Sometimes 10 is not just a number…. Sometimes, the bullet just isn’t another motorcycle…. Most times, you will find only madness around us..

                               To Hell with you… To Heaven with us  !!! 
Ten years… plenty of miles covered, packets and packets of ciggi’s lit, glasses of chai downed and the growing brotherhood … Ten years just flew by but it feels like yesterday. Year after year, we have seen the madness grow, the passion ignite the mortal mind, the roads come  [read more →]

KTMC 6 A – A ride of memories

at 7:12 pm in Community News by Mustang · Leave a Comment »

It was that time of the year when the sun shines bright, leaves on a tree fade as the light and sitting at home during the hot afternoons sounds most sensible…. But it was also that time of the year when KTMC has their anniversary ride and given the most exotic location chosen, it was not a ride to be missed.
The party was set for 2 nights.. each at a different venue ! The idea sounded brilliant, the location –  [read more →]

RM 12

Feb 6, 2012 at 8:17 pm in Community News by Mustang · Leave a Comment »

4 days into the week after the Rider Mania weekend, memories still linger fresh… The route plan, the time on the road, accommodation, partying, meeting old friends – meeting new friends, the loss of a fellow brother…and in my take, we saw the full circle of life !

Its been a mania alright  ! Its been action, its been tight, Its been laughter, its been exhilaration, its been joy, its been adrenaline, its trickling memory, its careful thought, its been life !

Bulls of Shimoga – 1A

Dec 21, 2011 at 6:32 am in Community News by Rajith Cherian · Leave a Comment »

The paint was fresh and the mods were new. After a host of changes on my bike in lieu with the preparation for Rider Mania I was itching for a ride after Ooty. Thank God for BOS for having their 1st anniversary and thank God for hosting it in an off beat location. Ballavara is 15km from Kemmangundi, Karnataka. Hopes were high for a scenic ride. We decided to leave on Friday evening hoping to reach B’lre by mid-night.

BOS 1A

Dec 20, 2011 at 6:51 pm in Community News by Harish Kumar R · Leave a Comment »

The riding season in Chennai atleast had begun during August and it has already been almost 2 months since the Ooty ride in October. I had also missed the Raid de Kodai, by Kovai thumpers. So the urge for riding has been built up and a certain ride was on the cards before the RM 2012. Then was when BOS 1A invite had come. No postponing and we registered one after another.

The route:

No big planning was done as  [read more →]

Long way up – RTMC 10A @ Ooty

Oct 29, 2011 at 6:07 pm in Community News by Rajith Cherian · Leave a Comment »

It has been months since I last went for a multi-day ride and as usual I was too eager to make up for it. RTMC 10A @ Ooty was a great excuse to satisfy the itch. But riding from Chennai to Ooty and back is fun but I had something bigger in mind. Instead of riding 1200km ride 1800km with more than 600km of twisties which I like to call as “twist-tease”.The problem of being in Chennai is that we  [read more →]

It has been a while since I updated anything on this blog. I want to say that I was busy but unfortunately no one is going to believe that. So lets simply say that I was lazy.

Even though the footage was very little its always  [read more →]

Wayanad Ride

Wayanad District in the north-east of Kerala, India, was formed on November 1, 1980 as the 12th district by carving out areas from Kozhikode and Kannur districts. Kalpetta is the district headquarters as well as the only municipal town in the district. The region was known as Mayakshetra (Maya’s land) in the earliest records. Mayakshetra evolved into Mayanad and finally to Wayanad.The Folk etymology of the word says it is a combination of Vayal (paddy field) and Naad (land), making  [read more →]

We… are the Madras Bulls… A crazy bunch of like-minded nomads who love the roads, the life that circles around Chai, road side eateries and endless touring…

The last couple of days quite revived the biking spirit…. Saturday was riding out with the Madbulls as we set to receive a classic example of how crazy we get – Gokul or Gokill as we like to call him…. Touring across 6000 + kms on a Bajaj M80, a 1986 made 80 cc motorcycle…  Riding  [read more →]

Ride to Niagara

at 7:02 am in My Rides by Bharath aka Bra · 3 Comments »

Here is my first trip log for this site…

I bought the Kawasaki KLR650 in Feb 2011 and wanted to do a big ride. TAT (Trans-American-Trail)  was the first thing that came to mind. Its a 90% offroad and 10% state road combination starting from Tennessee and goes West. But before that wanted to see how the KLR performed with all the luggage and my abuse.

That’s when my school buddy Amirth asked me to make a trip to Buffalo. So thatz how the  [read more →]
