Bike India|May 2017

Triumph Motorcycles’ Pune owners group is pretty active when it comes to going out on rides long and short. We decided to join in on a relaxing Sunday morning ride to the Torna Fort region.

For The Sunday Morning Ride

IT IS 7.00 AM ON SUNDAY and I am standing outside the B U Bhandari Triumph showroom in Pune. I have been invited along for the classics and cruisers ride with the Pune Triumph riders. Our destination was a short, hopefully fun ride to the twisties on the road that leads up to the Torna Fort.
