Ride to Kurudumale

Mom with my bull. Not happy, that I have woken her up so early yet another time!!

On a early Saturday morning, I joined the pack, near K R Puram hanging bridge. This was a breakfast ride for those of us craving to be on the road again. I had just got back my bike from the mechanic, with a de-carbonised engine and instructions to ride the bike carefully for the next couple hundred kms. I was excited to get me rehabilitated bull back on the roads.

Temple Ride : Road to Manthralayam

It's time for me to tell you all of another story. This time around, we decided to go to a different type of location, a Religious one. Don't believe anyone who says, that motorcycle riders and motorcycle enthusiasts, are hardened men and woman who drink beer and smoke cigars. Well, most of the time we might be like that, but there are other sides to us as well. Over the year, we will be embarking on many such temple rides, to seek the blessings of different deities, for the sole purpose that we get a chance to go on more rides.

Manthralayam, is a town in Andhra Pradesh, home to the devotees and followers of Guru Raghavendra Swami. It is around 250 kms from Hyderabad and 400 kms from Bangalore. Smoking and consumption of Alcohol is strictly prohibited in this town.

Coorg - The Land of the Warriors

Hi Guys, I'm back again. This time to tell you about my recent trip to Coorg, Karnataka. Coorg is around 270 kms from Bangalore, and is known for its coffee. In fact  the chain of Cafe Coffee Day and its parent company, Amalgamated Bean Coffee Trading Company Ltd, source most of their coffee beans from the vast fields of Coorg.

Beaches, Beauties and Booze

Goa is to India what Hawaii is to the world. It is one of the biggest holiday destinations in India and has many attractions for people of all ages. It is also the only place in India where gambling is legalized. Beautiful beaches, filled with a variety of people from all over the world. Booze flows here more than water. Roads are jam packed with people and energy even at 3 in the morning. Think "Spring Break", but throughout the year!!

The Thump that Binds

Ask any of the riders who came to Rider Mania, and they will surely tell you, that the feeling of brotherhood was so deeply engraved into our hearts after this event, a feeling, which we are sure will remain for a long long time.

I left you all with a glimpse of my ride up to Goa!! The problems faced on the way, the drama and the confusing confusions. Now its time for me to tell you all about the event we had come for, the fun we had and much more.
