The original plan was to ride to Dimbhe backwaters located near Junnar. Unfortunately one of the riders crashed on the ghats and the trip was cut short to Malshej. But we had a great time- following are some pics from the ride

Dukes of hazzard



Breakfast at Murbad



This bloke makes all other bikes look pale in comparison



Super sticker work



Shaded parking



Naneghat and Jivdhangad...remember having the scariest experience of my life up there.



Naneghat and Jivdhan pano



My favourite clicking spot



Its the twisty show...Yogibaba to start with





Chandu follows





Now both:





Vinit on his Uni



Amol on his P220



Why should I be left out



Desi camera mount



Chandu crashes...captured on cam. Diesel spill on the road (you can spot the wet patch in the shots). Thanks to proper riding gear...he escaped unhurt...though he had a scraped toe because he was wearing casual shoes. Rest all was fine. Noteworthy point here is that Yogesh had forced him to buy knee pads a day before the ride. After the crash the knee cap on the guard was completely shattered.



Thanks to his riding gear..he's still up on his feet



Scrap marks of the crash



Fixing up the gear lever



CBR Pose

...now the Duke



Just can't stop clicking them...they're so attractive to look at.



Malshej Roads



The beautiful Sahyadris



The Dukes again...can't help clicking



One of the best ways to beat the heat



Kaakdi break



Best way to destroy a peaceful secluded place....by making it a public spot!



Lunch at MTDC



Looks scary from a distance



Roaming around at MTDC



Touching the waters of Pushpavati river



At peace



Wide angle



Riding back



...the last to leave



Posing on the Joga dam



Water level has receded way too much...hopefully the rains fill it up to the brim







Just for a click



Wide shot



2 glasses each of sweet sugarcane juice on the way back- marked the end of the ride:




Thanks for watching. Hope it wasn't boring.

CBR Pose

It was good to see you all ride together )

Pic#1 - Still Manageable and acceptable.

Pic#2 - A Lot better that Pic#1.

Pic#3 - You have to take counter leaning off your head, you are pushing your body in the wrong direction, counter to what you are leaning.

Pic#4 - SHIT!!! is he Okay, if he would have kept him self on the APEX Line, this may not have happened!

Boring toh Nahi, Invogarating is a better word..
And Chandresh Definitely needs some Anti-Buri-Nazar Tabiz's on his Leg, Knee, Wrist, Hand, Elbow, Waist, ___, Neck, Forehead etc...

He's already exited the apex and is uprighting the bike

Analysed the pic very closely, realizing that he kept holding the bike even after fall and the momentum dragged him, the best practice is to leave the bike, as they say - ""Machines are completely repairable, Bones are Not!!!!""

I don't quite agree to that, getting up will not get the bike to fall, @Arn, as I can see in the pic he was still bent down and further taking the corner, he may not be leaning more, but he ain't getting up either.


Chandu - If you are in a situation to reply, would you mind sharing

Of Course he is in a good situation. I know him.. He not only completed the ride, but also ate Lunch with a very Wide open Mouth, and sat Sambaa style on a small Hillock, and he only suffered Brain Damage to his Knee..
Also he might not yet be a part of the Motoroids Family, but i will tag this post on his FB profile... so he knows we are disscussing his Follies and making merry... (he takes all this in a very sporting manner.)

I was commenting about Pulsurge leaning the other way as he uprighted the bike after clearing the apex. I think you were commenting on pic 3 of the composite pic (pic 4)

[pulsurge]

Right the curve was over...and I was trying to get up

Sounds more like...
"the Fun was over, Getting ready to Clean up"

Also I don't push the CBR much on corners. For comparison sake- the Dukes even after those leans still had unused patch left on the profile. The CBRs profile was like over.

@Deepak: I am a big fan of your pan-photos.. teach me naa..

I hope the duke and the dude are okay. Slipping in a corner is one scary experience.

Thanks Gopisaab. The bike had some oil leaking issues plus harder gearshifts due to a bent gear level. The rider was ok, except for a small scrap in his toe (due to casual shoes).

Making panos are so easy. There is something called autostitch

I could have bet my a$s for this man using some micro chip based algorithm to take those kind of shots

Autostitch as in, he take the printouts of individual Snaps, and takes it to an Autorickshaw Hood Tailor, there he stitches all the Photos together end to end, and then Deepak again take a snap of the Stitched photograph, and then Crops off the Unwanted portions, and then prints it, and then scans it on a scanner, and then uploads it to the website...
BAA-DUM-TSSS------ TAdaaaaaa

Or you can use the Stitch Assist function that comes in the Canon Startup CD, or download a Photo Stitcher.... Zimble
