@Ketan-Nice ride there.The flower field photograph was too good.

Btw did you guys took Mumbai-Pune Expressway(You mentioned rejoining old highway after Lonavla) for reaching Pune.As far as I know no two-wheelers are allowed in that stretch.

P.S:Please make sure that you post pictures in resolution 640*480 or less.

@ MG_Biker1806

Nope.. not the entire pune expressway..U r right, 2 wheelers r not allowed on the expressway. But there's a certain patch between khandala and lonavala which is compulsory, there's no other route. So 2 wheelers r allowed for that patch only. One has to entire the expressway from khandala entrance and MUST exit at the lonavala exit, if one goes beyond then god save him

..

bout the pics..yeah sure.. actually this was the first time i posted a triplogue here and that too with pics embedded in the write up only. In other posts i used to attach pics. So didnt hav much idea. Will make sure next time though.

@ archistar

Thanx bro...

@ Anup Abraham
yeah..it's beautiful...even better in august-sept. just after the rains... there's lush greenery everywhere.. it's totally a different world there...

Thanx all u guys..

Ketan, good trip... nice log and good photos too... Thanks for sharing with us

BTW, which camera did you use? Was the air dusty or the day pretty hot? I believe many photos should have had a better colour depth!

Please also consider a full face helmet and a pair of gloves for you... for an R15 a good pair of gloves make your hands feel more comfortable, apart from the safety they offer.

@ HydBiker
thanx for commenting buddy..
well i use Canon SX100 IS.

Yeah.. i m planning to go for a full face helmet..
and bout gloves, i m all set to buy the R15 gloves which company is selling. But here in Mumbai at Malad factory outlet they r out of stock..so just waiting for it...

Nice trip ketan. Even I am feeling like going for such long ride.

Seems like you have leaned a lot after seeing the tires.
Bikes are not allowed on express highway. How did you go there?
DSG is quite difficult to find for the First time. I had searched it for nearly an hour. The Address is 6,MG Road and on 6, MG Road you can see a Restaurant but no sign of DSG.

"Seems like you have leaned a lot after seeing the tires."

I didnt get what u meant to say bro..?

Well bikes r allowed on the expressway in a certain patch... where there's no other way to go to Pune.. One enters at khandala entrance and exits at lonavala exit...this patch is mandatory.. no other road option..

Yeah..true... Planet DSG is very difficult to find out..

It's not the restro..it's actually a bakery.. Planet DSG is exactly behind that bakery..And on top of it the name of the shop's not planet DSG..so locals dont know it by that name..

the name's dream bikes... or something..
