Pan India Trip

Thanks Ravi. God is the common factor! But more specifically it's the encouragement of the likes of you that's goading my spirit I presume! Thanks!

"RESPECT".
Glued to this thread from Day 1 and I must say riding solo(even though fun) needs lots n lots of guts. Hope to see you soon as you approach Hyderabad. Till than keep rocking and ride safe

Shoots again Did you have a chance to meet Ramesh Madhavan from xBhp? He's also an avid solo rider, currently in Jaipur.

Best Wishes!!

I reached Jaipur comparatively early, by 4pm, found accommodation, freshened up and from 5 to 9 pm was just loitering. I had no idea that some other xBhpian was touring the town.
Reached Bhopal at 8pm. Will leave for Ahmedabad tomorrow morning.

Thank you! That's a pretty heavy word and I'm not sure I can bear the burden! Of course! It will be my pleasure to meet Hyderabad xBhpians. It'll be a perfect home coming!

Thanks! Shettre. Biking is a passion and like any passion it thrives on spirit. And spirit in turn is a multiplied derivative of like minded/passioned people. So the spirit which you are considering mine is sum total of all of you people who have made the biking their passion. So thank you all!!

I like what Mr. Holla says in each of his updates and like more what he is doing. Genuine passion personified.. Wish you a safe and happy ride...God bless you and your family

Your ride justifies my signature quotes

Ahmedabad...hmm...I remember a guy Ayaz, very nice & kind person whom I met in my first trip to RJ during Sep 2011. However he doesn't seem to be active (or may be I'm not following close enough). He helped me cross Ahmedabad towards Palanpur.

well the ride will be on hold for a few days. he was riding from ahmedabad today morning where he met wid an accident for a bunch of digs came running across the road..

he is fine.. though he got his wrist hurt. helmet did save his life and some minor bruises.. bike is at apex honda ahmedabad.. he is back to hyd today evening by flight for a family doc checkup. once fine in a few days. he will resume the trip.

will be meeting him in morning to catch up with him.. yeah but we are preparing to get back to the trip asap...

he will be home for a few days.. so guess guys... he will be updating this thread soon with all the untold stories of across india.


aargee.. you gotta wait for some more time mate to catch up with him in chennai. he did tell me that he spoke to you...

Thats a sad news! Get well soon... Hope everything goes fine in his checkup.

wish him a speedy recovery

well i did not mention.. but the wrist needs rest.. their is possibly a fracture.. however unless the family doctor dosent comment anything i will refrain to post.
whatever may be the case. how many ever days it might take. the bike is in ahmedabad and getting fixed. the trip will be resumed and not left....

Oh dear. Thats what i was wondering why there were no updates from him. Hope his wrist is fine and the confidence and biking spirit is getting back to normal. Wish you a speedy recovery, get well soon and jump back on the saddle, sir. Chak de .

Thanks guys! For the concern & wishes. Well this is an eventuality that every biker has to come to terms with one time or the other. I started around 6.15am from Ahmedabad towards Daman and half an hour later five dogs chasing one dog came suddenly across the road and I at a peed of around 70-80km could do nothing but go through the bunch. I hit one of the dogs bang in the middle (was hoping to hit either of its ends!) and fell along with the bike. Some construction workers lifted the bike, my things and me. I removed the helmet and saw that it was badly scratched on the left side and felt pain in the left forearm and saw a bulge. I realised that my forearm bone was broken. One of the construction supervisor Ganpathbhai took me to one Sharma Hospital where the X-ray showed that one of left forearm bones was clearly broken. The doctor said that it needs plating. Then I contacted my family doctor a reputed orthopaedic surgeon and was asked to come down to my home town. With the help of a family fried in Ahmedabad I took the evening flight to Hyderabad and then in the next morning was driven to my home town Karimnagar. In a couple of days I'll be operated upon in Hyderabad. The vehicle is in Ahmedabad and needs left foot peg, faring, blinker, visor and a few other parts replaced. The Apex Honda people said that it might be a while before they can get all the parts. I don't yet know when the doctor will permit me to ride, but once he does I'll resume my tour from Ahmedabad and finish it, which according to my schedule will take another ten days max. Till then I need to lie low I guess. I hope that I'll be able to finish the trip soon. Once again thanks guys!
