re: Triumph Bonneville Discussion Thread: My "Black Bruiser" is SOLD :( !!! Yesterday, we rode yet again to Srisailam Dam which is now fast becoming my favorite for a ride. Initially there were almost 10-12 people who confirmed but, as it always happens many folks backed out due to some reason or other
It was just the "Magnificient 7" that finally made it for entire ride
However, we were joined by the Triumph Explorer to see us off at the meeting point ( sharing a few pics that he took at the meeting point) and a Speed Tripple owner who rode with us for about 30-40kms before returning back as he was notified at last minute and couldnt join us for entire ride. He was looking dapper in his Dainese VR jacket with a color coordinated Pista AGV helmet ( Pista costs about 90K ![EEK!](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.png) )
We stopped at a very small place for lunch and it had to be one of the most amazing lunch that we had. Completely homely stuff and we had a thali and were served freshly made scrambled eggs and we all went into a comatose state after such a nice meal and we all laid down on the "charpai (Cot) for a good 1 hour break.
Weather was extremely hot throughout the ride and while returning last 50kms it poured cats and dogs and we stopped twice by the highway to take shelter and then rode most of the last leg back home in drizzle
It was a fantastic 450kms ride through the forest and were lead ably by the Triumph Daytona with me close on his heels throughout the ride. For first time ever, I scraped my shoes thrice in this ride and it was a thrilling feel to bend that much to take corners without slowing down
Here are some pics from the Explorer owner and I will share quite a few taken from my camera in next few posts
Cheers !!!! P.S: As I type this, Triumph had conducted a short ride today evening followed by beverages and snacks at one of the most popular joint in Hyderabad and invited all bikers in town and is non-brand specific. But, I decided to skip it as I cannot spend so much time on liesure activities..LOL!
Rebel motors rock with their approach towards making the biking scene popular in Hyderabad. Dont you think? |
