      Very nice trip

      That was indeed a nice trip you folks had. I wish i could have made it out. I had been longing for a trip like this. I used to be a regular rider, pre Xbhp crash, but the established group slowly got dismantled.

      Hope we have a few rides lined up in the upcoming days. Sure, I would like to join. And it feels nice, to see serious bikers in B'lore still around.

      Nice ride guys!

      @SreeKirthi: When did you get back Sir?

        Sorry,not all. Just 3. Sunil sir had two HID's. SreeKeerthi had a killer projector HID and Prabhu also had one.

          I thought I should at least start off the trip log although I'm not overly enthusiastic about staying back in office to type this.The Sennheiser in my ears and Porcupine Tree will keep me going for a while though.
          Same combination here too bro! Feels good to see a PT listener in here

              Looks like a wonderful group ride and with Sunil sir present, I am sure it must have been.

              Waiting to hear more details and some more of Sksy's pics which promise so much. Really missing riding my bike.

              And what happened to Navnish after he ditched you, did he ditch and go to Madikere bcos I read something like that in Praful's thread

                Trip Log - Part - II

                So, we had started cruising at a constant speed. The 8 bike long chain breaking off was common. Prabhu's undies apparently were in Sumit's backpack which decided to take off on its own.the riders behind ended up being blindfolded for a while Just joking. This was one of the few reasons for the chain to break. Our first stop was at Adyar Anandha Bhavan with a BP petrol bunk, a few kms before we hit Krishnagiri. Tea would take another half an hour, so we decided to take off and stop somewhere else. Me and Prabhu started increasing our pace and ended up leaving the whole pack behind.Doing 3 digit speeds was safe.

                We were given orders to stop at Krishangiri but we kinda overshot, and stopped at a local tea wala much after the Krishangiri bypass. Few of us had some tea, chilled out a little, took some pictures.Decided to stop somewhere for breakfast. Average speeds shot up, few of us doing 3 digit speeds once in a while. We decided to stop at this hotel in Dharmapuri.(?) Not too sure.Pretty decent hotel. Parked our bikes and told the security guys to keep a check on the luggage and the bikes.. He had a hardtime chasing people away from the bikes,especially the GT's. Had some good breakfast, 2 rounds most of them. Loaded up with mineral water, we take off again. Ended up paying that security guy 25bux. He did not ask for it, but I guess it was his lucky day-25bux in 25mins. Now, the heat was catching up.

                Stopping the bike was like being robbed off the cooling mechanism for the rider.It was getting warmer by the minute.

                Ok, Ajay, where are you? I need some help with the log mate.

                    Seriously man, I'v been wanting to finish off with the starters but hell! Where is Ajay? I think he should do a better job with the main course. I'll come in when it gets to the part of Devikulam lake, cause he wasn't there on our ride to D.L.

                    OT: By any chance where you at Paramount with your buddies at Koramangala on Saturday night? Saw a red 220 with xBhp sticker and I thought I saw you.
