Hi guyzZ,

Last Saturday, i went to Ilaveezhapoonchira, around 80 kms from Cochin (4-5kms off road). Reached around 7.30 night and started climbing hill by 7.45pm with Lord of the Streets (later i knew that FZ is not Lord of the Streets, also Lord of the Hills). very awesome place, off road drive was very fantastic. Road is covered with big round shaped rocks. Some cars are coming back when we are climbing the hill. They told that road is very very bad and we 'guyz' can't go to top.

So we taken a decision that with our FZ we will climb that hill. At last around 8.30pm, we reached top end of Ilaveezhapoonchira. Its around 3900ft height from sea level. There is only a resort of KTDC available there, when we touched the top, there were no roomsssss!!!!!!

At last they have given us a hut room!!! There are two Police wireless station situated on top stations, in that one is here. At night we thought we will go to that place. In my watch time clocked around 10pm. By god's grace there were no wild animals!!!

. We reached the Police wireless station at night and came back bcoz, at top wind is so chilled.

Next day, we all are planning to go to Idukki for seeing the Great Arch Dam in Asia. Thodupuzha-Idukki road was very superb. There were lot of hairpin bends and lot of curves also. We all are really enjoying the ride. When we are coming back, RX135's headlight has gone... don't know what happened

. So we planned FZ as Pilot Bikes for RX135!! :-) (FZ - RX135 - FZ)

Below are the pictures taken... Got less only, bcoz there were no power in that resort and camera have less charge....

Wow! Your thread title caught my attention immediately. I went in to look at this full on. Looks like you guys did offroading in the night. I have not yet tried that, though my offroading exploits are pretty recent. But I do not intend to do offroading in the night. It is quite a scary thought. And you also did offroading on paved smooth stones. Looks pretty dangerous too me. Had there been some rains on them, the bikes would be sliding around all over the place. Lovely!

Thanks for sharing.
