I work in Chennai and visit my parents who are Bangalore based a few times every month. I own a Duke 390 and have been riding this route since I got it - have done this 4 times so far and wish to know if there are others who ride this route often.

My schedule is usually as follows -
1. Chennai to Bangalore: Start either on Friday or Saturday morning, around 6-7am from OMR
2. Bangalore to Chennai: Start either on Sunday or Monday morning, around 6-7/7-8am from Hosur Road

I usually do this in 4-4.5 hours depending on traffic - take an average of 250 minutes door to door. I only stop to refuel once if I start with a full tank. No other breaks.
I am really not interested in going fast or breaking records. It would be nice to ride this route with other people.

I have seen a group of Harley riders while going to Bangalore on a Friday morning once. I have also seen one chap with an RTR180 do this and one R15V2 rider who likes to ride solo
