Used to ride frequently for the near distance locations but never thought of making big rides. There was one in plan that was Leh but had very little idea of people riding to Gujarath and Rajasthan. Have seen very few posts about Gujarath - Rajasthan rides in forums. One of my friend who has done Leh ladakh ride last time told me about the plan and asked if I want to join. I was very tentative considering the expenses involved and the number of days. There were few other thoughts which i come across like ' You can always make money.. but not memories' and stuff!! Once that bug went inside i knew there was no turning back unless someone stop me from doing it. Just a month back i have taken two weeks holiday for my brothers marriage. So I knew my manager will outright say no as I anyway did not have annual leave balance. So i sent a mail and let my manager turn it down and so i can convince myself that i cannot go. Manager did not respond but in few days the travel bug became so strong and i was desperately waiting for the leave approval! So in a meeting i took the courage and asked him. He said okay will approve!! i was like what the hell happened!! Did not know how to respond but i was on cloud 9!!
Initial plan was to ship our bikes through truck(as train was not a feasible option) and then collect the bikes at Ahemdabad, do a clockwise ride on Gujarath and Rajasthan, come back again to Ahmedabad, ship the bikes back. Found one transport services and he agreed for 3k per bike. Almost one week back we sent our rides and we got a confirmation like after four days that bikes are shipped. All the route plans were made my Akash, who planned this ride with the help of HVK who is a good friend of him. All I had to do is pack my bags and get on with the ride. Total members are :
Akash - Pulsar 180(body of 150cc)
Ajay - Honda Unicorn
Suhas - Honda Stunner
Karthik - Pulsar 200 NS
Arun - Pulsar 150

I did laugh and said "Amma bus doesn't go to the places I wanna go" . Next thing she said was to just be careful 
many scratches and stuff, the centre stand of stunner was completely bent. We hit the road,filled the fuel and stopped at the first petrol bunk we found. Next stop was on Bajaj showroom as the coolant was leaking from Pulsar 200NS and also few minor repairs for all the bikes. Immediate next stop to have lunch as it was already 12 and we did not even had breakfast. By the time it actually started the ride it was almost 1 and we head towards Bhuj.
