Re: Day Rides

Awesome pics.. and good to see various range of bike

Re: Day Rides

Thanks. I like to mix up my rides with bikes of all types. This enables me a break from the relatively higher speeds that I'm used to most of the time by allowing me to just enjoy riding easy and have loads of fun.

Re: Day Rides

This picture is from yesterday's ride to Lonavala for breakfast. Riding buddy Gurpratap made his first ride since his crash five months ago. The pace was easy amidst an overcast rather balmy morning. We were joined in Lonavala by Asheesh about 45 minutes later on his BSA Golden Flash. Welcome back G, you have been missed.

Re: Day Rides

This set of pictures are from last weekend's rides as well as today's ride to Lavasa. Last weekend Saturday I rode solo to Wai amidst a cold morning at 15 degrees. The ride was invigorating and was a welcome introduction to the rather hectic weekend that had just begun. Later in the evening Gurpratap and I along with our wives attended the Superbike show at Amanora mall. Honestly, it wasnt as good a show as the previous year and they charged Rs.300/- per person which wasnt advertised in their promotional material. Not done and not appreciated organizers!!

On Sunday Gurpratap and I rode to Lonavala along with Jamal who had flown in the previous evening to collect his Bonneville for his ride back home to Ahmedabad. Jamal's Bonneville was sounding super after the stock exhaust change to free-flows which he had bought from Gurpratap. After a leisurely breakfast at Ramakrishna and some bonhomie we parted ways with Jamal who rode on to Ahmedabad to reach at 9pm. Good riding with you buddy!

Today Gurpratap and I rode to Lavasa which is G's favorite circuit and which for him was after five months. The morning was cool and being a Saturday the hills werent overly crowded with bikers and cars. G put in a stellar performance after his crash. Good ride bro and May the Force be With You!

Re: Day Rides

Went to lavasa today. Saw a group riding a combination of cbr 650, 1000, ER-6 and Mahendra Mojo
Mojo sounds pretty good.

Re: Day Rides

Hope to catch you sometime at Lavasa on a weekend. Holler if you see a green N300 usually riding with a black Bonneville. Lavasa, especially on a Sunday is full with bike candy. Ha!!

Re: Day Rides

Sure will...

Re: Day Rides

This video contains footage from two rides, the first off which was with Gurpratap and I alongwith my wife to Lonavala to accompany Jamal who was riding back home to Ahmadabad. The second part of the video is from the ride to Wai with our daughters last Saturday morning. The Welcome Winter rides encompasses the invigorating feeling that one feels nowadays in the morning when the weather is around 15 to 18 degrees. I hope you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed making them.

Re: Day Rides

I hope the fix the road to lohaghad fort. As of yesterday the road was non existent at so many places especially in some of the steep climbs.

Re: Day Rides

Thanks for the information and update. The kind of ride and destination that is avoidable for me.

Re: Day Rides

That's a lovely set of memories you have and lovely roads to create them on. Seems like you have a happy bunch of buddies to ride with, good stuff.

Re: Day Rides

These pictures are from a very cold Sunday ride to Lonavala which was busy with bikers from Mumbai and Pune who were all togged in their finest and enjoying themselves. As Gurpratap is away to Goa on a family holiday, this was a solo ride.
