@ShadowBoy.. heres my email address buddy.. [email protected]
jaldiiiiii!!!!!

such ride planned and executed on the spur of the moment are so thrilling. And with 9 bikes its even more exciting.

Kashid beach looks so deserted. Were you guys too early or is it just the sun? Name it the Coconut-egg bhurji-Maggi ride

It's ok buddy..better luck next time.. But we all missed u..specially Shadow..ajinkya and I... coz of ur cornering in Kashedi ghat last time.. The roads were perfect for u here...

Beach ki virginity...haha.. arre dont ask.. when we reached there..the beach was neat n clean..but once these wild a**es got onto the beach..ohh god.. they spoilt the entire beach with burnouts..n dugouts n donuts and what all n what not.. hahaha..

Pics milenge sambha ..milenge.. am on it...



Hmm..that's true.. even I got the same answer from Shadowboy that he can't come he has church on Sunday.. That's why even I was surprised to see him at Panvel McD...

That hotel is Himalayan Punjab I guess.. Food was really nice..though I had very lill food there...

Arre bhau.. I have posted only 2 pics here.. rest of the pics are by Shadow..
I m posting the pics as attachment here.. teasers and Shadow's pics..

@Ketan.. thanx man for remembering me on corners
even am desperate to feel some curve soon nywaz theres a next time always... all we need is a bike & road....

shadowbody to fultoo deman mein hai..!! my inbox is still waiting ........

Well i got a call from Sumit couple of days before the ride asking if i'd be interested in a sunday morning amby valley ride. Till saturday it was just the two of us who were game for the ride. As a matter of pure co-incidence i met Joshua, the guy with the Bullet TBird, on the previous day. A small chat and he also agreed to come along. So it was then decided that we would meet up Sumit at McD, panvel and head ahead.

We reached the spot and I noticed that a group of riders were already there. With a slight assumption that they were xbhp mumbai i decided to wait till Sumit showed up. And then an invitation was thrown in for us to join this ride to Kashid. They say, the more the merrier. Now i know what it truly means.

This my first xbhp group ride. Of the so many previous rides that i wanted to be a part of, it never happened due to problems at my side. This was something i dint plan for and it came as a pleasant surprise.

I wont go into too many details of the ride, there are guys here who are pros with trip logs. I'll leave that to them. But to add whatever i can this was my experience. I've been on shorter rides with friends but not as a biking group. This experience was totally worth it.

I had my inhibitions that i'm not a seasoned highway rider like the others and had not ridden with the guys before, so dint know how it would turn out for me. However at no point did I feel out of place riding with this group. It was easy to be a part of it and stay that way.

The ride to the beach was fabulous. The beach was like a freedom serum. It helped me bring out all the 'masti' boiling inside of me.

Chilling out on the hammocks, with the gang, with most of the Yam riders swearing at Yamaha for the poor after sale service, and a lot of other bike banter made the morning really fun. The ride to light house was an 'edgy' one but nevertheless something exhilerating.

The ride back to mumbai was fast and furiously hot. We could cook a meal with that heat. The meal that we ate actually at the panvel dhaba was scrumptious.

About the riders, all are a great bunch of guys. Winzee and Aman have a superb sense of humor. Ajinkya could not stop raving about the r15 and fz handling. The two r one fivers Ashish and Ketan are fabulous on their bikes. Every time Ketan went past a vehicle overtaking it, he made sure he gave a lot of 'oh my god' moments. Rohit, this calm dude, who'd add a dialog on the food, the light house and the heat occassionaly, was equally cool on the bike. Sumit lead the wolf pack everywhere, scavenging the roads trying to reach the beach and the fort. As for Joshua for all the while i've known him i've known him as a friend but not as a fellow rider so this ride with him was fun and a new experience.

All in all, first xbhp group ride, first ride to alibaug, it was totally fun. Hope to be a part of more such rides. And sincerely hope you guys enjoyed having me around for this one.

@ketan yes you've got the alias right.

@speedholica..
nice write up boy.. helped me visualize everything.. thnx to u..!!

Direct attachments...

Thanx buddy....! and that's a real sexy write up... Cool...

hahaha.. Well those all moves were calculated ones.. But still, m not that kind of a rider everytime.. you can ask fellow xbhpians for the experience.. I never hesitate to be at any position in the pack..be it lead..in the middle or at the tail.. Ride more with me and you'll get used to those OMG moments..hehe..

Of course..it was gr8 being with u for the ride.. Sure we'll meet soon in some other time...

Heyy Thanks.Awesome pics as usual.Still the better ones are yet to come I hope..
This one is the best of this lot.The road to Korlai.




Here's the view of the same road from top.



& You should have gone up on the fort.Its a small 25 min. climb and view is excellent.Guess you didnt have time.As told to you we had camped there for the night of New year.here's 1 snap of fort with me on top

@ DK.. thanx dude and nice pics there.. I had seen those camping pics on ur lappy the other day.. I remember those singing and dancing and what not photographs... Full dhamal it must have been..

Well yeah you r right.. We were running out of time and also the heat was killing..We couldn't think of climibing those many steps to get to the top.. Meanwhile I managed to ask the guide of light house, wht all can be seen on the fort. The info I got was that fort was ruled by the portuguese people.. There's nothing much on the top except the beautiful view of the sea..an ancient water reservoire and a few old cottages of portuguese people. The fort is under development by central government..

Thanx for the pics though...

@DK +1 , just love the first teaser pic---awesome view. ketan High resolution pics dal--it seems little dissorted have you compressed it to upload here as it has hampered its quality.
