/2...thon-ride.html )

                    Anyways, I really missed a good ride.

                    And @plasmabhai, will you write reports for me as well? Let me know your rates

                        HAHA You bet I am going to make that thesis interesting... Going to put in all sort of time pass into it. Just hope to get that degree after that :P

                        ROFL!! You really know how to write!!

                        Sir - am taking inspiration from you only. Still cannot match the movie like suspense that you create

                        No but seriously - seeing this guy come was really a happy moment. In fact I remember I had walked up the road 50 meters to the edge of a turn looking down the ghats and all I could see were trucks and then I hear that glorious exhaust sound... Relief is what that feeling is called


                        And thanks for the compliments. In fact, me thinks @plasmabhai can write my code/design review comments too, to keep the management/clients interested in the artifact.

                        Thanks but no thanks... You write your design review... trip logs are more interesting to write for me

                        Yeah man on the whole this was a good, fun and eventful ride

                        And @plasmabhai, will you write reports for me as well? Let me know your rates

                        If the report includes road trips then I am all game. Price is sponsored road side tea on the highway for the duration of the trip

                            Kiliyur falls had no water. Hence, no stoppage there.
                            And we had our yummy lunch @Eggetarian.
