We started on 25th Wednesday night 9 pm from blore with 8 guys n 8 bikes for an adventurous trip.
I was wondering as if i m king of the roads as we were running at more than 100 kph mostly.
I was the worst rider among all of them as i was never able to open throttle like them. Even then I tried to keep the pace.
In 4 days I drove around 1300 km, max speed 120 - 122 kph
Seen lot of places with complete independence (as we were kings)
We were in complete attire of the professional bikers with complete bike repairing kit, first aid, gloves, helmets everything.
The best part which i like is that when we use to drive our bikes together in a queue it was awesome.
All bending, turning, one behind the other on roads, turns.
In market, roads etc people use to see us in amazement as soon as we "vrroommed" in front of them.
Children were waving whenever they saw us.
We crossed Kochi (blore – mysore - coimbatore – alyar - kochi - munnar) and while coming back I crossed salem, hosur etc
Munnar
was really very beautiful and I wished to pass some more time over
there but as u all know life is a bitch (My favorite comment) so didn't
get much out of it.
Other guys went to Kanyakumari from there n
I came back to blore driving 520 km on sunday (too tiring, heavy head,
broken ass, spinal - so much driving in one day)
Now i am wondering how I have done that........ But now I want to go for more.
It gives you a huge satisfaction, confidence and a pinch of difference from others
