      Ok, I agree, its truly amazing! It is just so heart warming to see such vast empty stretches of Plain Land.

      Old Fox: its not that we dont know of these places, but the way you know these places, it makes us feel out of place( Ok whatever that meant), I wonder what would I feel when you visit Faridabad and tell me few facts and show me few great Pics of the Place I am born and raised in... Tussi Great ho ji!!

      @ all: Good that you guys have been there...and its better, now I can also go there...hehehehehe!!!

            Good off-roading experience there, OF sir! Thanks for sharing. I hope Operation Dessert Strom adds another feather to xBhp's hat.

                Thanks Ken. We missed you. Actually both you and Nitin as you could give hordes of younger riders a run for their money off-road these days, not just with those freshly acquired skills but also with that burbling enthusiasm.

                If would have gone on this should have learnt something as of how to ride on a non-tarmac pitch,for a amatuer rider like me guidance from you, vivek bhai, rajiv bhai and amardev bhai would have been a learning curve!!
                Damm!! I missed it!!

                Wasn't It a RX-135 5speed.?
                There's always next time. And even I am not sure now whether its a 100 or a 135.

                Sir, where are the other pics....

                As far as my experience with F2, it was great till Kothputli and then till Dharuhera I was a crying blood tears....Could not contact anybody and also could not find even a single mechanic who could fix my sprockets. Finally after dragging that dead white machine for 4 hours, I was able to get one mechanic at Dharuhera, and guess what after that I suddenly felt that the machine that I have ridden thorough out is damn so awesome, that due to those issues (unkown till beaten) I could not enjoyed to the fullest. After getting it fixed it ran so well that I reach my office in Greater Noida from Dharuhera in just 1 hour... I was amazed with the way it flicks through the traffic and picksup the speed (never expected).
                tears of blood. Your knees have eyes eh! But then you have always been a fitness freak...right? So the bike gave you a thorough workout.

                The 'awesomeness' now comes from the ZMA throttle cable young man!

                P.S: I still don't like off-roading. I love being 'on road'.

                Get another stint of posting to Noida, preferably again in winter. We will ride together to and across the lake on our ZMA's.

                  @OF sir- I was never towards the off-road thing..But after reading the post I am inclining towards that too.

                  Specially the pics added emotions to the write-up.
                  JUST AMAZING

                    Excellent! Beautiful stuff. I am convinced now that life beings at 40, or 41 or 42, whatever the case may be!

                    This lake bed is India’s substitute to the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah, USA. One can ride on the lake bed for miles without encountering anything except flat land.
                    The only speed records that might have been recorded here though will be of the bovine kind.

                    Again, amaxing trip! Youngsters in Delhi should do more of creative stuff like this!

                        I am humbled, again, sir! Sadly, my new employer doesn't have an office in the NCR. I hope that I will get to tour with you one day.
