Statue of Unity - 17th Feb'19

-
Hello, Riders!!!

Amazing ride, super smooth and open highway, and cruising at a stable speed of about 90kmph.
We were joined by Prashant (rides a Thunderbird), he is an experienced rider working at Bharuch. However, we learned today that personal vehicles aren't permitted to enter the Statue of Unity area, one has to park the vehicle and take a bus to visit that area. There are various categories of tickets covering many places of interest.

While we were trying to use the most common effort used by an Indian "Jugad", which was unsuccessful, we met saw a few long distance riders from Mumbai, there was a solo rider we spoke to (Ravish) riding all the way from Hyderabad and cruising towards Jaisalmer over the next few days. 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!!!

Cheers!

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 ...
