Malshej Reloaded

Had been on a trip to Malshej Ghat last week... was a overnite trip... a trip in the rains..,
The last trip to Malshej was the first one on the Bike... i was a novice rider then, but even then those curves left a deep impression in my mind... so this time when the trip was planned, there was a growing sense of exhilaration of hitting those curves once again... only thing i had to mind was rain and slush...

Well seems i did not have to mind anything... the cloud cover is a thing i had long missed since my days in North Bengal... the rains just added the flavour to the seasoning of the curves or vice versa... curves at 60 meant even more deftness and control... The R15 never ceases to surprise as it takes every curve headon, the front tyre giving loads of feedback to the rear and thus munching up curves like spoilt kids at Mac ds. Its a feeling i can keep descriing pages on end.. but lets keep that in memory and get out with the captures...
Breakfast at Kalyan - Starts raining
Stopped here last time too... nice big curveThe road ahead
Full Frontal
Leaving me wet
Dude and Steed
I gobble up miles...
....wid a Turtle on my back
Cliffs hid by clouds...
Curves in mist...
....or the clearer ones
I like slush
A clearing on the lake
Bridgin!!!
ST - Travel Maratha Style
Leading on to the mountains at the horizonAao Twist Kare
Clouds on Cliffs...
....or all around the cliffs
I want to go up there again....
