I am a member of Group of Delhi Super Bikers (GODS). Last year I went with our group to Leh-Ladakh, Rishikesh and in 2010 the group went to Lansdowne on our bikes. I am a die hard biker and a great fan of Bike magazine. I am a native of Tirunelveli District near Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. In the month of June I visited my hometown to see my parents and wife. I took my Karizma ZMR from Delhi by train and planned to come back by road to Delhi.
I started my journey on 6th July 2010 in the morning at 7 am from my residence at Tirunelveli. I covered the distance of 700 kms from my place to Chennai in 8 hours and 30 minutes. The highway was great. After reaching Chennai I went to the Castrol Bike Point where I got the engine oil of my bike changed because the bikes service was due. While the bike was being serviced I took some light refreshment and fluid for myself. After getting the service done I started for Vijaywada at 4.30 pm. A ride of around 4 hours from Chennai took me to Ongole Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh. As it was getting dark I had to take refuge in a hotel called Harsha Lodge. Next day i.e. 7 July I started my journey at 6 am. The monsoon had reached Andhra Pradesh and was raining in many places. I reached Hanuman Junction at 8 am where I stopped and sought guidance for my way to Nagpur. I have met a Gentleman Dr. Ashok Kumar in hanuman Junction who helped me a lot. I had to cover 150 kms from Hanuman Junction to Nuzvid, Visanpeta, Putrela, Tiruveru, Kallur, Wyra, Khammam. After reaching Mancheriyala on 7 July at 7 pm again stayed in a hotel for the night. Because from Mancheriyala to Adilabad I had to cover 150 kms and the whole area was jungle. The local cops advised me to halt at Mancheriyala and I wont get any assistance for my bike if it breaks down. In the morning of 8 July I started my ride from Mancheriyala at 6 am I had to cover Lakhshidapet, Jannaram, Utnoor, Gudiyatnur and Adilabad, the 150 kms ride was like heaven on earth for me the entire route was jungle. After reaching Adilabad I took the highway to Nagpur. I had wasted 14 to 16 hours in Andhra Pradesh due to heavy rain and it was horrible to ride but the weather was awesome.
After hitting the Nagpur highway I reached Bhopal at 9 pm at night again I had to halt at Bhopal. In the morning of 9 July I had started the ride at 7 am from Bhopal while crossing Bhopal again the route was amazing for 100 kms the route was jungle again. After Bhopal I crossed Gwalior, Agra, after covering Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana finally I reached my destination New Delhi at 6 pm. The entire ride was amazing and the ZMR had done an outstanding job throughout the journey and not even a single puncture occurred.
