Hey, I was just scrolling through and admiring the V2 from the various weekend rides when I noticed this bit here. This is not good - did they sort it out finally and what was their explanation as to why it wasn’t done in the first place?

Separately, I can relate to a lot of the places that you ride to as I’ve also visited many of these while riding beyond Pune. Reminds me of what wonderful riding routes Puneites have at short throw.

They didn't provided any explanation but looks like they credited the tax quite late(sometime in May 2024) which resulted in late reflection in 26AS. I filed a rectification request once I received the tax receipt from them. I got the excess tax credited in my account late November finally.

I am trying that this doesn't repeats for Jimny.

You can say that again Axe!
Multistrada has further widen the spectrum where broken roads (aplenty in MH) can not be a hindrance for a ride.

Big thanks to surjaonwheelz to convince abhi_tjet to come over for a group ride on a weekend.



We were bunch of regular riders, few new faces, few new bikes. Bikes in group were Ducati Multi v2, RE Interceptor, Triumph Tiger 800, Triumph Scrambler 400x, RE Meteor 350, UM Renegade Commando and Suzuki Vstrom SX250.
Tamhini-Lonavala circuit was planned for the ride with gathering points first in Sus and later Ghotawade. As usual, most riders didn't keep anyone waiting for too long. We were off quickly towards breakfast point, QuickBite after Mulshi. Sadly no food photos, perhaps we were either too hungry or eager to continue the ride.

Mix of Clouds and sunshine


After crossing some more curves of Tamhini ghat, we took a right turn towards Andharban for Lonavala. We knew part of it to be narrow and some bad roads. We stopped at a nice location for some photos.

After reaching back on old Mumbai-Pune highway, we just zoomed at highway pace. Some of us took a chai break whereas couple of riders went their way home.

Good balance of curvy country roads, broken patches, amazing nature (mountain and sky) views and highway riding pace. Thanks once again surjaonwheelz for arranging this.

Lovely summary and even better pictures. Reminded me of our group ride together to Pavna I think back when I had spent a few months in Pune. I had my Tiger 800 then.

Hope to ride with you folks sometime if I’m ever in Pune over an entire weekend with the bike.

Cheers.

Suhas, no convincing was needed for joining ride. The pleasure was all mine.

I can’t better the pictures taken by Suhas. I will just dump a couple from my phone.

Cloud formation was something that day







I was out for some family commitments and hence was able to take bike out after a month.

My maiden ride towards Kumbhe. The literal light at the other side of tunnel


Beautiful landscape everywhere!
















There was mad rush in Tamhini today towards Konkan direction. At the forest area, there was almost a queue of 100 cars due to a slow moving truck. I was thanking my stars that I am on bike.
Further, Tamhini is pure emotion, loved revving the L twin on its curves.

The trip details which was around 230 kms in total. Multi’s fuel consumption rarely go below 20.


Ride Safe guys!
