other person is still sleeping, Hence giving him some more time to sleep. this continued every 15-20 minutes and then realised that we both are doing the same thing. expecting the other person to get out of the bed. And somehow opened up my eyes and looked at my watch. Another plan went down the dreaming world. It was already 7AM and the plan of watching the Sunrise was all gone.Ordered tea, stood in balcony for around 10-15 minutes enjoying the lovely morning breeze and then took a warm bath. By now it was already 8AM, So settled our bills and went out to strol around the town.The morning view was even more amazing. the reflection of moutains and sky in the water was simply fantabulas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00269.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00269.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00273.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00273.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00276.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00276.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day was being celebrated as sports day by few schools. And few events were organised like a race around the lake and painting competition. The area which the school kids were supposed to cover in the race was huge. The lake in itself in big and the route that was given to the kids was even more tiring and lengthy. it included steep inclined roads and some sharp turns. If i was at their place then for sure i was out even before i could cover 10% of what they did. Cheers to all the school kids.&lt;br /&gt;And then the painting competition. The crowd was so big that it felt like thousands of students are taking part in the competition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00344.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00344.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then decided to take the boat ride. got it for 150 for two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00334.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00334.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00330.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00330.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00331-1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00331-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00336.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00336.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hanuman and shiv temple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00337.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00337.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it was a time to pick up the bike from the parking lot. Had to use choke plus few kicks before it came to life. &lt;br /&gt;went to another side of the lake to click few more pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00278.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00278.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man's best friend&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00281.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00281.jpg" border="0" alt="Man's best friend"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So started again and this time thought of taking a complete circular route of the lake. Which included a steep ride through the town which was a real test for the bike and at few points my Uni simply refused to take the second gear. had to ride in the first gear itself. &lt;br /&gt;So when the road became easier to ride, stopped at another beautiful point to click few more pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00287.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00287.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00296-1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00296-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00298.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00298.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The path to unknown destination&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00301.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00301.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beautiful roads&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00302.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00302.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The beautifl view from the top&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00287.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00287.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00309.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00309.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now some posing shosing with my Uni&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00311.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00311.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00313.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00313.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So started again and this time decided to stop at every given oportunity and every beautiful sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00354.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00354.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00356.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00356.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00378.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00378.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00392.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00392.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00403.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00403.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that is worth mentioning here is the blueness of the sky. It was completly diffrent then what we see in our daily life. A perfect blue sky which is visible in few pics. You simply cannot stop appreciating the beauty of the nature which make every man made sculpture a microbe.&lt;br /&gt;Example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00333.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00333.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was already 2 and decided to head back towards home. The heart kept on insisting to stay there for another day but at the end the brain won by fair margin. my friend: Gurpreet had office the very next day. So staying back for another day was out of question.&lt;br /&gt;The roads are so tempting that you cannot resist from trying some extreme leans on every second corner. &lt;br /&gt;The return journey in the mountain included 90% slope which meant i don't have to push my bike as hard as i was doing while climbing up. After sometime realised that keeping the engine on is not doing any good and the bike is moving without any push from the engine. After few minutes turned the egnition off and let the bike roll on it's own. I know thats not safe but at that point of time it felt so right and good that the complete return ride in the mountains was done in the same way. sometime the bike was crossing 60-65KMPH without the egnition and was having the fun of lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;current=DSC00375.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00375.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After covering the mountain there is a small town or village with the only Honda dealer and service center. &lt;br /&gt;When i started by bike, realised that something is wrong. The front brake was almost non responsive and the engine was harsh. &lt;br /&gt;Decided to get the bike checked at the service center as did't want to take any risk.&lt;br /&gt;checked the Brake fluid and it was below the mark. filled it up and then asked the service guy to check the engine oil. It had turned complete black and thick. &lt;br /&gt;changed the oil Honda oil as Power1 was not available. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After getting the bike checked started back again and it was already 3:30 By now.&lt;br /&gt;wanted to cover as much distance as possible before sunset as i was aware of the bad stretch that i had to face.&lt;br /&gt;first 100Kms went by like a fraction of second. the roads were good and tempting with almost no traffic. &lt;br /&gt;And by the time sun said goodbye, we were on the bad patch of the journey.&lt;br /&gt;And thats when things started getting bad from worse. People simply do not have any sence of driving in this route. they drive with high beam when they actually need low beam to see the huge craters on the road. No traffic sence, no proper signalling, no proper overtaking and no safe distance from each other.Also the signage is almost missing with no street lights. Sometime the road completly disappeared and gave way to some 5-6 feet deep dugups done by the road contracters. saw a Alto resting there. So the life is completly on your fates hand in this strech. No amount of your safe riding can save you if you do not have luck by your side. if it;s not you then it could be some nut who continously try to push you off the road or it would be a pothole which can put a crater to shame.&lt;br /&gt;Anyways somehow completed this nightmare and it was 7Pm by now.&lt;br /&gt;then after around 50 Kms from this strech you get a single lane road that hardly can take two buses at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;This is where i thanked god 1000's of time for saving me. &lt;br /&gt;i was crusing at around 30 because of the condition of the road and saw a bus coming from the oppsotite late. there was a petrol station on my left hand side and that ideot Bus driver suddenly took right to get into the petrol station and that too without any hand or blinker signal. I was just there on the spot, braked hard as much as i can, rear tyre locked up and skid. somehow saved myself and my bike from hitting the bus. And so few cars and bikes. everyone freezed up and virtually everything was standstill for few moments. Before i could realise as what happened, saw some guyz who were also missed hitting the bus was beating the driver black and blue. &lt;br /&gt;After getting back to senses strarted riding again without letting my pillion know that we were almost gone. And made him believe that i was just checking the brakes when the bike skid. &lt;br /&gt;After that took extra precaution till the time i dropped my friend safely to his home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was 8:30 when i reached home and took a cool bath. sat in front of the computer to update everyone that i was back and opened up xbhp. The first thing that came in front of my eyes was the shocking news of Kriss's untimly departure from the world with almost similar incident that i faced few hours ago. &lt;br /&gt;It still send the shiver down my spine and still thanking god for giving me another change to be a better Biker, a Son, a brother, a friend and above all a good human being.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5730703104107542097-6077399521474899913?l=nowbikers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nowbikers.blogspot.com/2009/10/nainital-trip-day2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Bajwa)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730703104107542097.post-382893509991958690</guid><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-13T14:14:06.423+05:30</atom:updated><title>Nainital trip</title><description>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nainital Trip: Day 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;After a hectic and tiring week at office, i was left exausted and stresses. So come Friday and was chit chatting with one of my friend and suddenly he said; why don't we go to some hill station this weekend?? Got hit by an idea that was buried somewhere deep inside due to the daily chores of the busy Delhi life. And it was already 11PM and i was in office. Decided to start the ride @ 4:00AM along with my friend as pillion and another friend on his Fiero F2. So finally my shift ended at 2:00AM Saturday morning and decided to rush back home to pack some stuff and get a bath. Went to parking lot and to our horror my friends bike was leaking. He had got servicing done just a day before and the amount of oil leak was immense. with every throttle it was spraying oil. So definatly we could not go as planned. Planned to get the bike checked @ 9:00 AM and then will ride together. So here goes our precious 5 Hours. went back home but could't sleep. But somehow fell prey to it at around 8:00AM and woke up with a kick on my arse at 10:AM. another hour lost. Saw a message in my box from my friend that he will not be able to join us, because he was busy sleeping. Sleep was more important to him then what we had planned. Anyways after cursing him for good 10-15 minutes we got ready. Sun was out with all it's strength and hell lot of traffic. Got the bike filled up with gas worth 570/- and filled up some air in tyres. So here we were starting our trip good 8 Hours late @ 12Noon. Anyways we were not concerned about the time shortage we had but we were more inclined towards enjoying the ride sans any timer. Roas conditions are good and some strechs are really good. That helps in making up for the lost time in the traffic. But then there is a pathetic patch of around 50Km's that kills the ride and the rider. aweful roads due to ongoing work that i've been seeing from the last 3 years. Same consition and no changes. My first stop was at Gurmukteshwar(probably). took some snaps and enjoyed the beauty of Ganga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00198.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 800px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00198.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 600px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 800px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00196.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the patch we went non stop to Mooradabad. and just after Mooradabad and before Ramput toll, there is a sharp left turn that leads to Jim Corbett. Took this route and after 3Km's took a right towards Nainital. roads are good with villages every few Km's. Took a butt break at a dhaba and hoped on food like a hungry soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00208.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Filling the ever hungry tummy" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00208.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then after around 50Kms roads get awesome with almost no one on the road and both sides of roads covered with dense forest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00213.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00213.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was already 5 when i reached this place. And soon i was riding on a steep road. had to reset the tuning of my bike as it started breathing like it is not getting any air or petrol. And even after that my bike was struggling to some extent at every sharp turn. And the struggle was justified too. it was carring a total load of around 150Kg's. Myself being 65 and my friend (Gurpreet) being 85Kg's/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when we started climbing up it was already around 6 and sun was ready to set.&lt;br /&gt;hence at a beautiful corner with enough space to park my bike safely clicked few pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00220.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="And this" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00220.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00230.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="one of my fav." src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00230.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00234.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00234.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00233.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00233.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then after loking at the beautiful sunset for good 15-20 Minutes, we started again. This time moving bit slowly. encountered endless Langoors and Monkey's on the way. Another stop came in the form of a maggy point. eating maggy and special tea in hills at night or evening takes you to another world altogether.&lt;br /&gt;After this it was a non stop ride till Nainital and lots of left-right-left turns.&lt;br /&gt;reached Nainital at around 8:00PM, parked the bike at main parking lot near the small play ground. strolled around in the market. Eat boiled eggs, omletts and tea non stop at every given opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then realised that we have not booked a room as of now. So the hunt for a decent room started. looked at a room and he asked a price of a small and compact room @500 a day and that too it did not have attached Bathroom. But the view was amazing.&lt;br /&gt;Dropped the plan and went to anothe hotel and he gave us a room at 1st floor with balcony facing the lake and bathroom with good and wide double bed.&lt;br /&gt;Liked it and after some buttering got the room for Rs.400/-.&lt;br /&gt;so left the baggage at the room and went for another walk. The lake looks awesome at night. all the reflection of the mountain with small lights. It looks lovely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;finally came back to room at 11:00 PM and decided to hit the bed after a warm bath.&lt;br /&gt;Decided to wake up at 4:00 and leave the room by 5:00 to witness the beautiful sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 2 to be continued.&lt;br /&gt;A teaser:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00258.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d21/sherrybajwa4u/DSC00258.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5730703104107542097-382893509991958690?l=nowbikers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nowbikers.blogspot.com/2009/10/nainital-trip.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Bajwa)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730703104107542097.post-6937941313104210037</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-20T21:59:30.262+05:30</atom:updated><title>Website down</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hello folks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;We are bit struggling technically to get the new website up, but don't be disheartened as we will back as soon as possible and will spread the news on N.O.W. official orkut community &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.orkut.com/Main#Community?cmm=15727930"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;http://www.orkut.com/Main#Community?cmm=15727930&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;thanks for bearing with us,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;ride safe,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;N.O.W. web management team&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5730703104107542097-6937941313104210037?l=nowbikers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nowbikers.blogspot.com/2009/09/website-down.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinai (Group Admin.))</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730703104107542097.post-8417199443814293020</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-22T00:56:23.431+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>custom</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>karizma</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>hero honda</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>paint</category><title>N.O.W.

We never like being honked but we always like honking, don’t' we? Congested roads in countries like India are having worst situation and no where near it seem lessening. People honk even if its red lights and the patience in road users are minimal. It’s simply unspoken that no one would like to be told, what to do and what not to do while riding/driving. As they say, if you want a change, be the first and start from yourself and the rest might/might not follow. Therefore, I would propose every N.O.W. rider (and who ever reading this and rides/drives) to be little more patient and humble on road and use almost zero honking while riding unless and until it’s really urgent.&lt;br /&gt;Doesn’t matter, if you reach somewhere 5 minutes late but knowingly or unknowingly you will contribute to environment and practise good and responsible road etiquettes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please pledge &lt;a href="http://nowonlineforum.proboards52.com/index.cgi?board=general&amp;amp;action=display&amp;amp;thread=27" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;by replying that you will not honk unnecessarily and at inappropriate places (near hospitals, school, and religious gatherings) and will support this initiative.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5730703104107542097-1715497289340939199?l=nowbikers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nowbikers.blogspot.com/2008/05/now-group-attempt-to-save-environment.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinai (Group Admin.))</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730703104107542097.post-5958665934109965187</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2008 19:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-05-20T01:00:26.453+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>warehouse</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>get2gether</category><title>Warehouse Noise: 18th May '08 Get2Gether images</title><description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j150/nowbikers/blog%20pics/?action=view&amp;amp;current=39.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j150/nowbikers/blog%20pics/39.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Group manages to find an empty warehouse outside city.

It was a fantastic sight to see the way the lad balanced the wheelie throughout the act, and it was a rewarding sight, even if he was from another group, to see an Indian guy holding candles to foreign stunt riders, as well as the Police Authorities because here in a country where the lack of roads means that stunters have to go ahead and try their skills on public highways. Stunting is not a generally accepted sport in the eyes of the nation, as it spoils the minds of young amateurs trying to imitate the stunts shown on T.V, in Ads etc. The authorities clearly stated that they won't tolerate stunts in public places,&lt;br /&gt;but then, a question arises, where is a stunter supposed to go to went his lust for stunting?&lt;br /&gt;These questions remain unanswered, but I had a few questions myself, for example, breaking a wheelie record means doing a wheelie along with the competitor in homogeneous (same) conditions, like the road length, bike, should all be the same, because only then will a systematic record be maintained, as well as make the event official, to prevent clashes with the ever insulting policemen.&lt;br /&gt;Recently an unfortunate event spruced up in which one of India's finest stunter faced police custody because he was stunting in traffic on a public road. I completely agree with the law and order authorities as well as my group moderators that stunting in residential areas is unethical and unsafe but the prime suspect of these increasing incidents is the lack of infrastructure in our country. India is the largest Motorcycle markets in the world but it is sad to see the authorities which do not pay heed to motor sports and other events featuring automotives, because many country have included stunting in their sports list, and that is the reason foreign stunters are way ahead of us and also don't get involved in tense situations with the police as our stunters do. Stunting is not hazardous, unsafe, and unlawful, only if it's done in controlled conditions within surfaces designed purely for this purpose. Stunting is an art form and requires lots of practice to master, and it can be dangerous, sans safety gear, only those people who are prepared to be in tough situations should go for stunting as a stunters life is tough !!!&lt;br /&gt;I have served under N.O.W. bikers since I was in 10th grade, and have been stunting since the last three years. Now I can do anything on one wheel except perhaps... breakfast, lolz. While viewing the record set by Abishek, I came to a conclusion that I should really attempt to break at least the 4 kilometre barrier aboard my Pulsar180,with all safety gear required as well as media backup. I hope my fellow bikers will support me on my opinion. I have chosen IIM road as the best bet as it is a rural area and the roads are arrow straight. The attempt will take place before 6 in the morning to avoid traffic. Adios bikers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Talha Khan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(N.O.W.

So got it serviced from Honda Service station in Rajpura, Punjab. Got overall engine repair done and also got a new number plate, rear indicators. But couldn’t get time to get the shocks repaired. Also to my surprise RVM’s were not available. Also searched in Ambala but no luck.&lt;br /&gt;It was the day to come back to Delhi. So woke up at 8 AM. Took cold shower. Got ready. Cleaned the bike. And I was all set to roll again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180940939862197074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 440px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 347px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="362" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-ZmVcLDw1I/AAAAAAAABIw/5EO_fJZ24wk/s400/DSCN11901.JPG" width="472" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;It takes less then 2-3 minutes to reach NH1 from my home. So in next 2-3 minutes I was on NH1. Filled up 4 liters of gas and started my ride back to New Delhi. After riding some time at a moderate speed of 60-70 KMPH. Then I realized that I have not taken a pic of the journey yet. So clicked my first pic when Ambala was just 15 KM away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180941231919973218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-ZmmcLDw2I/AAAAAAAABI4/Ps8XtwI9btA/s400/DSCN11961.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowly started increasing the speed and started cruising at 90KMPH. Before I stepped out of my home I expected good traffic but to my surprise it was very less. So it was like riding alone on the highway. After some time I realized that I should take a pic of my speedometer to check the distance covered. It was 27394.2 KM’s on the clock. Add another 15 KM’s from my home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180941485323043698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-Zm1MLDw3I/AAAAAAAABJA/x_LNh4E3BCo/s400/DSCN11951.JPG" border="0" /&gt;Then stopped to offer my prayers at Manji sahib Gurudwara, Ambala.

Max stop was for 5 minutes. It was broad day light and Sun started to take its position over my head but decided not to stop.&lt;br /&gt;Again stopped to click one more pic when Delhi was 152 KM away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180942408741012386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-Znq8LDw6I/AAAAAAAABJY/WWVDAtQETPE/s400/DSCN11991.JPG" width="439" border="0" /&gt; Started again and took next stop only after 35kms to click another pic.

One thing is for sure that once this flyover opens up it will make the journey even sweeter.

Entered Delhi and its mad traffic and reached office at 2:50PM.I covered the whole distance again in 3 Hours and 20 Minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180949980768355474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 502px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 360px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="335" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-ZujsLDxJI/AAAAAAAABLQ/C5aQndFtCYo/s400/DSCN12171.JPG" width="454" border="0" /&gt;Was feeling good because I was still fresh and confident enough to take another 250 Km’s with ease.

Just joy of reaching my destination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180950290006000802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="329" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9ivBeEr35q0/R-Zu1sLDxKI/AAAAAAAABLY/DAktrV23-ik/s400/DSCN12181.JPG" width="489" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parked the bike in parking lot.

Was busy thinking as how to utilize them? Scratched my head a bit then more and an idea just fell into my so called brain. (What an idea sirjiJ ).&lt;br /&gt;The idea was as follows:&lt;br /&gt;I had an evening shift of 1630 hours to 0130 Hr in the morning, what a long day it was. Finished my work at 0200 hrs in the morning. Went to underground parking where my bike was waiting for me like a desperate Girlfriend who wanted to have a joyful ride with me. Now let me tell you the condition of my bike. Rear indicators fell apart long ago. One RVM got stolen another broken. So no RVM’s on this ride. Service overdue from the last 7 months. Huh... cylinder head needs replacement. Bent gear lever due to last accident. Oil leakage from the left front shock. And many more.&lt;br /&gt;Now back to parking lot. Inserted the key. One smooth kick and heard the lovely sound of the engine. Went out; filled around 5 liters of gasoline. And I was all set for the adventurous ride.&lt;br /&gt;My office is on the other side of the Yamuna River so Delhi border is around 20-25 KM’s away. A very easy ride till there. Not much traffic but only few trucks. Once I reached the border, got the first glimpse of traffic more then 2 KM traffic jam at 0230 in the morning. Thank god I was on my bike and not in a cage. Crossed the JAM with ease and then I was on open roads. Roads till Panipat are nightmare at night. Only single lane and lots of dust, sand and trucks. And I was on my bike without any eye protection. Intelligent me. J .&lt;br /&gt;After that it was like a race of life for me. Wanted to cover the distance as soon as possible. Actually the reason behind this ride was that I wanted to test the extremes on my bike.&lt;br /&gt;The Morning breeze was kissing my face and it was wonderful. Saw two big accidents on the highway and slowed down a bit for next 5 KM’s. But again started getting the momentum. After that it was mostly a ride at a speed of 100 and above. Somewhere I was worried of a breakdown but then I remembered wise words said by my client from US. He once said "Mandy a man has to do what he has to do". So I continued at a constant speed of 80 and above. Saw some Toyota Innova’s and indica’s on the highway looking at me like I’m an alien on an UFO on a deserted highway. Some kids started smiling at me and I felt like they are challenging me to overtake them. So couldn’t break their little hearts. Hence overtook lots of cars, SUV’s and trucks off course. But then had my share of defeat as well. L . Wish I had a CBR. Hummmm….Stopped at a Dhaba some 50 or so kms from Ambala. Washed my face and eyes especially. Few foreign bodies were resting in there with peace. But had to wash them off. Bechare. Took 2 awesome teas. Laid down on a fiber cott for a while but then got up. Paid for tea and I was back on where I was supposed to be. That’s my bike dumbo.&lt;br /&gt;Then it was a ride at a speed of above 100 only till I reached Ambala. Once I entered Ambala Cantt I slowed down a bit as saw birds coming out of their nests, people coming out of their cozy homes and that lovely feeling on my face because of that cool morning breeze. But this lasted only for few minutes as I saw 1000’s of trees chopped of for widening the already beautiful road. To be very honest felt very bad. I mean before they chopped off the trees they should have planted new trees.&lt;br /&gt;Well reached my home at 0640 in the morning and that was the first time I looked at my watch since I left from Delhi. I was at the front door of my home. Ringed the bell. And saw Mom with expressions which I can’t even describe here. The happiness which I saw on her face made my day even better. As I parked the bike she gave me a lovely hug and kissed on my forehead. Man I was the happiest person at that moment. And now I know that to see real excitement and expression of love from your family you should always surprise them in the sweetest manner.&lt;br /&gt;Spent the day and next at home and then it was again time for me to ride back to Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;Continued…..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: As it was a non stop ride so no pics of the journey. But for the return journey blog will be with Pics. coming out in few hours&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5730703104107542097-1456505772778567163?l=nowbikers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nowbikers.blogspot.com/2008/03/night-ride-of-250-kms.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sherry Bajwa)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730703104107542097.post-9167814468846074740</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Mar 2008 09:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T18:52:53.523+05:30</atom:updated><title>N.O.W Bikers In YAMAHA Ridetech Challenge</title><description>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KEMdGIaPSn4/R9JfOn44iKI/AAAAAAAAACk/gBZTEJHvexY/s1600-h/IMG_9548.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175303626632497314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 329px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 253px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="207" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KEMdGIaPSn4/R9JfOn44iKI/AAAAAAAAACk/gBZTEJHvexY/s320/IMG_9548.jpg" width="274" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KEMdGIaPSn4/R9JfO344iLI/AAAAAAAAACs/EkhH2_9yHRs/s1600-h/IMG_9550.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175303630927464626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 332px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="210" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KEMdGIaPSn4/R9JfO344iLI/AAAAAAAAACs/EkhH2_9yHRs/s320/IMG_9550.jpg" width="286" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yamaha Racing team is organising the Ridetech Challenge for promotion of Gladiator 125SS.
