Date Feb 18-20 2022: Every year Harley riders host an annual event for all the members to do a group ride. Generally the group goes to Goa however, this time since there were some covid restrictions we have chosen Kimmane Luxury Golf Resort. The ride was worth while, well organised and lot of awesome riders. Its more like a family reunion and glad to see the faces behind the WhatsApp names.
Road trip: started the trip at 5AM early in the morning, most riders assembled at Nalagamala Toll. From there we headed to Chitradurga and took left towards Kimmane Resort. Stopped at local BJP MP who was gracious enough to host breakfast for the riders. After that headed to the resort, certain patch was repairing on the way, was almost about to fall down because of the wet road. The total trip was around 640 kms and most of the road is nice and not that traffic. The ride was coordinated well, especially all the sweepers waiting for everyone to get in. I think I need to improve on learning few of hand signals, always get confused with left or right way to showing the pedestrians to stop proceeding.
Huddle at the local BJP MP residence for breakfast.
Unfortunately the lead rider, had a flat tire so had to stop and get the bike sorted out. Good time to pose here :).Later the bike was towed back to Bangalore.
Kimmane Luxury resort is around 350 acres of land, with decent golf fairway, Beatle nut farm, a huge lake which they are going to use for kayaking in future and lot of place to walk. The food was great especially Mexican salad and Mutton Curry. Its north of Shivamogga and not that remote. Lot of birds in the area as well. Here are some of the photos of the resort.We stayed there for 2 days, folks partied a lot and lot of smoking :(. And ofcoarse who would miss some steps for music when you are drunk :). I should have got some poker chips to play, it would have been more fun.
Final day ride back:
It was amazing trip with lots of memories behind however, It would have been lot more fun if all of the folks ride together which gives sense of togetherness.
