    • Motorbreath for sure, hez the most happening thing in "xbhp Mumbai...", most matlab MOST wala most...
      Oh man Motorbreath must be the happiest person in the world by reading that! Cheers to you Motorbreath! Also good to know your bikes performance has increased!

      About the ride - just spoke with Inder, says he's fine. What about Cosgeo, Winzee and Shiva? I pray no major injuries? To the body and the bikes?

      • Im fine, reached home. The bikes good the jst the front headlight assembly is scratched. Moms cool, for change. Dad ka pata nahi. The ankle is painin a lot yaar, have to go for xray tomm (Exam bhi tooo hai kal......)

        Winzeee n Shiva are fine tooo. Winzee was ridding his bike after we reached mumbai.

        The ride was goood. I had never been to lavasa. I love the roads n the scenery around. The ghats are killing and if one rides with 100% concentration on road & leave the inner Rossi inside for sometime then it would be a life time's experience. Haha MG, I didnt recognize him............

        Distributed some tees (Kisine paise nahi diye. Friends dont forget to pay.) Had tea n bhajiya at the tapri. Then moved downhill slowly slowly like ants....... I guess niranjan would post a detailed trip log. Hold on till then.....

        I didnt read the posts tht were deleted, but can guess wht they were all about. I knw the reason behind the first crash but dont want to go into it. Jst one thing i would like to say tht it was not the riders fault this time. After shiva and winzee crashed I had three options in front of me, Change the line and move forward, which was quite difficult and risk due to the oncomming trucks. The scond one was keep rolling go ahead n stop, this was not possible at the distance between me n shiva's bike wa less than 20 mts, if i chosed to move ahead there were chances of me running over winzee's hand (Im not tht cruel). The third one was try to break n crash, so thts wht i did and to make tht decision easy somethin from winzee's bike broke off and came underneath my rear tyre. Ive always being saying on previous such incidents, There are two things most important for safe riddin, one is the drivers skills and the other is luck (Some might not belive it......)

        @MG: Sorry for such an introduction...............

        @All: Good or Bad I broke my camera today. The sony is shattred into pieces. So no one has to worry bout the late posting of pics, there will be none from now. With tht goes my heart & dream too. Ill try to recover all pics from the mem card but cant gauranteee.

        • ^Oye chupoye cos! the crashed camera means time for a bigger and better and more wonderful pics yaar!

          @MG.. I second Chetan, the idea of posting all the info will help in knowing what went wrong... NOW I know there is a turn enroute to Lavasa which I need to be watchfull and carefull off!
          I really wasnt jumping the gun, I just said that people may not have properly followed the formation ride logic, which comes with my little experience of riding with them...

          Had there been Chetan, Bobby, Anup, Razor, or off late even our world-famous-in- mumbai-rockstar aka MotorBreath leading of manning the groups then it would have been a different comment! I am not blaming anybody btw only those name coz I have ridden with them, and they are fast but are sensible on roads!

          Cos I was also wondering how you crashed man! Tu itna senty mat ho yaar!

            Good to hear you guys are ok... and nothing major happened, would like to know more on the incidents (if everybody is ok with it being posted here).

            Lavasa is one amazing place to visit, specially when you keep urself in control and try not to go overboard but to enjoy the place and roads.

            Luck plays a big part (probably the biggest) ... I agree with you. But attitude comes first and that decides your destiny... safe riding always helps.

            Sorry to hear about your cam man.... (Camera ka naseeb kharab tha - its luck played a big part I guess )

                  • good that the ride is over and people have reached safely with couple of bruises....i hope all in all people enjoyed a lot..and hopefully learnt a lesson on controlled aggression.

                    i hope that these incidents put some sense on the dangers of riding fast, dangerous cornering, importance of protective gear, calm mind etc....

                    kaustub, i am really sorry to hear about your camera and hopefully you can get it repaired.
                    winzee, boy o boy i hope you did not sneek out by telling your dad that i was coming for the ride...hope you get well soon
                    shiva, all is well that ends welll
                    inder, i dont have my regular phone hence your number is not available so i didnt call and yell at you...anyway i hope there are no broken bones..and all are minor bruises....bechara zma...take care of her....
