I read about your bike stunts. That starting point of the one-way at plamood junction was one of our favorite spots. Then there was a dip in the road somewhere between LH and Chavadymukku. We used to race above 100 so that we could jump over the dip. I don't know whether it was there when you were there. Geo: Geo I know that you are a daredevil driver. I read about your bike stunts.

It was my dad’s lamby. I could do this only for a few days, as he sold it. I still remember the price—Rs. 1850. He must have used it for about 10 years. <b>Karin</b>: Thank you very much and welcome to my blog Karin. alit: Thank you alit.

Great narrative! Good sense of humour. I laughed reading about your experience of taking the yamaha out of the showroom! Of course it was partly scary too.

Waiting to read ur autobiography. I know its going to be super-duper. Well, I don't even know how to ride a bicycle, so can't comment on bikes, but the account of ur bikes is really interesting. Great pic too! Young and dashing! Another wonderful post. Waiting to read ur autobiography. I know its going to be super-duper.
