        Locking the front and flipping is the worst experience you could err experience.

                      • Wow that was quick Artone......
                        It was a huge turnout and it was fun....i had the most fun cause i was hardly a pillion....hahaha thanks to whoever lend me their bikes.....
                        The bikes i rode today was R15, P150 V1, Unicorn, P200 (2 different once)
                        Lucky day i must say...
                        R15 is good when it comes to cornering, Uni was very comfortable, P200 is fast on straights, P150 V1, dude that main stand was a major issue, scrapping the tarmac on possibly all the curves, letting out sparks....was killer fun though...

                        @ the turn out was huge:25 bikes if i am not wrong.....
                        It was a grand success...

                        Let me bring my side of the story here...

                        @ 5:30am: the alarm on my cell wakes me to a Sunday, all i knew was that i slept only at 3:30 am and with just 2 hrs of sleep i was more or less too tired to get up...so the next best thing to do to pump urself out of the bed is to listen to AC/DC....Highway to Hell...eyes wide open my fingers on the keypad typing a "Good Morning" message to Marcus....(Actually i was riding pillion with him today) so just wanted to check if he is coming to pick me up....
                        And Boy he didnt dissapoint me a bit. He was there on time and we rode to the "Thane Meeting Point"...Eternity Mall.
                        Soon in 5 minutes all gathered and we were on the roads that lead to Panvel McDonalds...with everyone following the correct group riding methods...we reached panvel with the sparse traffic in about 45 minutes...we were on time.
                        We were so damn hungry that we had burgers and fries to our full. Eagerly awaiting the "VERY EARLY COMERS" MotorBreath and the Gang..they arrived by almost 8am.

                        8:15: Odd we started riding it was a huge list of bikers with R15 dominating the numbers 5 of them....damn...that was too good. (2) P220, P200; RTR efi, RTR160, UNi, Discover, P150 (Many), Avenger etc....Riding as a pillion i was clicking photographs and enjoying myself.
                        The Ghats started and there was a small problem which one of the R15 guys had, He requested me to ride the bike..... this was the look on my face....wow.....
                        Reached Lonavala in no time at RadhaKrishna Resturant to see the Pune gang with Chetan Pulsar enjoying a hearty meal....aur phir kya hum Mumbai wale toot pade...becharo ka khana bhi khaya, had a bit more of breakfast (after the McD)....and i guess Inder and Niranjan paid for our bills.....
                        Sumit and Niranjan gave some riding instructions to all and we were all set to reach Amby Valley....
                        Amby Valley: Kare to Kya Kare...i guess most of us have lost the count of the number of trips we have been to here....parked the bikes in formation....There were a lot of newcomers so Niranjan though of having an Introduction there....One by one took turns to stand on a small pedestal and introduce themselves...Calvin and Shiva, Chetan, Motorbreath and Ritwik had their fun time in raggin all the new comers...sala they didnt even spare me....(MotorCH&^)....
                        after the intro was done, there was some bike testing that each one wanted to do...RTR efi was the only bike which i had not tested personally...so my eyes were glaring only at that orange color machine....the grunt on the bike was a standout from the earlier RTR, so that had caught my attention, took it for a spin and loved the handeling on the bike....good on straights...Braked at 90 and there was a slight skid..however all in all very good bike...everybody tried eachothers bikes...
                        Had a small Drag session and again the same old thing happened...(should i say it)....well..here it goes again...(MOTORBREATH ON A P200 IS BEATEN BY A P180..AGAIN)...i will be very happy to see the post of motor on reading this....

                        We left Amby Valley at 12:30 to reach at Lions point...some photoshoot...Group Photoshoot...some XBHP Praising Photoshoot...some getting their Orkut photoalbum photoshoot done...while i was getting some Matrimonial Website updation photoshoot

                        We split into 3 groups and rode to the same restaurant RadhaKrishna for our Lunch....( u guys reading this must be thinking na "kitna khate hai ye log" biking kam...khane ke liye gaye lonavala"......)
                        kya kare....biking makes u hungry and we follow the same priciple..."more is never enough"

                        After the heavy lunch we split ways..Pune Gang left and we took the road that lead to Mumbai...the ride back was a very comfortable ride..with the formation being a single lane...it was a mile long .....but was awsome..the amount of heads that we turned today and the amount of people who got neck spasams can vouch for that....(for others the photos will be uploaded)
                        Rode at a speed of 70 avg and reached Panvel in an Hrs time i guess...
                        We split and then we were on our own...reached home and still very much active to post such a big triplog......

                        @G2G guys: I did not mention a lot of things, the ride co-ordinators (Chetan, MotorCun*, Inder, Niranjan) can put some more light on the details of the happening

                        P.S: I have a short term memory loss problem i tend to forget names...however long term memory is good..so tomorrow i will remember all ur names.......

                        i had a blast i hope all the guys present had the same fun....hey but bored of lonavala and lavasa....next ride if all are fine then lets go to "Hari Hareshwar" .....what say ??????????
