The roads are wide and in very good condition. There is no frequent need for gear shift and stuff..Originally posted by aargee View Post

aargee... i am planning to ride to Chennai probably on December fro Trivandrum. I was thinking of the ECR route. Do you have any idea about the road condition there and the surrounding?Originally posted by aargee View PostYou mean, the roads are fixed from Thrissur-Palakkad?
Also, what's the road conditions from Kollam-Karunagapally-Alapuzha-Sherthala?
Or can you suggest any other route...

@aargee.,, I think he meant the road condition from Ernakulam to Thrissur(not towards Palakkad)..And he took a left from Mannuthy to enter Thrissur town I guess and continued on NH17 ..(i'm guessing)..Originally posted by aargee View PostYou mean, the roads are fixed from Thrissur-Palakkad?

The NH47 stretch from Thrissur to Palakkad(towards Cbe) is still in the same shape you would've guessed it to be aargee(Pretty bad!
).
It's just like avk84 described it to be till Mannuthy. You just have to hold on to your accelerator and do nothing
. But after that, it's pot-hole territory till Vadakkenchery.

Thanks Satyen....Originally posted by satyenpoojary View PostNice trip there..

I have a couple of pics of the road... will upload it soon... The Kozhikode-Kannur Stretch is manageable during day time. But it's very difficult to ride in night. Also some patch works were going on there.. hope they will at least fill the big pot holes...
As far as Kannur-Kasargod is concerned... the roads are not wide... but other than some bad patches here and there, the road is good

Yep... you are right. The heat is manageable though if we are in move... but the rash driving by private buses (They actually ride like bikes, entering into the slightest of gap in a traffic!!!Originally posted by beruoist View PostIts not only about the road,Its the traffic added with heat, which is a real pain.

) is the main trouble in this road... That coupled with bad roads!!!! well you can imagine

If you are lucky enough then the roads will be good by then.By good I didn't meant anywhere near the NH's running outside KeralaOriginally posted by Naughty VaIsH View Postnice photographs bro , well i am planning to ride to Cochin - Mangalore by Jan or Dec.. i read the roads are pretty bad from your tread ? how bad is it ? will that road do any cracking on your back

May be the enfield's and the riding posture helped. I didn't have any sort of body pain during or after the trip. And I did wear a Lumbo Sacral Belt for lower back support.

DAY 2Fishing!!!



Finally I got up by 10.00 am and both I and midhun went to take a walk on the pavement.Smijith was still sleeping and we had to lock him up
.
Guest House

Aerial view

Splashing wavesWe tried to capture some with the camera, but still picture has its limitation.

















I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunset. I could literally see the sun disappearing into nowhere.




We saw a marriage album shooting. It was like a music album and was fun to watch with husband running in slow motion to the wife and then running back.
Some more pictures



The Moon is up



There is a temple of on the entrance of fort.

It was getting late and the fort timing was over. But we were in no mood to leave this place and given a chance

Mine is a medical one... I got it from a friend of mine who had back problem. It's not for protection against a fall, but will provide reasonable lower back protection. You can get a similar one from any medical stores, and it will cost you less than 750Rs, I believeOriginally posted by Naughty VaIsH View Postwell i dun have a back pad .. i need that very badly .. which one do you use and what is the cost ? yeah i hope so .. i am thinking of taking the NH only
