Anyway, my rides are becoming far and few in between and the way it's going right now I mostly end up riding only once a month. Yercaud beckons on the 25-26th with the gang, and I'm desperate to take the Baron on a long ride after a months gap. Just keeping my fingers crossed that nothing else comes in the meanwhile to spoil my plans though.

Indeed. This place has been a saviour to many a biker. It's actually a pretty decent alternative to anyone who doesn't want to witness the egregious Kolar brouhaha every Sunday morning.

Oh, yeah. Have a great ride to Yercaud. You've been longing for this since quite a while. Who all are confirmed as of now?

It looks like the entire pack (or at least most of us) may ride out this time. So anywhere between 10-15 riders and their mean machines. As of now I think goandude, added_flavour, chida, sammyboy, Shanenanigans and yours truly are in. Since the ride's two weeks away, I am sure more will join. Either ways, I guess it's going to a ride to remember and cherish for a long time man.

Absolutely priceless. Chida has really caught the attentiveness on the riders listening to some gyan. Mark of a great photographer.

That's brilliant, chief. Expecting a detailed log for this one! At the outset, I am really glad sammyboy has finally decided to overpower his lethargy to wear his what-on-earth-did-I-just-see racing suit.

Indeed. A really humble fellow and a photographer who knows his stuff. Carrying those gigantic DSLRs on every ride is in itself a very herculean task. Kudos to him!

sending links to two other threads that have a bearing on Yercaud trip http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/route-...ercaud-14.html and http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/team-b...er-2014-a.html

Any suggestions for a nights stay? Nothing lavish but clean, hygienic and safe parking (most important)

Lol bro don't remind me

, just the thought of doing over 400 Kms in that scorching heat wearing full leathers is enough to make me sweat

A teaser picture of the Yercaud ride (which is underway) of which I could not be part of and am gutted for that. However, was fortunate enough to get my hands on a picture shared by one of my birdies in that group.

Recognisable here are Snehal.Sekhar's Street 750, Sojogator's Z800 and Shanenanigan's sparkling new CBR250.

Yup this was a classic ride and get together of team bhpians. It deserves a thread all by itself, hopefully Iron Hawk will put up one soon with videos and pics. Then you'll see what you missed.

It was the first overnighter for me with the team-bhp riders from Bangalore, and it was just amazing. An experience, if you will. Not just for me, but for others as well.

Hey Barca buddy, you missed out on an epic ride man! What more could you expect from a motley crew of 14 bikers. We rode hard and at least most of us partied harder.

This was my first overnighter with the TBHP gang and I loved every moment of it. As goandude said, just wait till Iron Hawk puts up the thread and you'll know what you missed.

I'm hoping his thread captured what we experienced. If not, we'll add our tidbits and photos.

Dude, you need to come back to blr for a while. You missed a certain green ninja parked bang in front

The ride was nothing short of epic, lovely weather, incredible co riders and wonderful roads. Wait for the details

Sam, I had a massive gut feeling that the bike was yours. But since those famous brown tapes were not quite visible, I let it pass.

Ouch, what a miss. The next time there is an over-nighter, will join in for sure.

The much awaited photologue of the Yercaud overnighter is up!

Cross-linking since it all started here on this thread.
