Coast for the Bangy guys must be the Konkan. Here are my guesses - Mangalore or Kundapura. Definitely, it is not Goa.

John baba, do not delay the log and pics.

When I am tired, I am frastated I look for person to eradicate my tiredness, to come out from frastation. But nothing works infront of Biking.

Two days holiday. Decided to clearn house, clothes and to do some other work. 8 oct morning. Woke up lil late. frastated mind. No riding plan.Dry wallet.

Send an sms to Ajay " What are you doing ? ". Reply " Nothing ". Sms to Mibhin the same. Reply " Bored in Home ". Expected replies they were. Discussed with Ajay to go somewhere. But don't know where to go. Ajay told me just come to my place will discuss and move.filled the saddle bag with neccessary. Arrived at Ajay's place at 3 pm. Mibhin on the way to reach.Start searching place where to go. Ajay took the responsibility to find a better place to hang out.


We made up our mind to go near beach area. So Honnavar got the highest vote. Specially we wanted to ride on twisty road. So Shimoga, jog fall, honnavar was our perfect choice. Mibhin arrived with red RTR. Was chatting with Sudeep (tumkur xbhpian). He will meet with us at Tumkur was the plan. We are ready to sit on our bike now





We decided to hit tumkur road via NICE road and it was the right decision I must say. Unexpected traffic jam we faced till first toll gate when we touched tumkur road. It was really horrible. We lost Ajay in city traffic. After that Hassan diversion me and Mibhin was waiting for Ajay.After 10 Minutes Ajay reached. We took our next break at Tumkur.

Waiting for Sudeep
Soon he arrived with his friend Jim. It was nice meeting sudeep and jim. We took tea break inside the city somewhere. And thanks for showing us the longer way. we realised on the way back. When we left the tea shop it was already dark. We decided to stay at Sagar. The only tension was whether late night log in facility wud b there in hotel at sagar or not. Anyway we started. And took another tea break at KB Cross.


After KB cross we took dinner break at Masala at Kodur. And it was delicious recipe there. Very nice place and one the best dhaba near that area. I strongly recommend tourer to take break there for lunch / dinner if anyone on that way. Filled our stomach with Non-veg, chicken, mutton. Obviously not Ajay as he is vegetarian.


We reached shimoga at 1 am. We decided not to go ahead on that time. So start finding Hotel. Ajay was searching the hotel where he stayed last time. We go few hotels but parking was the problem. we took few snaps while searching hotel


We stayed at Sri Dugra Lodge and it was good. The funny part was we stayed 3 separate rooms as no twin/triple share room was empty. I was at Ground floor, Ajay and Mibhin on first.

Note down the number and address. It might help to our tourers

Sri Durga Lodge
B.H. Road. Shimoga - 577201
Phone
08182-223081

To be Continued...
