Ardent biker here.

Hello everybody,

I ve been surfing here for quite some time. I think its great that team-bhp is brave enough to allow open access to outsiders who can read whats going on here without having to register. That speaks volumes about its transperancy and integrity.

I m part of a lot of forums too and some of the members here might recognise me. I m a biker at heart. Basically from Hyderabad, grew up in Pune/Bombay (i refuse to call it mumbai), studied and working in Chennai (i ve come to live with it).

Mechanical engineer by education ,two-stroke fanatic, i love touring and am a very, very ameture photographer, but love taking snaps. I own an RX135 (5-speed) and an '83 RD350 running on LT barrels and points (recently did a 700 odd km Chennai-Hyderabad trip on it).

I didnt want to register for a long time as i have enough distractions (read forums that i surf) and everytime my boss walks in,i have enough windows to minimise. but what the heck, i can see this forums a great effort and terrifically organised.

Looking forward to meeting everyone here at somepoint or the other.

Thank you,
Ravi

ps: oh, here are a couple of pics of my bikes.
