i call this the inside road ride. last year myself, Satish (winsor pub), Easha and Meghana(levitate) explored the inside connecting roads from bangalore to the Nilgiris bio-sphere. it was fantastic ride exploring the short steep ghtas of Anchetti - crossing the cauvery on a coracle carrying bike along - connecting the famed Veerappan home in Gopinatham > MM hills > BR hills > Dimbam > hit the

Huliyur Durga Ride 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. A slave to my master’s dream, I had to bid audie to FSR and the many wild adventures.

The over amplified stressing on people landing up late was quite close to the original and i guess was the latest we have ever started an FSR, that i guess was the only hick up on the ride and well ofcourse the traffic on the way which was also a result of starting late. So i think we need to make it ontime or catch up along the way, but that generally delays the troupe. Well after what felt

FSR#14 - Bangalore -> Bagepalli -> Chintamani -> Hoskote -> Bangalore Woke up to the shrill alarm of the phone and got ready in a jiffy ..... I knew I was late, then got a call from Indi he was still at the petrol bunk, rode off from home all rushed..... metup with Indi, filled gas and started riding toward Mekhri Circle. When we reached Mekhri Circle it was evident that eveyone had started

What a way to celebrate the last ride of 2007! The charm worked again. 13th ride and 13bikes. A gorgeous winter sky to ride under and awesome roads to compliment the day. Whats more - Bombay celebrated its first FSR today! Congratulations team - we've just gone national. Initial grouping and breakfast at Kanakpura - no one had a clue of what was in store. We took the road as it came and had no

This was a disappointing trip for me - with many promising to come, only a handful of them showed up. we spent 4 full days in Tusker Valley with people trickling in as the days went by - with a strength of 10 people, it was enough to keep the tiger and tusker off bay. we were unable to ride out on short rides cos of the rains and it was quite an adventure reaching the place - with its off-road

Brilliant ride, with good speeds and a great stretch made the 120km loop feel like a wink. Cheers to the riders. Missed Doc-S and Abhi at the ride. Good show with Soppu catching up midway. Spokesperson of the day undoubtedly goes to Darren who had the group in splits of laughter. Legal however, brought in upon himself by calling at the moment when the rather 'mature ab-gin-th' was growing on

FSR - we explored the cast outbacks of Bagepalli - this was one fantastic ride with endless expanse of wilderness. worth a revisit - unfortunatley dont have many pictures - infact nothing of the best part of the ride.. Satya says' - Ah!.....a "quickie" THANKS, all ye amigos! That sure was an a-m-a-z-i-n-g 206-Kms FSR#10, eh?! Sadly though BAGEPALLI went "un-explored" this time around for some

The gang nailed two rides this month – first Sunday exploring the hidden forest roads of Thali with spells of bone drenching rain and the dusty broken-tarmac Independence Day ride which lot of us want to forget. The September ride promises lesser known inside roads as we plan this ride to Bagepalli – north.

Hey, 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 :-). Anyways with this thought in mind I found myself riding towards Big Bazaar on Old Madras Road which was

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. I was

June 03rd, 07 - Kolar - Devenahalli Ride. I was in for a rude awakening as the alarm clock shrilled early on a Sunday morning, I was sound asleep and then I heard a banging on my door, I knew it was time to get up as my mom had woken up to the sound of my alarm. I got up and got ready in a jiffy and headed for Big Bazaar, which was slated to be the starting point for this FSR.When I got there

Aloha Fellow Riders, 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 this write-up is really not necessary as there's already one on bikes zone but since it's a hot afternoon and self having not all that much to do, am putting the pedal to the metal

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. The objective of the First

The chill wintry morning of December 3rd 2006 saw a total of 14 motos of various engine capacities (150cc to 1300cc!) and their fully geared riders line-up at TOP-GEAR for the proposed days outing under the blue skies and the warm sunlight! The days route traversing thru Magadi town, Somanahalli(?) , Ramnagar(of Sholay fame!), Bidadi, Omi’s Ranch, Harohalli and back was originally to include
