    Nope, couldn't have been me because I came from the Mumbra side and took all the flyovers right upto Suman Nagar

    Another thing to make me easily identifiable is the fact that I weigh in at 115

    So, a fat guy on a P220 wearing a yellow vega would be me

      Welcome, the fastes Indian

      @P220_noob:Age is not at all a factor.My uncle, now aged 60 was an extreme tourer(of his times).Even to this day my granny tells tales of him riding a lambretta from Jabalpur to Hubli.He underwent a surgery to replace his shim bone and ankle which were results of an insane riders negligence. After that due to health issues he was not advised to travel much.But his spirit for touring has never gone. Now he trying to borrow my ride to go to Kerala to visit a friend of him.

      Forget the story, "Age has got nothing to do with motorcycling" .On the other side you can inspire younger chaps to be better riders of tommorrow.

        Jabalpur to Hubli and that too on a Lamby??? Hats off to your uncle from my side

        And you're right, age has absolutely nothing to do with motorcycling -- and as Bryan Adams has said in his song -- I am 18 till I die

        I too have been contemplating a trip to Kerala - now that I've got a bike suitable for touring, let's see, I might make the trip soon
