RE Rider Mania 2010 dirt track

Here's a picture of the dirt track I ran last month. This is me leading with Junaid from Bangalore tailing me. This went on for 5 whole laps.

Managed to keep him at bay till the checkered flag.

Keep riding...!

RE visit

Got an opportunity to do something this past weekend that I've been wanting to do for the past 6 years!

Flew down to Chennai for some work, but in the middle of all the chaos also managed some time to visit the Royal Enfield factory.

Was so much fun being in the company of (so many) brand new REs. Thanks to Rajkumar of RE who was kind enough to take me through the various parts of the factory, the assembly line, engine assembly, paint shop, chroming unit, the test dynamos and the test track.

One more thing off the to-do list ;)
Pics to follow soon!

Bid Adieu : Sukhoi

Today morning was probably the last time I rode my RE Electra 4s.

like I've mentioned in my previous posts, had got her around 6 years back.

Will probably be making a deal for an LB 500: a year old and 10k on the odometer. Hopefully this works out. Will have two LB500s in the parking lot then ;)

Good bye Sukhoi- my first bike, my first RE!

Keep riding...

Weekend ride to Pune

This past weekend was time dedicated to some laid back fun.

The plan was to get away from bombay and chill for the weekend in Pune.

It was also time for a decent ride to Pune( I've lost count of the number of times I've done the bbay-poona ride).
Nonetheless, the ride was fun. Started at 2200 hours from Powai on friday night. Rode out on Sunday from Pune after spending a couple of nights there with some friends.
All in all, a good chilled out weekend spent with some friends.

Watch this space for more pics on this ride.

Keep riding!
