Fruit seller: corporation has a street fight

The anti encroachment force of the Belgaum Corporation yesterday had a tough time on Club road when they were there to remove a Fruit seller who had encroached.
It is said that the fruit seller attacked the BCC team and the glass pane of the BCC vehicle was broken. The fruit seller alleged that only he was being targeted when there were so many other encroachments on the road.

There is a fascinating number of people out there who have a passion for Bullets / Royal Enfield Bikes. One might wonder though - in Belgaum, we seldom find people using such bikes. However, to your amazement, when you actually start "looking" you'll find that there are a fairly decent number of Royal Enfield enthusiasts in Belgaum City.

Sarayu K R - a law student from R L Law College, a passionate Royal Enfield Thunderbird rider started looking out for such Royal Enfield enthusiasts based in Belgaum. She found three of them online whom she pinged and they decided to meet on Sunday for a ride - 17th November. Amazingly, 9 bikers turned up with 5 pillion riders totally 14 in number. They assembled at Big Bazaar and then packed off on a ride to Hattargi - 35 kms away from Belgaum cruising at an average speed of 50 kmph. The objective of their ride was not speed but to enjoy the ride itself and of course nature.They stopped at a Dhaba for lunch, and then took some pictures across the highway followed by some tea at a Chai ka Thela. They started at 12 noon and returned to Belgaum - Hanuman Nagar at around 5. Dispersed at 5.30 pm.

Present Group members: Gaurav Wagle - Thunderbird, Sarayu K R - Thunderbird, Wati Jamir - Thunderbird, Aadil Bandukwala - Thunderbird Twinspark, Ram Mallya - Machismo, Urjeet Swamy - STD 350, Nitin Balbondi - STD 350, Sameer Walvalkar - STD 350, Akshay Kanwar - Electra 5S.


The group plans to start a club soon for Royal Enfield Bikers and plans to meet every fortnight for a ride - usually on Sundays.
I did not even get a chance to be a pillion rider on that Royal Enfield. But all those I know a few more get together guys and gals and ride the Royal way.

All those interested for club membership may email krsarayu@gmail.com
