Wow.. Friday was a treat for the eyes. There were about twenty odd Enfield Bullets lined-up outside Giorgio at Besant Nagar Beach today. Two of the riders would be setting out on the Tip-Top expedition - from the tip of India to the top of India, the Kanyakumari to Khardung-La ride.

What was I doing there ? Well, my roomie happens to be a Madras Bull himself and he was accompanying these chaps to send them off from Kanyakumari.

The Madras Bulls are unlike the H.O.G. bikers of the Harley fame. No menacing looks. Reasonably normal frames and their bikes look mostly manageable. And I did not happen to spot any tattoos. Interestingly, one of the riders embarking on the K2K expedition did sport a tilak. That's for good luck. Somethings are best done the Indian way !
