Cost breakup of the SS

@Frankpilli,
Thanks man!
Speeds on the ride:

I was consistently about 90 kmph most of the time.
would just make it about 105 kmph for some time after every refuelling for about 30 mins or so, and then back to the 90s.

Rain brought me down to 80s and at times 60s.

Almost 4-5 times maxed out at 120 kmph.
But, didn't think it was wise to go all the way Throttle-wide-open on such a long ride! So, kept my throttle just to rev like 7~8 Kays on the tacho.

Cost break up of (just) the ride:

1. Reached Full tank to the start line ( minus fuel worth 28 kms )

NECE toll - 40 INR

Total fuel till last tank up - 60.6 litres
60.6x70(avg of MH and KA)= 4242 INR

NECE end toll - 10 INR
At the end of the trip I was left with almost a half tank of fuel (So, to add up to the final count lets add 4 lit. as compensation amount)
+280 INR

Net costs of just the bike fuel + Toll = 4572 INR

FE - Approx 26 kmpl

__

Consumables cost -

Snickers (3X15) - 45 INR
Gatorade (3X35) - 105 INR
Maaza (1X25) - 25 INR
Water (1 lit) - Priceless
Dates -20 INR

Total Consumables - 195 INR

__

So, that's the breakup.


Thanks,

Ace.

EDIT:

@Manju43in,
Thanks dude!

Some inputs

Some inputs for Saddlesore attempts:

Looking at the time I clocked in the beginning 700 kms was really assuring.
(Set up your self- and go with steady pace)

When you encounter traffic/rush at bunks - you really get frustrated, even feel more stress! (just understand - 5~10 minutes at a bunk is acceptable - and fits in time, so, keep your cool!)

The choice of the route - and turn around as well - should be done really in very clear details, as accurately as possible.
(That will increase the chances of you doing it as planned- and without taking unnecessary risks!)

Do NOT panic/frustrate yourself- If you find out
"Last one hour, I could travel only 55 kms!"
OR
"These 5 trucks are moving so damn slow!!"

Well- trust me- you just waste some valuable energy when you get angry/panicky.
Save it - and - try to maintain somewhat higher speeds at least 15 mins per hour. That way - you wont stress the bike- and you will also be alert in that "speed zone".

It can be done. << Focus on that.

Thanks,

Ace.

nice one
