Kaavi Kamboi - 24th Feb'19

Happy Sunday Riders!! Today it was Riders day for some reason, I saw many riders on my way to the start point of our ride. We gathered today at Akshar Chowk to proceed towards Kaavi Kamboi (Temple of Lord Shiva), that submerges in the Arabian Sea twice a day during high tides. Natures Magic to make the humans realise, there is some supernatural power, so STOP messing 🙂 We were 3 riders to start from Baroda, KD(riding a Bullet 350 Standard), Rajan(riding on his KTM 390)and me (riding on my Harley Street 750).

We then decided to give some energy to ourselves and had breakfast on a roadside dhaba. Overall an amazing riding experience, but all our efforts couldn't create the Unity to visualize the Statute. Let us ride next Sunday together!!! Che...
