Here are pics from my side.

Woke up at 4, reached the initial meet place at 5:15, by 6:15 all of us had arrived and

...off we went

...into the morning sun

The Hawk closes in







First Stop for *hot sugar syrup* aka chai




Roads leading to Nandi Hills (I missed the exit, only to see in my RVM that IronHawk was turning in somewhere)


Maintained a steady 60-80kmph speed, probably the best FE my Beat has ever given

Approaching the hill before the climb, kept my camera in

Reached the top and a head turned

This Ritz looks stunning!













Overall, an enjoyable meet and drive!

Oops! Karthik, thanks for the treat!

Finally, got the chance to meet the Hawk. Interestingly, we work for the same company and Nilesh too.

PM'ed you my OC contact.

Some pics :

Some really nice pics!

Oh yes, the symbians were really enjoying Avi's ride -- jumping on the roof, pushing each other down the windshield and hanging on the side mirrors!

Hey, it was great meeting you too, @superutp!

Looking forward to a propah meet with you guys again!

Edit: @superutp, some great angles from your camera!! Should have got my SLR and the fish-eye lens. Would have added to all the interesting shots you guys have taken. Next time!

[glenrox]

WOW! Looks like awesome fun, specially driving in a convoy. How do I ensure not missing such threads in future?!

[KarthikK]

Fantastic pictures H4wk and superutp, superb angles and covers pretty much the whole sequence of events since h4wk was around, I hardly took out the camera. Will upload whatever few snaps I took, tonight. @h4wk and superutp, can you share the pics on dropbox? I might want the originals to preserve them for my collection

@Nilesh and superutp - was really nice meeting you both since you weren't there during previous b'lore meets, hope we do these drives more often.

*ROFL* - sorry buddy I didn't have your number, else would have sms'ed you as well. Next time definitely will let you know in case you don't check here. Next time we can do Devarayana Durga hill. That won't be as commercialized and crowded as Nandi hills, how about this weekend?

@Nilesh - fisheye lens!! I want a wide-angle pic of the interior cockpit of my linea like the one you have on your Vento's ownership thread. I will be troubling you for this during the next meet

by checking this thread around every Thursday-Friday-saturday time frame. Weekend drive plans are usually made around then.

[Mad Max]

Please let me know as well. Would love to catch up with the TBHP Bangalore community.

I am game. That would be saturday, the 5th of May.
Do we keep the same location (D.durga) or do we go to some other place? Let the debate begin . Calling other Bangalore meet regulars and irregulars.

@Aditya - I might join you on 2 wheels with the T-bird, if I can somehow manage to get it serviced before that

Karthik, hope your bike is ready for the ride.

Lets keep DD hills as an option. Its not a great place and nandi hills is far better IMHO.

Anyway, lets see what others have to suggest

[IronH4WK]

I wanna come too on my CBZ, but out of town this and the next weekend :(


afterthought: you guys will probably leave me in the dust

I am in for next weekend - 2 or 4 wheel

Nothing happening this weekend? Long weekend sort of no (May 1st)?

Aye aye, new phone ka chamatkar . Nice clarity sir. No wonder your sniper shots are awesome and still don't know how you manage to take those pics from the rear view mirrors.

I guess we should try new places like kanva dam, shravanabelagola.

[nozzlering]

What about Nandi hills? It seems last meet was done at Nandi Hills. But its a nice place.
