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). This was a first time for all of us at this destination. So, google maps was the only assistance we were dependant on(trust me, Google Aunty was accurate). The roads were not too great today and the route was crossing a few state higways traveling through village roads. When we were about to reach the temple, our first sight at the ocean was breathtaking. It felt like we are in Goa!!! Not really!!!! Hahaha

As we reached, we spotted a few more Gentlemen, and what? They were riders!!! The feeling was mutual between us, and felt genuinely happy to see people from different backgrounds sharing the same passion. This was a rider group from Bharuch/Ankhleshwar. They were riding, Himalayan's and KTM's. Immediately, we saw the brotherhood striking and we exchanged our contact details. Shortly, Prashant (our group rider, cruising on his Thunderbird) along with his Dad, joined us too. 

We took a lot of amazing pictures with the riders and their machines. We saw families coming in to visit the spot, and were informed that the temple is submerged, and will take 2 hours for the ocean to settle on a low tide. That was too long for us to wait. We decided to ride back home, on our way back we took a break to have some breakfast near Padra. 

To conclude, super spot for a family outing, not good roads, this was KD's first ride (I hope he enjoyed), we ended up meeting riders from Bharuch. Does this sounds adventurous? Phew!! Sure it does, if your passion is riding!!!

Cheers! Lets ride again and explore!!

Happy Sunday People!! Yet another Brotherhood Sunday ride, We had Sumit joining us today after a long break, It was the usual Trio (Rajan, KD & me). I had one of my school friend, Anubhav Sharma riding with us today, to get a flavour of the experience. We were totally 5 riders, starting from Baroda, riding to explore the areas in the proximity of Anand (the milk Capital of India, AMUL)! It was a short ride today than usual Sundays, the experience was huge and mesmerizing. It was an array of super machines at display at Gallops today. We had a buffet of two wheel machines at display in the parking area. Bikes and Super Bikes ranging from Triumphs, BMW's, Ducatis, Harley's, Kawasaki's, Royal Enfields, Jawa (back in the league) and the KTMs. The line up of all the bikes was immaculately performed with no supervision or assistance. It shows the discipline of the riders towards their machines and fellow riders. There is this unsaid pact amongst the riders to lineup the ...

Kabirwad - 17th March’19

Hello People, How Sunday riding with friends became an essential part of Weekend, is difficult to narrate. The epic & famous misconceptions about monotony & boredom’ soon came to mind, how wrong I was. There is nothing called monotony, its all in your head, and how you eject it out of your system and change. I believe I am enjoying the most exciting phase of my life in my 40’s. Maybe, ’50s will be all the more exciting, Amen! So, it was another awaited Sunday!! The trio (Rajan, KD & me) again, gathered at 6:30am and headed for Kabirwad a place near Bharuch. This was a 75 km ride one way (the usual riding odometer reading that we do on Sundays). The concept of gearing up every time you get on your bike is relatively new to our country when compared with the North American and European countries. But its picking up very rapidly. When you ride all geared up, the riders are noticed with pleasant curiosities by many, no harm meant. This thought, is bac...

Malsar - 10th March

Hello Riders!! Happy Sunday! Phew, what a busy week! This time its not only a much awaited Sunday Ride, its a much needed one! The adrenaline was high, the clock read 6:30 am, and we were ready to hit the highway! The trio (KD, Rajan and me) flagged off from Baroda  and Prashant (joined us on the way).  I don't want to sound political, but the Gujarat Government must be credited with the quality of the roads, they have built and maintained. The internal state highway, connecting Karjan & Malsar was smooth and curvy (the description sounds voluptuous) 😜😜 As we cruised, all of us loved the ride experience and the quite scenic nature. The plan today was to have a long awaited photo shoot. And in no time, we were at the river bank of Narmada. It was tranquil, we noticed some construction work in progress, looked like some sort of irrigation plant. We lined up our machines, and it was time to capture the moments, we shot some amazing pictures. A few posted with this ...
