This is a different bike - a green one!
The usual suspects - Cup, Shobit Bhatnagar, Jishnu, and rotten (Rattan gangadhar) and me planned a ride to nandi hills last week. Shoved the bike into my car, and drove down to cafe coffee day after yelahanka.
Rotten has this funny bike called rockrider with some funny shoes that latch to the pedal, every time he tries to get off the bike, he falls down sideways.
Cup was concerned if this is the way he always gets off the bike.
Nandi hill top is 40 km from CCD. The first 30 km is flat and then the climb starts. The last 3 km is really tough for a debut rider like me.
Cycles arent allowed into Nandi Hills but 4 wheelers are. It was so funny to see us sitting outside the gates while polluting gas guzzling SUVs are in.
The ride down was FAST !! My trek bike touched 60 kph and i went berserk - psycho! - What if the brake cables snapped? Is its Goodbye Lensman ? RIP
Rotten has had 4 falls and is at the base camp. And we catch up with the poor soul. Au Voir, have some whisky for the pain.
At NH7 we are stopped by cops - We like to call them Sarkari Kutte (Government Dogs). These SK's harass the people. Oh well lookie lookie some president is here and we the people - the poor bikers are left on the road with the hot sun and the damn pollution for company. Do our presidents enjoy the same in other countries or are we just "gulaams" after 63 years of independence ?
Oh Mr president and delegation hope you spend some time at the south end circle traffic.
We ignored the cops and moved on.. WTF ? Are u gonna charge an unregistered vehicle ? Or me ?
The ride ends at CCD and i drive back home. Slept like a child!

To add on ady's blog on the traffic police behavior its alright that they were following the orders, but is this the way our countrymen should treat each other. This police wala's were literally harassing our own people for whom?? President of Philippines.
It kills me to think that our kannada bureaucrats are one of the most lethargic and corrupt in our country.
As long as we have such police wala's who think abusing our countrymen and licking other countries ass will take them to atlantis, then for sure our country will go to dogs.
Shame on kannada traffic, they can use blackberry but can't talk decently to public.
