Awesome meet guys,
Unfortunately Sunday mornings I return home around that time so I dont think I can ever make it for idlies in time.
I did miss a good meet though.
Lovely pics guys.
Cheers

I saw that. The guy was seriously out of his mind. He was literally on top of Jag's Ikon. Finally, he overtook the Ikon from the left! If that wasnt enough he was playing cat-and-mouse with the KSRTC bus who finally let him overtake with a wave of the hand. It was evident the guy was on a suicide mission.

Meanwhile, here are the RR pics we had clicked. Jag's Ikon also features in the pic.

Is that the Jain temple atop a hill thats roughly opposite the Industrial Estate before Tumkur?

No, that is not the same temple, this one is after Tumkur, the one you are talking about is just before you reach Kyathsandra. I too have climbed up the hill to visit the Jain temple, when we had gone there during our college days, the priest gave us the keys and asked us to go open it ourselves and see it as he was done with the puja for the day.

The temple up there is of Lord Narsimha. I had visited to this place around 3 years back. Its a very old temple probably they have repainted the temple now.

Hari, great photos, interesting report and looks like the four of you had a good time. Thanks for posting. We would probably have joined you had we not been up at night. Didn't want to start halucinating in the day, would we now??

I almost did :(.. Should have stayed with you guys.

That was a lovely meet. Thanks guys for turning up. I too have a few pics pre-meet. Shall post them up for all those who missed the night out.

@ Vijay : I actually did manage to capture you but its way beyond focus. Either ways, you should have joined us when the other riders dropped out.

Nice new concept guys, driving out for some hot Idli and Dosa's. I think we will plan something like that in Hyderabad soon.

But, as you know Hyderabad is full of nawabs and most of us don't see the day starting before 11AM, so it would be certainly an uphill task.
