@manubhat: Nice ride man.. Initial pics are awesome.. waiting for the full log..

Hi Manu,

Congrats on completing your First road trip.

I was in same situation like you when I wanted to do my first trip to Kundapur on my bike. But then, one positive response from my friend kept me going.
The Happiness in getting ready for the first trip, the Smile on your face once you hit the Highways for the first time and the Feel after completing trip successfully are just priceless.

Waiting for the pics.

Wish you all the best for your future trips.

Hi manu
Nice that even after lot of critic you did it. Even I was planning a trip from Mumbai to Mangalore Solo ride. Since I shared my idea no none of my friends supported me. They started mocking at me to the fullest extent. Finally I postponded the plan.
"My Humble request to Bikers is never share the idea of Biking or Sadle shore with non Bikers". They don't enjoy any thing never let you to enjoy.

Thanks ksatish..triplog is on its way

Thanks mate.. It sure is a priceless feeling...

Don't worry vivek,iam sure you will complete your trip succesfully
Just listen to your heart and hit the roads when you are ready

here is another pic from my cam..

30th december 2010-7pm:

I call up my friend and we decide to meet up at our usual adda.
we meet up in 10 minutes and start discussing about the next day's ride.
we planed to leave by 4am the next day.After a cuppa of coffee,we tank up for 500rs,checked air pressure and left to our houses.

Its already 11pm,but am still online and not able to sleep.
5 hours remain for the ride,i try to sleep but couldnt sleep because of the excitment.

31st december 2010-4am:

With a ring of the alarm i wake up and get ready.Offer my prayers to god for a safe journey.
call up my friend,but no response from him.He finally recieves my call and informs me that he'll be late by one hour.
I take out my bike and the engine comes to life with just one kick.warmed up the engine for 2minutes and left my place.
We meet up at 5am and start our journey on k.r.puram bridge.





Maintaining constant speeds of 60-70kmph we hit the ring road and reached tumkur road.
It was freezing cold so we had to be well packed with warm clothes.
The newly built express way on tumkur road invited us with butter smooth roads..
slight twist of the trottle and we are at 100kmph in no time.
The roads are so good that i realised i was cruising at 100kmph only when i looked at the speedo.
After crosing all the toll gates,we took our first butt break.I looked at my watch and time was 7.15am.
Then entered the bye pass which goes towards shimoga.



Another 60kms on the odo and here we are munching our first meal of the day.
It was the time to fill our empty stomach with some Steaming hot idli's.
Time was 9.30am.
Then we hit the roads and stopped immediately after 10kms.Oops something was wrong.............................to be continued

Keep the logs coming Manu. I love this part of Karnataka!

Biru

Thanks biru bhai.. The river part is after sagar..
If you want to go to honnavar from sagar,you need to cross ghats. There is view point inbetween the ghats where you can find this river.
