it was indeed the independence day ride!!...

awsome ride..
reached home at 8.30pm.



it was indeed the independence day ride!
it was just me and my bike.
from a lil' early to dawn to a lil' late after twilight.
free from the work, free from the play,
it was just me with my bike for the whole day.
riding through the city, riding through the highways,
riding through the twisties or anything that came my way.
no traffic did stop, no slushy roads had its luck,
no distance seemed too far,
even the broken bridge had to face bad luck.
i was glad to be with the nature,
and the friends who were riding along,
along with the riders of the group,
with the sun, wind, clouds and what not and what all.
it was a adventure to mention,
just one of its kind,
felt like a ride to heaven,
and everyone watching us move,
and we watched their face filled with amusement and surprise.
the gods had played their game,
the time was at stand still,
didnt notice the sun god move.
the nature looked so beautiful,
the trees, shrubs, mountain and all,
the fields on either side, and the farmers looking at us,
and their children and grandchildren,
constantly cheering us.
the path we travelled had a new surprise at every turn,
and some insidents did happen,
but nothing had stopped us.
started from home and came back home again,
with a plesent experience in between,
that makes me smile over and over again.
some things come only once in a life time,
this was one of them.
still wondering if it had really happened,
or was it just a dream,





thanks everyone. i love to ride even more after this experience, i am short of words!!!

@All: Thanks for all the pics..
Now we are just waiting for the videos to be uploaded!! Especially the cornering ones on our ride back to B'lore..

Yeah! We sure had fun, but would have loved to have you along..!!
We were actually discussing over LUNNER, what if you had come along & had to cross that river (or rather stream), with your ride! (Videos must be coming up soon, I'm sure you'll love it once you look at it)

10k sounds so cool..
& the rear tires looked in perfect shape.. I guess maybe they're not gripping too well..

Yeah! The product of dreaming to own one is similar too!
Me in office working towards my dream..
Its guys like you, that make us wanna work even harder, to get there sooner..
Will definitely have my own 'The One', in a few years from now, parked proudly in my garage..

arey sala.. short of words after all that..

nice man.. nicely penned down.

We definitely will ride more.

ya we will..

@saj:

LUNNER was awsome . Tibby it was greating meeting you and the rest of the gang, making new friends is always awsome. I can just imagine The One trying to ford that river...

what is that LUNNER? split it out guys.

yeah me too . but honestly i was a bit scared..

it was nice meeting you too
meeting new people , making new friends , just amazing.

you could even be Xbhp's official G2G/R2G doctor..

Lol yeah i was telling John to give me the first aid kits and in fact my stethescope was in my bag yest . But you know the most amazing part was that we had the entire section of TN from the border to the damn in full awe of us; we were celeberties! Just looking back, seeing the whole line of lights in the RVMs gave me a feeling of being part of something special. Luckily no one got seriously hurt yest in the spills we had. It would have been really really tough getting some decent medical attention in these places. I dunno what i could have done other than simple first aid...and pray! These are the times i wish for a LifeFlight Chopper to be available here.

hi saj
nicely penned down your experience.....
as this was my first trip with 40+ bikes I didnt knew what to expect but definetely i got more that could be expected

i met new guys who have same thinking and mindset for bikes and I am very happy that I joined you all guys for the ride.....
nothing else would have made the day better than the 300 km run.....

guys just one more thing, the next time you plan any ride just count me in also...

@jhon bhai,it was nice to meet you and ride with you
@akhil sir,thank you for coming with us and spending some time with us....hope I will also scorch the roads with a R1 same as like yours
@ajay sir,nice riding with you too

@all other riders,thank you for making this ride a remarkable and unforgettable one....hope you all enjoyed my company

see you all at the next RIDE.....

Accidents do happen,and yes anything untoward happening would have been a problem. but we were organized and speeds kept were comfortable for all and safe. Just proper first aid saves a lot lifes.
So its time we actually think in terms of these lines and actually really be a well organized group prepared for any situation thrown at us.
We were watched every second. People stopped in their tracks to let us pass. they gawked in awe. they stopped whatever they were doing and and came road side. Children cheered us on. The flags on our bikes made us even more special. People were taking our snaps, videos , we really had everything going for us. The sheer number made us a crazy crowd magnet.
Those check post guys just let us go due to our sheer number.
We were a mob for some , showoffs for others, but for those who really knew, we were bikers, we were the real deal.

ya very true da.....
i was so happy to see the children and the villagers watching us n swinging thr hands towards us....
and it was my first night ride..while coming back to home .i was a bit scared coz of no street lights and moreover its a double way... but at the whole an awesome experience.
it was nice to make new friends also....
