  • A friend's marriage, A new bike -- Good enough reason to go touring :D

    Not the one to usually write logs I am posting my trip to UP to attend a friend's wedding

    prologue

    After last year's leh ride & before this years another long ride as usual was itching for a small ride somewhere

    Plan was to joing up MG to his south trip

    A sudden call from a close college friend -- "abe 20 din baad meri shaadi confirmed hai -- aana hai" -- I am like -- A week before that there was nothing from his side

    so with no option but to cancel the trip I looked online to book air tickets when suddenly a thought to combine this with a bike ride came to mind

    A call & message to MG to help with the route & added inputs from Anant bhatia & gaurav thakkar I made my plans to do this

    No a big solo ride fan as I like to talk,discuss & share the day to day experiences with atleast one like minded soul my worry was of being bored & nothing else

    borrowed bags from deepan since mine would touch the CBR's exhaust I got ready to roll on 2nd july 2011

    Bike: Red std cbr 250

    gears:fieldsheer leather jacket & leather pants
    fieldsheer polar waterproof gloves
    kevlar normal leather gauntlets
    EVS kidney belt
    Bell star viper helmet
    thor 50-50 riding shoes

    Camera :canon eos 1000D with std lens (am obviously not a very good photographer & like more to be in front of the camera )

    Bags: dirtsack saddle bags
    logitech hardshell kinetik laptop bag

    phones: videocon ducati v6200
    Asus windows mobile

    raingear : duckback

    some pics from FB -- dunno if will be visible here or not-- rest of story coming soon

    At the start of the journey some 100 kms from home just before kasara ghat



    Before shivpuri MP

                      Hey DK,

                      What was the distance that you travelled?

                      Didnt it get boring after some time with no-one for company & travelling all alone.

                      Even i want to try touring solo, but i am inclined on having partners incase of any breakdown or any untoward incidents.
                      Ride Hard !!! Ride Safe!!! Enjoy every moment on your machine !!! Cheers....
