Tales Of The Twisted Throttle


Dirt, mud, river, rocks, slush, twisties, tarmac, trails... Yes, I was out riding.



Those kids happened to catch my eye as i blazed past. They were doing what was the equivalent of Noodling but they'd beat any redneck at it, for the fish were about 2 inches long.



The irony of the red-neck(ish) situation is that the kid to the right appeared to be the other kid's 'Man Friday'. He wasn't allowed to speak to me even though i conversed in the local tongue and it took a bit to persuade Friday to stand in on the pic too. No prizes for guessing who caught the fish. ;)



Trip cost:Rs 508.50
Distance covered: 327km
Total time: 6 hours
The sticker on the side of the bike is of a friend's Motorcycle Adventure company IndiMotard Adventures. Must see!

PS: Excuse the poor quality pics, they were off a E50 cell phone camera. :)

When the rush comes...


Not so sure if I was supposed to be near those clouds. Not sure if I was supposed to jump off that rock face. Not sure if I was supposed to accelerate to a hundred in 3 seconds...on one wheel. When in doubt, ask no questions, just follow the flow of adrenaline.

Laying low


This is definitely no barn find, but was laying low in a garage in Mumbai. Take a shot at this rare work of art if you will?


Here's another clue. The louvres that aided in cooling. This one was a marvel for assuming function over form and yet is one of the most beautiful cars ever concieved.

Quicker than a ray of light she should be flying...


Weathered in a time capsule, this Sun might just see a new ray of light soon.
Watch this space.

Circa 1943 - a gentleman's living room


When I grow up I want a Norton in my living room too.
