Day 5 - The Remote Control Drive

Thanks for the appreciations guys

Day 5 - The Remote Control Drive

After all the amazing experience we had in the complete trip with the experience getting better day by day it was finally the day of returning back to our home and get back to our regular life's office going guys

We started off from Bangalore at around 7am initially planning to start off at 5am ... The alarm SPOC Shashi did wake up at 5 or so and patiently tried to wake us up and watched us happily sleeping for the next hour or so

By the time we came to the highway it was around 8am and Nandi hills totally covered in mist was teasing us from a distance...
All of us had a thought to go to that mist again but keeping in mind we had 600 kms to ride for the day we dropped the plan...

Some pics of the Nandi Hills form a distance










We had a breakfast break at a Ghar Dhaba (HP Petrol Bunk) Food was good and meanwhile Harsha called us to inform us that he'd be starting from Hyderabad towards Kurnool and ride back along with us...

Harsha is a good high speed rider... Knowing that Harsha would be coming along with us for some 250kms I felt happy for Ram as through out the trip he was limiting his CBR to keep up our speeds

One more break


Time to Munch some Miles




Break 3 - Nice spot to rest eh!








The 4BHP Iskcon Temple at Anantapur



4BHP Vs 33 BHP


Some 40kms distance from Kurnoolwe met Harsha at a petrol bunk and all of us had a pretty lavish lunch again











Harsha accompanying us added a pinch of spice to our return journey!

For the next 100kms or so we were continuously maintaining speeds of 130 - 140 for sometime and it was fun...
It was then we stopped by for Shashi as he was slower riding on the R15...

Once Shashi joined us Harsha and Ram went ahead and I was trailing Shashi making sure we don't miss each other...

It was raining for some 50kms or so and we stopped by to take a beautiful landscape...


Now comes the best part of Day 5 Ride!
After 4 days of riding...
We saw the best sun-set near Shamirpet

Note: The below pics are UN-TOUCHED/UN-EDITED

















We bid farewell to Harsha at this point and Me, Ram and Shashi went ahead towards our homes...

It was an amazing ride which got better and better day by day!
And indeed an unforgettable experience

We have to Thank our families for supporting us in these rides

Well after all these logs and pics... All I can say is, the trip is Over but not the memories. They will remain forever in our hearts and this page on xBHP

GOD BLESS

awesomeee pics...especially the last lot(sunset)

i rode with you guys exactly for 270kms and the lunch at that dhaba was awesome and the entire chicken at the dhaba was completed


still the first pic of the log gets my vote

Just after we met harsha :



The entire trip was the most exciting trip I've ever done on two wheels. infact the best i've done on wheels. TO add to it, the company was fabulous. I did not get push my bike to the limits apart from the top speed runs I did on nice RR and NH7, but after I saw harsha in the fuel station, I was sure that I'll be pushing my bike to the limits. Harsha and abinav are my right companions when I have speed runs in mind. They just push the bikes to the limit.

Not that kiran doesnt push the bike to its limit, but he being a responsible man now, I don't want him to take risks. Not even a fraction of it. (in short, kiran is now "Kiran uncle")

Picture courtesy, Kiran - Credit goes to you bro. You're the man for this trip.

Next trip - Kanya kumari - Anybody game?

Was glued to the thread right from the beginning but since the whole suspense thriller game was being played with day to day updates, i chose to rest for a bit too

I am really glad to see few members of our Hyd xbhp going out and doing inter state rides for a change. Congratulations to Kiran, Sasi and Ram on this sweet lill trip.

Kiran anna, assuming that most of the pics are clicked by you, what do i say...truly breath taking. Most of the locations you have covered in the trip if not all, I have been there on 2 wheels my self but don't have even half the good pictures. Truly amazing stuff Sasi, from what I know he does not ride out much , so this must have done a world of good for him including the decision to upgrade to a 250cc . Ram, welcome to the world of riding out , glad you had the best ride of your life (as mentioned by you). I also read somewhere in Ram's comments about a thing or two about speed runs and couple of name's mentioned (all 250's), you should do a speed run with a peculiar species on a blue 150cc he hhe

Congrats once again to all the riders and forgot to mention , really well penned stuff. I wish I was half as good, (one of the main reasons why I do not put up rip logs- i just can't write)

peace.

Awesome!!!!!.......No No No No.......LEGENDARY!!!!
No words people no words!!! I'm awestruck!!! The trip log and pics.....both were superb!! Believe me......the sunset pics almost got a tear out of my eye!!!!

thtz a nice trip...splendid pics guys,,loved to de full...

Awesome stuff there guys!!! This one's grand!! the rides look beautiful!!

Thank you. I use to ride out but that was all alone, never with a group. this was the first interstate ride I did with fellow bikers. I use to do trips on 4 wheels, 2 wheels was something I had in mind but family restrictions. Only after I started working, I bought a bike n then touring started, and its going on and on..

I was expecting a reply from you on this point (speedruns) for sure but I did not mention your name coz I'll anyways not be able to catch you no matter what, so I'd rather stay away from going on speedruns with you. maybe after I get a ltr class, I'll go for speed runs with you That is when I'll be able to catchup with you

you spoke ma mind ram

Love this pic

Details on how you took it please .... Your post processing is simply superb kiran

This is a paning technique in motion Jacob....
When sitting as pillion I clicked the pic at 1/20 shutter speed....
This type of pic needs a lot of hit and trails

I did do post processing for the pics but made sure it's done just to reflect what we saw originally!
