Bike perfomrance in trip

A small preview of what to expect...

Yours previews are all bloody. First it was a dead rabbit and now.. A LEECH BITTEN HAND.

On a biking note-: how was the bike's performance during the trip and how satisfied are you? Did you think that any other bike would have been better than the ZMA, for the ride (only personal opinion... this is not for any brand war).

I'm asking this because I read somewhere than another bike (not naming it) was looking better to you every day

No more bloody previews.regarding the zma's performance....amazing.When it comes to touring the zma is the most comfi.It just lacks the puch in the hills when you compare it to say a ....thats because of its lazy nature of its engine.however even after riding 1444.44 kms in 4 days I didint feel tired like how I used to feel after a 1000 kms + ride on my p 150.I personally feel the 220 might be better on the hills due to its high reving nature , its seating posture and FI , however on bad roads and on the GQ the zma rules.(this is my personal opinion- nio brand wars plase).

I was about to ask about leeaches, and here it happened.

My wife was the victim when we went last time. NOw, she will never go into those tea fields again.

I too felt the same but I thought it might be only for my ZMA

Waiting for next day's report.

On a personal note-: Please pass on my regards to KeKe.

Final set of pics for the day...

Stevie, those were stuning pictures. Nothing can beat the serenity of Munnar. It was wonderful to see those lush green again. The climate was just like when we went last time. You guys had real fun.

I am surprised to see even the Kodai with rain. Nice weather. I just feel like pack things and start to Munnar.

Awesome pics. Guess you missed scripting the leech-bite story.

Munnar calling

.

A small question-Generally Sep end-October are dry months and even in Himalayas you generally don't see any rain.But it seems that most of the southern hill stations are getting a regular dose of rain and fog.Is this a natural phenomenon?Also normally which are the dry months in a place like Munnar?

**prakash_mvpa** · 10-09-2008, 09:52 PM

^well ,here in Kerala- it is monsoon and it is divided into two stages(

) :
1)kaala varsham(normal monsoon)
2)Thula varsham(with thunder and heavy rains and is not frequent-will come in evening)

yeah ,for moonnar and other hill stations ,drizzling is always there
