  • [Photo Feature]: A Lazy morning ride to Avalabetta

    OK, so let me tell this beforehand guys that this is more of a photologue than a travelogue. Dada aka [MENTION=61921]SuvraGanguly[/MENTION] and yours truly, had gone to Avalabetta today morning. Posting some teaser images as of now. Will post more details and pics once the log is approved.

        Oh ho. This was where the inspiration came for your facebook posts. Both of you posted the same fancy line. What was it? "Biking is not a lifestyle but my life"

        Ready for Bollywood the both of you
        Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

            HAHAHA well, do read the rest of the tlog, it surely is inspired from Bollywood.

            Thanks for approving the log Divya bhai.



            Before i start the log, i just want to say something. We the bikers, we love our bikes so much right. We love to travel on it. We always use it as our primary means to travel, as if there are no other means of traveling from point A to point B. So, basically we just need a reason to ride. The love which we show towards our bike, heck very few people can understand it. The world which we see, consists of only we, the bikers and our bikes and unlimited miles to munch . Aaahaa, it would have been so nice right, if the actual world was something like this, or even half of this, but wrong the real world is exactly opposite to this. OK let me put it like this, if we the bikers are Sharukh Khan and our bikes Kajol, than here comes the hurdle, Mr Amrish puri aka Vitamin M, which always comes between our bikes and us. Vitamin M is the only crucial thing which separates our dreams from our reality. OK so before somebody comes and bashes me for bringing all the BOLLYWOOD TAMASHA here, let me tell you all that this is what happened with dada and me. We so wanted to go to Sakleshpur g2g, had made so many plans related to it, but thanks to Mr Vitamin M, we had to drop the plan of attending this wonderful g2g. Man, whenever we want Mr Vitamin M to be with us, it will always does the opposite.

            Anyways, we wanted to ride though, so thought of visiting any nearby place . the option of Nandi hills obviously was dropped immediately, cause it stays overcrowded on weekends and is too commercialized also. We wanted to go somewhere which was not that far, but at the same time not that crowded, and what better place than Avalabetta. Yes this is what we thought but let me tell you, even Avalabetta has started getting overcrowded, at least this is what we saw when we went there. 2 years back when we had gone there, it was so calm and quite. So, we decided to drop the plan of going to the top, and instead we went to the nearby lake. This is how the roads( or no roads, you people decide ) were, which was leading to the lakeside.

            The place was really good, the view which we saw from there was simply awesome, which just cannot be expressed in words.
            Actually this view made us stop there.

            We stood there for some time, clicked couple of pictures, discussed about various things, about Biking mainly, and also about the niggles which our beloved R.E's produce. Soon, the Sun had started glowing and we started to feel the heat of it. So we decided to leave the place. While coming back we had our breakfast from Kamat. Saw some BADELOG aka Super bikers there. Forget riding jackets , they were not even wearing helmets . IRONY of life. Those who deserve, doesn't get, those who doesn't, gets everything. Anyways we had our delicious breakfast there and left the place. Nothing much to write about the return leg. Reached home in an hour or two. All in all, the ride, though a small one was a very good one. This again proves, that you should just ride, long or short, that doesn't matter in the end, as long as you are happy from within, after the ride.

            P.s - Mr Monkwa, i know after reading this log, your dirty mind might have started working by now, especially after reading the last line. Please don't think too much, as i wrote it purely in our biking language, with no double meaning.

            Ride Hard, ride safe brothers,

              Waah waah. Total bollywood. You are like the movie hero who looks cool in the movie, while the stuntman sits with the broken arm

              Saala, when we came to Bangalore to meet you, you reached there on that 'Haathi mera saathi' aka ZUV 500. Now you really expect me to believe that highlighted line
              Biking is not about what you have between your legs, its all about how well you use it!!!!!!!

                              Main sabki khabar rakhta hun! On a serious note, I found it only after seeing your watermark. One google search for celebs with hindi + english signatures gave me your bollywood ka rishta.
