Rider mania - That was the talk of the biking community in december cause it was gonna happen again, the previous two times were in goa and this time at Panvel. The Indeethumpers - The bullet club in Bombay are organising it. I was very exited about riding down to it with the Madras Bulls. I was running around with the others deciding on the route and stuff but as usual ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE during the last week and i simply was not able to go to Panvel for the event. But as a consolation to this I decided to ride with the group till bangalore, spend couple of days there and then ride back to chennai. Bala a fellow madbull was not going and both of us made plans for bangalore


The day - JAn 5 2005
Time - 0500 Hrs
Place - Hotel Le Royal Meridian
Riders - Dosai, Shamsher, Navneet, Ranga, Sarangan, Arul, Bala
Sendoff - Nitin and Dodo


The climate was chilly and i had a Jacket on. We rode to a small tea shop near Nandambakkam and after Tea took off towards our next stop - Ranipet. Me Sarangan and Ranga rode togather at some good speeds till like 10 - 15 kms before Ranipet. Stopped for a leak , Few smokes and pics. At this time Dev and Sachin joined us and rode with us into Ranipet. Had a super dooper breakfast at a joint near Ranga's relative place. I personally ate like 7 idly's and a coffee and the bill came upto like 15 Rs (Thats uber cheap) Sachin and dev didnt stop with us for breakfast and continued on. The roads were good after this and we went through Chitoor - Palmaner - Kolar and at bang 1 pm we hit bangalore. From here the RM bound peeps separated with me and bala and we both continued towards bala's friends place and freshened up there.What followed was a goodlunch, few beers and sound sleep.

Went out to some joint called Sarovar (Lavelle road) to meet up with the RTMC gangstas. Thanks for everyone who came and entertained me and Bala. The highlight of that meet was KJ didnt drink (man what a let down). After beer and munchies we went out for a late dinner at a Chicken corner ( That place kicked ass and is better than a 5 star restaurent anyday). Went back to the apartment and had a goodsleep.

Woke up late the next morning and went out with bala for breakfast. Bala had some client meeting so he took off. I gave Soup (RTMC) a call and met up with him at his place and we both were roaming around town the whole day. Had a laaaaaaaaate lunch at Forum (Amazing place). Me and bala met back at the apartment and we both went to Apun's place for the night and Apn treated us to an swesome dinner at a beer garden. Came back to apun's place drunk and wasted. Had a good sleep

Woke up the next day at 5 and after a cuppa cha, me and bala started at around 6 for chennai. Trust me doods DONT start a ride at these times in bangalore. I drove through proper fog for like 50 kms and froze my balls off. STopped at woody's for breakfast. After this we did some very good speeds and we made it a point to stop every 100 kms for some refreshment and smokes. Came back home at exactly 1 pm and fell flat on the bed and snoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Peace
Dosai
