Matheran ride with the 2 stroke owners group

27-01-2013

After the last ride people were raring for yet another ride and this time Matheran was suggested as an destination by me and we set forth for the ride

As always Panvel McDonald is always our first spot where we all get together have some breakfast chit chat and then set off.

Finally after loitering around at the final stretch we headed back as anyways bikes are not allowed in Matheran.

My First RX Ride 23 Dec 2012

Starting the ride from Arun's place at 6:00 AM in the morning

Once all expected assembled we moved on to our next pit-stop or meeting place
A lot of chit chat followed. Surprise guest was Zubin Patel of ofroad racing fame.

 Some of the better beauties

En-route some bikes developed snags one rx 135 4 speed spark plug went kaput
A little ahead another RX 135 5 speed chain got broken. Help was at hand with many knowledgeable guys and also spares. We moved on.

Finally after lot of drama and ripping we reached Lonavala.
As always Lonavala was choc-a-block with traffic it being a Sunday  Further plans to ride to Tiger point were immediately dropped. After purchasing some sweets for bringing home. All of us set back on return journey. Lunch was decided to be had en-route.

 Posing for the pics en-route.
