The opportune moments to ride around the hilly roads of Huliyur Durga arose in the pretext of my farewell ride. Legal’s Farewell Ride as they preferred to call it. Well, I was heading out to the west coast to augment my half a life time of education with yet another degree called the Masters.

Hope this missive finds you all in the pink of health and tickled pink cause this is Legal's last official Ride with FSR. Legal has, luckily for us, decided to head for greener pastures and become more irrititiating than usual. For this he needs 2 years in the US, lucky for us :-).

The morning of June 09th, found me riding alongside Screech heading fast for Maddur. Due to some personal glitches, I was running a little late and we reached University gate on Mysore a bit late and the group had started towards our first pit stop which was to be at The Coffee Day before Maddur. I filled up gas at University Gate and saw Omi followed by Nikki going past.

Whew! Feels good having nailed down FSR #5, that makes it 3 in a row, not bad at all. I usually end up procrastinating and something else usually comes up, but not for the FSR, touch wood.

Well it all started off well, and no nothing bad happened, it ended
well too .... I'm talking about the second FSR on the 4th of March,
2007.
For the uninitiated the FSR is the First Sunday Ride, organised by a
group of like minded people who love their old and out-of-production
bikes(RD-350 and Yezdi Road king), of which I am the only one riding a
Yezdi Roadking.
