@vivek: its the ZMA's home country. The bikes performed flawlessly. The first half of the journey got a not so good FE of 29 kmpl or so until the guy @ the HMC service center made his magic work on my ZMA , then i got very good FE of 45kmpl
the ZMR gave a consistent FE of 45 kmplthoughout. No questions can raised about the handling and comfort, it was bang on

Thanks ArunOriginally posted by aarunn View PostNice pics and log
there is nothing like no roads anywhere, its just if you are willingly wanna go off roading, then you can stretch the leg, apart from that the rest of the route is very much "rideable" if not "driveable"Originally posted by aargee View PostI took Chitradurga-Bhadravathy-Thirthahalli & some roadless roads to Kollur; was so sick of that!!!

we did most of the stretch except for chitradurga to bhadravathi in the last ride, it was supergood

^^^ Ok, so which means you guys didn't take Thirthahalli-Kollur + Chitradurga-Bhadravathi. That's one hell, not even bikes will take it; imagine riding/driving at 20-30 Kmph for over 200 Kms with few Kms of good stretches in between.
My timings were something like...Chennai - Chitradurga in 6:30 hours & the remaining 8 hours spent to travel only from Chitradurga to Kollur!!! Check the map if possible, you'll almost not find any roads from Thirthahalli to Kollur!!!
I was interested to see if they've laid the road from Chitradurga-Bhadravathy-Thirthahalli.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Chitradurga to bhadravathi , not very sure,but we took thirthalli - Nittur(not very far from -kollur) in the night on two wheels. Bhadravathi-Shimoga=good roads. From shimoga you can take the sagar-hosanagara route beautiful roads except for few kilometers around sagar.and yeah you dont find most roads on the electronic mapsOriginally posted by aargee View Post moreover it was not as worst as permanently damaging the suspension in the recent years, unless you have mistook a turn

Although Bhadravathi-chitradurga route is ok( not too good but not bad either)
But the Bhadravathi-Shimoga-Thirthahalli route is awesome.

Its in a way good that these places are not as commercialized as in KL.The true beauty of the place still exists, and yeah thankfully even the mining stopped
