      The time I pulled over to take a pic, was because I thought everybody were ahead :P (apparently not true), but after you passed I was sure that there was nobody left behind :P And that lead to even more stops on my side :P
      I'm not sure about this because I was far behind, but I think the trip lacked formation. When ever I saw a member from the group it was not more than 3 people at once. And over taking was rampant, sorry to point out but the blue pulsar guy (150/180) always got on my nerves, even when there was some semblance of formation, this guy didn't fail to overtake and move ahead.

            good to know that u've got ur shoulder fixed.
            i must compliment u on ur lucky stars, that the damage has been mitigated w/ minimal loss.
            u were lucky to be alive & worst could have happened.
            my hunble request to you is *please* ride with passive attitude & ride safe.
            see u @ the next ride
            Mr. My-bike-doesn't-go-beyond-60, all of us called your bluff today! This ride was actually a conspiracy to ratify your Ct. Slow credentials
            I got overtaken twice... and before Kasara ghats you were leading me by a comfortable margin in distance and speed when my speed was 80+ (speedo indicating 85)

            We are all lucky to be alive doing the things we do, in a country that hardly values human life. Everyone has off days and lapses in concentration, but agree one needs to be at 100% while on the road

            yup, was having a nice ride, and while entering the restaurant, the gravels betrayed my wheel, the fall was minor, but I fell on my shoulder..

            Sure man, I learn quick , see you soon.
            Take care dude, am sure you'll come back stronger from this learning. Resist the temptation of riding till you're nearly 100% physically fit
            Gravel and the dirty sides of the road can very deceptive and I've had close calls in earlier days too. So don't be gutted. Just one bit of advice- you need to be in control TILL the bike comes to a standstill and both your feet are on terra firma.

                              Lol and you tell me I stop and take too many photos :P
                              ha ha ha... u actually imagined that u will be the last one? how careless can one get
                              and BTW, 80% of my fotos have been taken while the bikes were either parked or stationary.
                              i am, as of this moment, untrained in the fine art of having a leak &/or adjusting the undie liners while in-motion

I got overtaken twice... and before Kasara ghats you were leading me by a comfortable margin in distance and speed when my speed was 80+ (speedo indicating 85)
                              perhaps u are either suffering from the case of mistaken identity or acute epilepsy or mebbe both...
                              me @ 85kmph+ - just no way in hell man
                              and just in case u didnt know... all pulsar speedo's are fried up - always show speeds w/ 50% ambiguity!

                                Don't blame me if I lost count of the number of people who got ahead of me I'm just riding at my own comfortable speed.

                                Lolz dude you were doing speeds upwards of 80 kmph easily!
                                I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.
