Its not a dream anymore!! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

I_Chennai · 08-02-2011, 02:15 PM

Riding a bullet is my childhood dream. Its not a dream anymore. Yes, Gifted myself a new RE Thunderbird last week.

I live in Chennai but booked the TBTS in Tirupur RE showroom. which is 500km away from chennai near Coimbatore. So, the plan was to ride all the way from Tirupur to chennai.

Last saturday evening, got a call from the dealer that she has arrived.
I was very exicted and call my friend who is a native of Tirupur to accompany me on the ride. He agreed to it.

We both picked up the bike last monday and started on Tuesday early morning 6:00 reached chennai around 5:30pm.

Total KM : 540 km

Route : Triupur - Comibature - Gobi - Bhavani - Mettur - Dharmapuri - Krishnagiri - Vellore - Chennai

Congrats on the new ride!
I think the butterfly crash guard suits the bike better, just my personal opinion though.
