30th Aug,

Desperately needed to ride this week so at 10:PM , messaged XBHP guys asking if any one were in for a ride, replies poured in asking for the destination, I just wanted to ride away from Bangalore, as usual JOHN replied back " Anchetti 70kms from Kanakpura, meeting point cool joint 5:30". I was happy that some one would be riding with me, didn't bother him asking him what was the place and all.

31st AUG,

5 Am: woke up took a quick shower, reached BDA complex at 5:40, john joined me 10 mins later, we procceded to cool joint met Prof.Najundappa and his friend, got to know Manju had a flat tyre he said he will be joining at Metro. Took few pics at metro while waiting for Manju and Jasir.









Manju and Jasir joined after 20 mins, without any delay we left, took Jasir as pillon cruised at 90's and reached Kanakapura around 8:30, stopped for breakfast, Thanks Prof sir breakfast was good.

As we closed in on Anchetti, the view was sooper, we stopped at many places took some pics . Jasir took out my camera and became our camera man for the day. The place cant be described in words. so more pics.



R15 very eager to take a dip



Some water splash









The Last 2-stroke in production



Had a close incident here, but lucky me and jasir brought down our legs in time and avoided the fall.

My other Half





It started pouring heavily neat Anchetti so me, manju and Jasir purchased rain gears in there, its a village, Manju found a shop which sold these as soon as we left that place rain stopped and sun came out strong




The small twist's









More coming soon

waiting... seems really interesting place!

hahaahh Mithun few days back I also opened a thread about our trip here is the link

Mod can merge now I think

How come i missed this thread, No problems, mods please merge the thread

Guys one request
would be useful if you could mention the route, distance, directions, etc of the place you visited - useful for people like who is still coming to know about great places close to Bangalore

Sure will do that in second part of the log

your teaser pic also shows that if you fall down..you have ample support and cushioning just to save you from touching the ground.

Log cont..

After we left Anchentti we came along the twisty roads and we decided to head to hogenakkal as we had no idea of getting back yet

En route to hogenakkal,

Some creative photo



Manju with his new role



As we were close to hogenakkal roads were like this






Reached hogenakkal, had full meals, all except me had fish missed this time also.
