This is slightly OT to this thread, but i thought i should share this.

This Gentleman is Dr. Nandakumar who hails from Krishnagiri. He is 78 years young. He is so into riding and is an inspiration to most budding bikers.

If i remember right has a wonderful fleet of A bonnie, A bandit 1250S and a Thuderbird,(I had joined a ride along with him organised by another forum members back in 2012).

I remember i looked at him with awe the first time i saw him.

Thank you very much. The gang literally pounced on him and I think we kind of freaked him out so I forgot to ask his name . Very cool guy and was a privilege to meet him.

Nice places and good pics. Thanks for sharing. Could some one share the pics of the rides please if anyone has clicked. I'm sure most of us are very much interested in seeing that as much as anything else. Something seems missing till you get that dose of automotive eye candy. Thanks.
