Am I the first xBHPian to pay toll here?

Here is a glimpse of the road itself...


I reached this milestone at this spot

Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Yeah sure go ahead, just make sure you have enough fuel, water and eatables. Though we didn't encounter any fuel pump/restaurant, it still might be present on later stretch of the expressway.
Just to make up your mind, I even encountered a guy on a black CBR with a girl and by their riding style, they were probably going all the way to Agra.
Thanks for the advise dude...I and my Wife rode all the way on the 15th and it was awsome, riders with Tricolors fixed on to their steeds, which was a delight to see. I tried and kept calm; however, the Throttle asked me to twist it hard and by the time we were half way through, I was doing 130Kmph easily. The wind blast was massive but the squating helped. there are public convenience stops after every toll plaza but no food & water. We hardly stopped enroute. We were in Agra in 1 hr 40 min. One suggestion from my side would be that inflate the tyres with the Nitrogen Gas instead of the regular air, as the tyres aree getting heated rapidly and are bursting, I happened to witness it on that day. Rest is all history...Happy Riding

hey @Sidlewis, i had a question, though not related to the xpressway here. i have always thought of filling Nitrogen in my RE tyres (tyres with tubes).
my confusion was, can i fill in Nitrogen with regular air already there or will i have to first remove the old air then fill up completely with Nitrogen? And later if i dont get Nitrogen always what would be the approach?

Its better U deflate the tire completely and then fill with nitrogen. Also I used to fill nitrogen for my car with nitrogen and refill once in 3 months. I never felt a major drop in pressure. Recently I filled my bike with nitrogen and it went good for 2000 kms. But filling air with nitrogen should be less. If you are unsure that you wont get nitrogen elsewhere, then don't fill with nitrogen.Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk ! - Tony Stark

Yes, I totally agree...you first have to deflate both the tyres fully and then fill em up with Nitrogen, 25/- per tyres the first time and then 10/- for every subsiquent top-up. your steed should go with out the next top-up for atleast a month or 1000 to 1500 keys depending whichever is the first. If ypu are not sure of the availability of the Nitrogen for the next top-up, please do not mix with the regular air, as it will destabalize the inflation of the tyres. Happy Riding!!!

Maybe I'm re-igniting an old thread, but are those speed cams actually in use? And is the speed limit really 70km/h for 2-wheelers?
Even I personally don't like an all-straight, barren stretch of road. The 32-km long, 6-lane NICE expressway itself starts getting extremely boring after a few minutes at 120. I'd rather do 80 on a smooth, tree-lined countryside road with twists, curves and the occasional wayside town. Maybe 4, 6 and 8-wheeled commuters would love the expressway it when they are cocooned in Air-con cabins, listening to songs or watching slapstick comedy movies in reclined seats!Last edited by bbsrailfan; 03-25-2013, 11:44 AM.Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo.
