Nice write Tom & Akhil... It was total recall of the entire G2G event

+1, your narration skills are just too good , trip log of our last G2G go Hogenakkal was also beautifully scripted by you

Cheers,
Pranesh

@ Tom, your write up s really good and kept me glued with the pics for couple of minutes.

@ Akhil, was wandering how were you feeling while riding the 15.

^^ Tom: you forgot the part where you missed the right turn towards Nandi HIlls God knows where you would have reached if not for Veda and Me informing.

Maybe Tom fancied climbing Skandagiri more than Nandi!

Thanks Avin, Pranesh, Reuterian.

Same here with me . & lesser weight saddled on the bike is always good .

By your decree, your Lordship !

I didn't forget. I overshot !

Been there too? . I didn't even know where that road went. Man, You are a walking GPS device - get your brain mapped & I'll shred the Eicher.

Hi! all,

It was a great time that we had in Bangalore. The ride, the chat sessions (under the banyan tree, in Tipu's old fort, at various CCD's, on the roadside opp Esteem mall, outside our apartment etc etc) and the opportunity to see the faces behind the used ID's and talk to them was just wonderful. You are a tight group guys with exceptional camaraderie flowing all ways.

Mav: you are the first two legged wingless chicken I have seen. But I did miss your presence and that promised coffee at CCD.

Thanks for believing in us. You will not regret it.

Front-on shots can be flattering for even the biggest pot-belly. But then you are no competition to me anyway....way behind in circumference there.

Like you'd said earlier...I was being clever. And to be honest, the R15 was a relief for me. Didn't need to keep half my cache memory perpetually engaged to the throttle hand.

It was great meeting you Akhil and thanks to you, we did manage to spend a good amount of time together. Missed sampling your R1. Looking forward to your 'fixing' of the big one.

Sksy: We had a wonderful and easy time in Bangalore, thanks to your near-continuous presence. The ride from Ooty chasing your Red turbo-charged ZMA was...well....a chase. You got bat-vision I guess. Plumelling through traffic sans headlight takes as much vision as intuition. Teach us that.

Gautam: You made it so simple for us to exit Bangalore. And made sure we left. Thanks a million.

Prajwal: I again suggest, start with volumes on desi bikes. then use the goodwill to get the sbk's. Hans Hotel at hubli was great. thanks.

Praful, Avin, Tom, Pranay, Shadez, Jasirman and all others who were there: Thanks a million for the great time

It was wonderful meeting you too, sir, along with the GIR gang. I feel proud to say we belong to a site like xBhp where biking is the only religion. And moments like this weekend are the festivities. All the best for the rest of the trip.!!

tom..!!

where are your snaps ??

rightly put pranay.. we all surely feel special..

and tom..!!

where are your snaps ??

I had some unavoidable work at 12.30. Hence had to give the CCD meet a skip
I'll definitely hold you to that cuppa if i come to Delhi (Preferably via the Zma-Express) sir


I follow 'M/s rossiter & Old Fox ke nuskhe' without an iota of doubt sir. Akhil's patiently replied to all my paranoia-induced queries since his One's first scheduled service (Where i saw the Raven in the buff ) and hence, his advice is always and will remain beyond my questioning. You being a fellow Zma R rider and xBhp's biking guru sir are an idol to newbies like me. Hope i can someday manage weekday-working and weekend-biking like you do sir

@ OF Sirji: ...... "It was a great time that we had in Bangalore.

Its been a humongous experience meeting you guys and lot of insight to know each one of our riding capabilities. I just dont want to forget this moment of truth.....big machines.....oh my god.......good human beings.........Im dreaming all the way and would never wakeup.

@ All know me closely: First ever most disciplined ride by me , thanks to everyone for this opportunity, it happend without my knowledge
I thinks its because of the passion and respect we have for the GIRs, R1 and our loving bikers.

I am happy to know that at least you have maintained the group rules this time.

from now onwards remain the same.

Some pics of the day.

Waiting for the GIR team, (yawn)





At last the might 1's stir the morning breeze







Junior R1


Ready to Ruuuuuuuuuuuuumble


Now you know how he got the overhead shot.




Now comes the question, how was these pictures of the great 'X' acheived? Look below for our monkey men.












That's all folks.

Cheerio

Yes it is unfortunate that my R1 wasn't back on the road yet. I was looking forward to you giving me some feedback on it. But you never know.. I might get a few days, and pop over to Delhi

I can't believe you were riding the R1 with that mangled front tyre. My right palm was aching within 5 mins from muscling her around even in the slightest of corners. Hats off! I'm glad you got it changed in Bangalore.
