.

I finally read it. Nice trip you had there. And I noticed as well that you managed to keep good time as well with 5% no roads, 20% bad roads, you managed to do 660 kms in 14 hrs, that is pretty good for India.

I guess I'm tuned to riding on GQ roads too much where clocking an approx. 90Kmph avg. speed is given. eg: Chennai-Bangalore 350 kms in 4 hours.

The day we spoke over the phone, that day I had not even given the job interview. MBA plans are dropped for this year atleast. But hopes are still high, lets see if something happens out of the blue.

Can't make you remember your trip, kyunki phele toh I can't click as good pics as you and doosra this was not much of photography ride.

Thanks Ken Da, I guess it was going all guns on good and ok roads that saved a bit of time.

Log of the first half the trip is up.....sorry I have not been able to devote much time to it, since the ride is still in progress.

Since Bombay is at MSL, the tuning is slightly leaned out and boy oh boy...the bike is now accelerating like a ROCKET.

Damn..I wonder when/where i would be able to gauge your bike's full potential!!
