My Delhi Trip

The Bike Nomads went to their first official Auto Expo visit. Official as they carried an identity of a Bike-Nomad to interact with the industry and evaluate the Motorcycles exhibited at the event.

This epic journey was actually planned during the month long sabbatical that Navendu and i had taken from our respective slavery's (jobs) and had decided to let our passion overtake our sensibility and give us a chance to interact with the best of the two wheeler industry.

We started off form Pune on the 13Th afternoon and reached Mumbai Central station to catch the Rajghani express. As we stood in the door of the fast moving train watching the sunset, we wondered what kind of a trip we had embarked upon and what kind of surprises awaited us at Delhi.

Delhi was reached just as dawn broke the still cold blue of the skies. After reaching Delhi we immediately spend some time in rush hour traffic trying to park the car and change in time to reach the auto expo within business hours.

Since we concentrated only on the Bikes there we moved straight to the Hall 7 which had most of the Bikes while Bajaj had moved out into Hall 3 exclusively as a strategic move or perhaps just a matter of convenience.

Detailed reports on each stall to follow soon. Watch this blog for more.

Post Auto expo i spent some real quality time with fellow Biker dudes there in Delhi, namely Akshay, Arunesh and Chetan who have been part of the Yezdi Gang and Sumeet Popli, Kam and our good ol Tao - Hitanshu who have been a Bike Nomad with me.

Spent some time at the Indian Air Force museum and then caught a flight back to Mumbai as the one to Pune was at odd times plus was WAY too expensive. After all Money for this trip was being routed from a lot of resources. So had to cut corners.



Went completely shutter crazy even during the flight experimenting with the camera settings of my Sony phone.

Finally landed back in Mumbai. Caught up with a local taxi to Dadar, and then a Bus back to Pune. Many Thanks to fellow biker Praveen Shirali to pick me up from the Bus stop and take me home...
