@psycho and sikhbiker: very nice trip log and pics.
@zayn: a very nice ending and lovely pics.

by watching each and evry pic, m feeling as i missed some great moments that i could have shared with you all..
i was in amritsar and returned on 2nd, as the dates were 5th and 6th earlier, i planned my trip according to that, but my bad luck the dates were preponed..!!
though at that time i was not knowing the destination but still in my heart i was feeling that this ride would be for shimla only...

it would have been really a pleasure to meet Ken da and Aryan da....bt may be some other time,,,this is what i can say nw...



RIDE SAFE...!!

Hats off to Ken da and Aryan da for organizing this !!! Eagerly waiting to meet all you guys.... soon

Day 2

Time : 7:15 am
Place : Parking, Hotel Holiday Home Shimla.Getting Ready



Time : 8:30 am
Place : Hill top, Kufri
The Ride till Kufri was simply Awesome the whether was perfect, the turns were steep, the road was good and it was really fun to ride hills in group. Every thing is still fresh in my mind. We stopped for a while to admire the view and headed toward off-road track.

Beautiful Hills

Preparing for perfect shot



Biker's Dream came true

Look at the long Streach\



Time 9:15 am
Place : In Between Ofroad Track hmmmmmm.......



Time 11:30 am
Place : Hotel Holiday Home, Shimla
After completing Off road track we had our breakfast and zoom to hotel as Jasmeet was having some serious stomach issues .
After picking our luggage we started back to Delhi




Time 1:00 pm
Place : Few kms After Solan
The Ride from Shimla to Solan was ORGASMIC, If some one asks me about by best part of this trip then that would be this ride of 90 mins or so. I can see clear improvements in my skills after offroading session, my bike had open fully and was responding very well, so I was driving at good pace and was leaning very confidently. It was really really wonderful. And will never forget this part for my entire life.
After Taking break of few mins and clicking some pics with R1, we headed towards home.
And yes Ken Da and Aryan Da also recorded our Video while cornering


Time 5:45
Place : Some Restaurant, Haveli
Oh God we were tired, after travelling so much distance and that too without any major break was tiring indeed. We all crashed into sofas at restaurant and ordered food.
Ken Da, Aryan Da and Zayn wanted to leave a bit early, as it was getting late also Zayn was not feeling that well.
We four left Haveli after some time, and headed home
Road from Haveli to New delhi is really really good and traffic is also not that much. So we really enjoyed this ride. Said Good bye to Jasmeet and Psycho near ISBT and Headed towards home.

Balle Balle



Time 10 :10 pm
Place : Home
It was quite late thanks to jams and heavy traffic we faced near ISBT. But I finally reached home, after completing most wonderful ride of my life.
Trip Meter read close to some 840 kms and I enjoyed every micrometer of it.
Gave a good nite kiss to my Bike and stepped towards my house

My babe

End of Trip Log

Dont have any words to describe my feeling. as no amount of words can do justice to what we achieved in 2 days

Thanks xBhP

@the champ: nice end up bro...

@Zayn,@champ : nice ending mates. Specially the off roading thing,i just loved that.


@aryan da,@ken da : Would love to watch the videos.

@Aryan Da, Shivanshu Bhai & Ken Da: Thanks for the appreciative words about the log. It had been sometime since I had written something so I made doubly sure that I worked for it (though now I guess i gotta work ever harder to keep the reputation up :P, will think of some other way for the next log...)

@Zayn & Champ: Nice 2nd parts of logs.... The thing i love about multiple perspectives of the same event is that without fail, some of the things that are missed by one are covered by others (Jalebis, quizzing and the like). Gotta have more trips, and more logs

Congrats Tourers, feels nice to read your part of story and pictures. Looking forward for many such rides and pictures from you in upcoming times. All the best. and Ride safe

@Aryan and Ken Da: Thank you so much for such a fantastic initiative(THIS is called real involvement in the community IMO), hope same is replicated by senior and responsible members from other cities and towns in India.
