      @Pkon: Beautiful text accompanied by some very nice and interesting photographs. Lovely. How many people were there in total? I believe a four-wheeler also accompanied the Bandit?

      Nice, very nice. Do share more photographs if you have.

                Praveen, it's not enough that you fooled Sunil and me into thinking you were Sunny (when you guys were in Bangalore), you have started to dress like him while riding as well!!

                Jokes apart, good photos, nice ride. The wife looks very comfortable in the pillion, and the bike itself looks great.

                        Lovely Place, Lovely Trip, Lovely Bike and to top it all Lovely Travelogue with nice pics ! Keep it up, do more trips and keep sharing your experiences. Few questions out of curiosity:
                        * What was the top speed you touched?
                        * At what speed does it comfortably cruise?
                        * How is the Pillion Comfort?
                        Young riders pick a destination and go, Old riders pick a direction and go !

                            @pulsater they get almost 6 lanes on one side of the road :-)

                            and yes riding is a pain with the constant breaking and the frequent surprises people through by unknowingly jumping on the road

                            @shelton_jh to answer your queries :
                            * I mostly drove in the region of 80-90 odd not pushing it too much as there was always an element of surprise with cows parked on the dividers ready to jump at a moments notice
                            * Its comfortable at any speed and cruises well around 90 odd
                            * Pillion Comfort is pretty good considering I was riding a Thunderbird before this and it had a backrest. But with constant breaking on Indian roads it does become a little painful after every 80 odd kms.

                            @rossiter yes I borrowed his jacket to complete the con :-) The DSG was a little bulky for the monsoon and I didnt want to carry that much weight. But yes look out for the cons becoming better and better by the day!
