Day 4: Udaipur
The first morning in Udaipur was spent catching up with sleep as every rider and driver were exhausted with the 500 km ride in the heat the previous day.
After a late breakfast, the team left for a shoot at the house of a gun collector. But unfortunately we only shot with our cameras and did not get to fire any of the guns, some of which were 150 years old. Guns from the First War of Independence to the two World Wars and lots more.

The evening was spent in The Chocolate Room. A wonderful little cafe run by xBhpian Nitin Harin, where you can get anything under the sun as long as it is made of chocolate! He was kind enough to invite the bikers of the lake city, who came on a weekday after work to meet the team and were happy to see the documentaries of xBhp's travels across the globe. It was good interacting with the bikers of Udaipur, as people of smaller cities are generally much warmer and go out of their way to make others more comfortable. A different side to the human spirit, in comparison to what we are used to in metro cities. Makes one question ones choice of living in a metro!!!

Day 5 Udaipur
Our second day in Udaipur split up the group as one half went visiting a farm house of an avid motorcyclist at the top of a hill and the other went to a stud farm to count the number of horses!
The morning was spent with a very interesting gentleman named Taahir Merchant, a businessman of Udaipur. Who loves to rip his Duke 390 at speeds, and still owns an RD 350, which happens to be his 5th over the last 25 years. A biker on a different level of riding even though he is in his forties. He took us to his farmhouse atop a hill, when we enquired about the size of his property, he pointed in all four directions and said that he owns three hills! The farmhouse of his is decorated with different parts of various bikes, scooters and cars and he is an avid motorcycle restorer. But he does not just restore classic and vintage bikes to their original, he lets his creativity go wild and comes out with some amazing creations. We let the pictures do the talking!
