The most touching was the children waving and saluting at us. The people at the A2 travel plaza where we had breakfast went crazy! everyone was taking pictures. I know a lot of the girls/women were impressedOriginally posted by avinrichards View PostAccidents 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.
. One of the crazy scenes was when we were on teh way to the toll plaza and the passenger in the car next to our convoy pulled out his DSLR and started shooting. That incident in the village is something i felt we could have avoided...but hey it happens! This is india, lol.

, but our very own johnny and ajay sir handled the situation and thankfully no injuries
... brought back certain forgettable memories for avin ...

Me too , waved at the children as an when they came along , it was so nice to see their happy and surprised faces when they saw so many bikes in formation going past ... It gave me an enormous sense of pride towards the country and an energy to ride a lifetime also a great satisfaction to know that we were able to put a smile on their face ...Originally posted by avinrichards View Postalways great to meet new people and most importantly people with the same views on biking.

Ive guessed as to what 'The LUNNER' is. Please do correct me if im mistaken:
Lunch + Dinner = LUNNER
You guys went off-road in surroundings that justify the name-tag. The 5 of us who left after the A2B stop went offroading on Hosur road.
My bike looks like its waded through a river of muck. No photos of the 'terrain' we encountered.
Will post pics of my bike, post-excursion, if possible.
Was a great R2G overall. Got to see Jasir, Ajay sir, Sunil sir and Akhil after a very long time. If it weren't for the delays, all the starters would have been in the damn-dam 'mugshot' (
)

Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
