      When I read the title, I was expecting Rossiter opening throttle through gears scaring the daylights off highway commuters. Hilarious !!!

          Special thanks to Keerthi sir for picking up the breakfast tab, Sunil sir, Shiv & Kiran for the flags, Remo, Saj & Sakthi for making sure the T-shirts were delivered without hassle and to everybody gathered for making the experience memorable.

          Thankful to all the Bangalore members of xBhp to have stood by me during some real testing times..

          PS: Eric it was fun on the NICE road...

          Special thanks to Vidyadhar, Niranjan and Mohsin for helping us in towing the R15
          I remember that G2G very very clearly

          Your R1 looks great, and you guys look great together as well.

            • Better late than never!

              Yet another memorable Independence Day Ride with xBhp.
              It makes me proud to be associated with xBhp as we organise a ride every year to mark this historical day for our country, and see enthusiastic participation as well.

              It was really nice to meet so many new members, some senior members for the first time, & some other senior members yet again!
              Some of the senior members are quite busy during the year, & it takes a ride of this magnitude to compel them to take some time out from their schedules to meet & guide newer members.

              A special thanks to Josh & Sakthi for arranging the T-shirts in such a short span of time, amidst all the confusion.
              A special thanks to Remo as well, for the wonderful design for the T-shirt.
              I liked the T-shirt so much & was wearing it throughout the day on Sunday, & a lot of people who I met, liked it too.

              The turnout for the ride was really nice, but it was saddening to see more than half of last year's participants not around in this year's ride. I wonder what kept them away!

              @ Akhil sir, John, Sunil and all of guys : thx again
              m not sure for next I- Ride day, next year
              but
              i can sure i will never forget all of rides with xBhp and BB guys
              Dude, how was the unplanned for pillion ride on the R1?
              & did your bike get fixed? What was the issue?

              Nice to meet old friends, make new ones, and do a bit for the nature as well. I was happy that we cleaned up that short 250 mts stretch in less than 5 minutes. Just goes to show what collectively all of us can do.

              Thanks to everyone for the sakthi, saj, and josh for the shirts, hisunil for the flags, and of course John for being part of it till the last moment. I guess he did put in a lot of groundwork for this ride, despite being detained at the last minute.

              Ride soon guys!
              Nice to be on the same ride again, exactly a year later.
              You really scared me in the morning, a few hundred metres before the meeting point.

              • Been silently looking at the pics and the videos for last couple of days.. Wonderful!

                It was an exhibition of diciplined ride worthy of being called one of the best rides. Everyone put in their effort to make things go right making it truly a team effort. And as I was not clicking any pics this time you guys dont have to wait for me to post any

                Thumbs up to all...

                  Yeah, Kanva has a special place in my heart...

                  Well Eric is brave pillion, considering I was doing 130kmph regularly with some hard braking...

                      Hmmm.. Nice
                      I sat pillion on n_aditya's Ninja 250R once near Krishnagiri, & we were doing 120-140kmph. It was bloody scary man. I can only imagine it on the R1, with much more quick pulling, & stopping of the bike. (I know you weren't accelerating too quick )
                      PS: Love that grin of your's ^^^

                      Nice to know that. Lets see how much you put it into practice.
                      I was down with flu last couple of days. Just recovered.
                      Will send you the pics man, once you pay the royalty for the poser pic to Ajay (I hope photographer also gets a small share ) for posing on his bike.

                            Was looking at pics of the previos ID ride in BikeIndia and could hardly relate to faces - I wonder if they cease to remain independent !
