Not yet dude, planning for Michelin rubber for my older bike though. Will change it after this touring season I think-wearing it out as much as possible, lol! Anyway, I made the ride to Bangalore on last Sunday-I'm here till next Sunday.

8 hours with every 50 kms.break sounds great. I'm waiting to do it too!

8 hours seems too good man-you did it on your R15? How many breaks&what were the timings like?

No night riding, early morning should get one there by late afternoon/early evening. Almost complete stretch is 4 laned now to Bangy, people are doing it in 9-10 hours with 1-2 short breaks. Pune route is still single lane though.

Nope, no touring lately-planning to ride solo to Bangy/Pune once the service is done.

Its been 6 months. Yeah, I also use my Vega high end for touring only. If you are looking at flip-ups, Ninja 2G/3G and Boolean are good. I prefer Studds for the broad shell&comfy padding. If not, Studds has launched some new lids too-check www.thehelmetshoppe.com Rhyno is a good option also in full face.

R15 still buddy-keep having a look at the Ninja everytime I go to Bangy/Pune, but can't afford it-expenses are tough to manage after marriage. R15 is due for its 2 year end service-radiator(free by company), coolant, both brake fluids, engine oil&rear brake pads (worn to the hilt) need to be replaced. Polishing etc.will bring the bill upto Rs.2500, so I've been postponing it!
Ninja 2G is holding up pretty well.

Hey, I've been busy with personal stuff&haven't got time to attend to the bike at all. It badly needs a service.

LOL, sorry! Blame xBhp's layout for that!

Oops, sorry man.. didn't notice your visitor message! And yes, I do have holidays during weekends.
