    Thanks Saaki for the Writeup,remembering the time we went to lansdowne.

    Pics have come up to be Nice,Did someone not had a camera.

    I Missed a Ride to the Hills this time, but in the mean time enjoyed a Ride of a lifetime on Ghats and East Coast Road!
    So it was balanced here this time, Will try to join in the next possible trip!

      Day 1
      Just before the day we had to leave i was so excited that that i couldn't sleep for the whole night but as we had to ride for the whole day i tried to take a nap for an hour but that was not in my luck ,my phone beeps around 2:30am ,i thought so early they are leaving what i see is a Facebook message from a guy selling his modified Swift, i was like Damn.Again i tried to sleep but this time it was late ,As per my talks with Aseem ,he had to call me before leaving Karnal By-Pass at 3 and we'll meet at Panipat toll, My phone rings at 4:15am and Mr Kunjal saying Where are you ,we are at toll.I was like whats this??i removed my blanket and said i'll take 15-20 min. I called up Lovish and said get ready they are at toll we have to reach there in another 15 min.I just washed my face ,wore my gears and tighten my bag with bungee cords and moved out,as i run for 100 mtrs i found some squeaking noise and i found that in that hurry i tighten the cords touching my tires and cords torn off. I carefully ridden my bike to toll and after small Hi- Hello with only 4 Xbhpians i found and we left @ 5.00am .Kunjal was sweeping and near haveli in Karnal he helped me with his bungee cords to tighten the luggage .It was all set now and we started moving .It was looking amazing riding between fog, empty roads and cool breezes .We took our 1st stop to reunite at Ambala
      The Rising Sun

      We introduced each other and took some pics and started moving together.Though all faces were known but still part of the meeting,Indian07 blood was new to me. Abhishek was leading us as he was aware of the route ,after riding for an hour or so we took a tea break at a small Dhaba in Bhanur(I guess its right name)


      Pics are clicked by Lovish so all the credit to him
      More to come....

            It was a break just for 15 min,we finished with our tea & snacks,cleaned our helmets ,took fresh water face wash from tube well and started heading towards our journey from there.Mind you we are still hungry for heavy breakfast.As we were on the way we found a Bhakhra- Nangal dam extension and i was the first to stop there for some pics.It was huge and flow was scary ,so fast that even the bridge on which we were standing was shaking.

            Ground was thumping

            Look at the flow

                finally i have done it...

                woow.....
                nice write up saaki bro...
                and abhishek sir....some nice photographs too....
                please wait for a day more as i am still busy...so can't upload the photos...
                NOW....
                finally..it feels great to pen down the experience that i had in those 3 days...
                was eagerly waiting for my first ever LONG RIDE...
                day after day used to call up saif bro and ask him " what's the plan sir..??"
                "kuch karo yaar...."
                and he replies...." i am making it out and will let u know when its done.."
                and again i have to wait....then on a sunday morning he called me...and said i am waiting and have a plan so...come to shopping centre quickly..
                i reached there in no time and saif bro told me about DHARAMSHALA plan that he is in...and asked me about it...i was still thinking that " shayad yeh plan bhi....."
                but after long chat there we both went to our places...another xbhpian vishal dropped his plans so i and siaf bro were only left...from panipat.
                somehow i managed to force my parents to allow me to go on this ride and as it was my first time in hills ...they were very much scared and sayin no to it..but i had to some how convince them that i will ride safe and as i am going with xbhpians so...dont even think that they will let me ride rash...
                finally i won .....caleed up saif bro...done from my side and he too was like finally we are on the right track..
                excitement was on its full limits...sleepless night followed and my tension building up too get my tyres and silencer changed...
                but as one of the B.R.O BOARD SAID.." IMPOSSIBLE TAKES TIME DIFFICULT WILL BE DONE IMMEDIATELY"..
                it was all done on thrusday....
                was happy for that.then it was the time for last minute check up for my bike..everything fixed up, i called saif bro to help me with to put up my bag with the cords. petrol tanks filled upto the neck at night only....ant then saif bro came to my place and after few words between my mum and saif bro regarding how safely xbhpians ride and i can feel the satisfaction but still there was some pressure and responsibility on my shoulders to drive safe....with all that mind set i tried to sleep but who can..with so much excitement the mobile watch was showing 12:30 and i tried more to have a nap thinking i had to ride the following day...closed my eyes and don't know when i succeded....but when eyes opened it was 3:50 and i was like shit i think i missed it...but still no missed calls my mind started thinking ' kahin yeh program bhi cancel....!!!" then finally i tried to dial saif bro's no and was just pressing the call button suddenly my phone vibrated...."SAIF BRO" calling i picked it up in no time and he said "LOVISH WO LOG TOLL PE KHADE HAI TU JALDI SE READY HOKE MERE GhaR AAJA...JYADA TIME MAT LENA WO WAHAN WAIT KAR RAHE HAI.."
                but then i thought that without a bath my eyes will not open up....and went straight into the bathroom n within minutes i was done...( i think it was the least time ever i had taken...because i just love to have a lOOOOOOOng bath...)then after having a glass of milk...after taking blessings from my parents...off i go....with just a single press bike was on...gave her seconds to warm up....and just started accelerating to saif bro's home but he meet me in the way and asked to ride fast but safely...
                and i was feeling on the top of the world....FINALLY I HAD STARTED MY JOURNEY....MY FIRST ROAD TRIP YES man i have done it after looong loong discussions and plans ending up in smoke i was going...i have made it man...
                and within minutes we were on the toll plaza where we meet our fellow riders i wished i cud have captured that moment but we were already late...so never mind after a small introduction we were ready....
                this was just the beginning...
                TO BE CONTINUED...


                AS IT IS MY FIRST EVER WRITE UP SO PLEASE PARDON ME FOR THE ERRORS...AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED...
                when i ride...I RIDE...!!!

                      After clicking some spine-chilling photographs of water we quickly moved further. As everybody was feeling hungry so we decided to cover a non-stop stretch till Kiratpur sahib.After Reaching Kiratpur sahib we took turn to Bilaspur and just after running for two kms, we braked at a Dhaba finally .It was the time to give something to tummy so that we can enjoy the ride happily and Tummyfully.Ravi bhaiya found that his rear tire's corner part was touching some where due to which some part was ripped.
                      So we were done with our breakfast with Paneer, gobhi paranthas with cold drinks.Dhaba wale uncle asked "kitthe jaa rahe ho tussi" (where are you going) we told him the destiny and he told us that go from Una as it'll be shorter than bilaspur and road is good.When everyone hitted that Una road trust me each of us was cursing Uncle for showing us this way.It was that bad road.Anyways after having breakfast Ravi bhaiya left for getting his bike fixed and we decided to take some pics.
                      Then we started moving towards Una from that "roads in the potholes stretch" not Potholes in roads.On that way i can't even see a small hill and while riding i asked Ravi bhaiya "Are we really going to hill station"Ohh finally that stretch was over and we started twisting in hills ,Wow i just love that feeling when Janes Addiction's true nature was running through my ears ,Bikes were rolling in the hills ,Bending ,Speeding.I guess you guys are getting it?? Yes it was Torque movie's first song YouTube - True Nature.wmv
                      Wow!!! I can't describe the feelings i was getting that time,The only thing missing was the Superbike,But still i am the owner of Indian superbike.

                      Then we took a break in between for some tea or you can say to give rest to our butts suffering from Una road ,we had tea and oranges given by my mom ,clicked some pics and started the engines to move up to Mcleodganj Non -stop .Running from wee hours of the morning, Finally Xbhpians Landed at the place of Lama.The peace town - mcleodganj. Though i hardly like calm places where there is no crowd but this place mesmerized me in the first instance .No noise,locals are so quite and calm. I just loved the place
                      X After tummy full of Paranthas

                            @rest: Put up something guys!

                            @Sikhbiker: Yes, I remember. Here WE were during our induction ride, at the same place.
