[Raneet]

First of all, every biker who embarked on today's ride, I feel the need to thank you all for the exceptional touring spirit and group riding experience each of you imparted on the highway.
A very big thanks to each of you from my side for co-operating and coordinating in every situations like true gentlemen.
We can go a long way together like this.

To me it exactly felt like embarking on a Intergalactic ride with a group adventurous warriors.So I started the day with enthusiasm levels equal to Star Trek

Near airport I met Pranjal and Pratik waiting for the rest of the group,to my awe my ever ready cousin Ayan was already there with his friend.Then Sayan joined in.At Dakshineshwar,after 15 minutes or so of waiting Raneet showed up with Sunny following close behind.A minute later the Avenger 220 showed up with Sujit and his friend in tow.

Sunny Konkal as usual caused us much concern by remaining out of touch till 6.30.

Then 7 bikes moved off in a true blue fashion.We had a very delightful highway ride, with Pranjal wanting to test his Pulsar220 and Raneet losing the tune of his 220
After finding a safe place to halt, we stopped allowing Raneet to tune his bike. I helped him with my screwdriver and my knowledge to tune his carb properly .After setting his tune well, and abit of highway photography we moved off towards Hindusthan Dhaba.

Cruising was absolutely wonderful with four bikes leading the pack in a foursome formation, namely GS150R, two Pulsar220s and a white Karizma.

It felt wonderful riding with Sayan today,he rode very well with us and we had a lot of jokes and light moments together later at the dhaba.I definitely feel that he should join us on every ride and in G2Gs.

At the dhaba, we discovered the funny side of Raneet and over enthusiastic side of Pranjal.All these while waiting for Bappa to join us at the dhaba.
It goes without saying that many bikers wanted to eat as they felt hungry, but I kept waiting for Bappa to arrive and start our breakfast together.Maybe seeing me others felt shy about having food right away
We only finished our chai and was getting n with gossip, when Bappa and Bhaskar arrived in their Karizmas.

Then there was breakfast, group discussion, cracking jokes, merry making, testing each other's bikes, parking the bikes under a tree and Raneet's foiled attempts to pull my leg all the time before leaving for homewards journey.Well I tickled Raneet today and found he can be really tickled

However,the uncle whom Bappa had given his camera to click our Xbhp group photo, kept us waiting in our pose for near to minute in the scorching sun in order to get the perfect picture .God bless the uncle for it
Other than that thanks to Bhaskar for making it easy to pay my share at the food bill by returning my spare change

On our return journey,the enthusiastic Pranjal wanted a piece of 220 performance and have a bit of fun on the highway.The rest of the group being in the safe hands of Bappa, I embarked on guiding Pranjal to ride his Pulsar220 fast but safely.And Pranjal and myself were having our own version of high speed cruising, done very nicely.We had our stops moving up and down,in the closing lap of highway I took Pratik for pillion when Pranjal's fuel reserve did looked very hopeful

I also thank Pratik for clicking some photos on my camera while on the ride.
I hit a top speed of 125kmph today while carrying Pratik as a pillion with Pranjal following me in.

In one word, in today's ride,everyone had his own share of fun.
A video of the ride has also been made by the Avenger 220 rider while going pillion with Bhaskar.I hope to see it here soon.

Very nice ride, very safely ridden and done, the attitude of this biker's group was so near perfect.Right now I am feeling like going on another ride as soon as possible, and this time it would be Azad Hind Dhaba on NH6.
Hope to meet you all soon in a city G2G.Lets keep it up and Gangtok on two-wheels won't be far off now.

Now onto my share of pictures :


The day begins


The anxiety follows as we kept waiting for Raneet and Sunny and Sujit to show up.(Crap, I am looking cute instead of manly in this picture )


We get rolling.


First Highway halt, Raneet screwing his bike


Sayan asking for lift, and I gave him one in my camera .Sujit showing appreciation and my cousin looks handsome Raneet still screwing his bike (hence,I rushed to tune his carb after this pic )


We arrive for our breakfast



The bikes are enduring the heat and cursing us


My bike says hello


VIP being guarded by two monsters


Return journey, lets roll !!!!


Everyone rolls-on


Raneet leads, others thinks.......ahem follows


Video session in progress,Bhaskar rides as we show our smile


Monstrosity on the highway !!!






The Highway itself........experienced mirage on it today, due to heat and hot dry winds.

[shaurya.pathak]

i felt so bad, i even called the enfield hotline but they couldnt come and help me with my bike!it has developed some wobble in the handlebars, like a high speed wobble.i jst took advice nd said discretion is the bettr part of valour and stayed home.but now i just feel bad, there is some beauty about the highway, plus it was my bikes homeground nd i kept it on the bench!!!

[sayan]

@mandeep missd u man very much.......

[MACH50]

what about next Sunday??? Azad Hind Dhaba???

Not the next Sunday, but we can have one on 1st of May(but isn't it worker's day,we would be served no food at dhaba) after the polls have been done.It would give everyone the needed time to stockpile their fuel bills for the meanwhile

@Mandeep....thanx for the appreciation, not only a lot of new faces but also a lot Pulsar220s too !!!

sure no problem...but i will just be able to compare it with mine... as i have not ridden any stock 220 other than mine ever...

the helmet i bought is quite cheap man... STUDDS call it CHROME and i bought it for just 650 bucks from wellington... bought it coz it fits very well and is light as thermocol...
