          Bring on the pics Akshay; Konkan always stayed curious to me as I know from hearsay its excellent scenic, but, I don't know how scenic; is it the same as what's on my mind? I don't know. Pls show us some.

            Thanks guys and believe me a great ride it was! I can certainly recommend this trip, though if you skipped Velneshwar you wouldn't be worse off. Instead do not miss the Kelshi & Velas beaches.

            Will post the rest as soon as I can.

                  Akshay - Just a suggestion, would be glad if you consider. Post the pics in websites like Photobucket or Google (they're quite safe & you can make it available only for private viewing) & just post the links here within [IMG][/IMG] tag.

                  That way the pics are inline with writing & the T'Log looks excellent.

                    Hey aargee - thanks for your suggestion. I'm a real noob when it comes to anything tech - still old school I guess. I was always wondering how other people managed to post their pictures alongwith the writing bit. Let me try, though I cant promise if it will work this time.

                      Worst case, create an album here in xBhp & upload all the pics. Every pic will have an URL & enclose those URL's within the [IMG] tag like this...

                          The overall road condition (Pune - Velneshwar - Dapoli - Pune) was good. I would say 75% good 25% bad. If you are doing Velneshwar to Dapoli run and avoid the mistake which we made by skipping the coast road via the beaches of Kelshi & Velas to Bankot, then your good roads would be 90% good. If you skip Velneshwar altogether, then it only leaves around 5 Km of the Tamhini ghat which is in bad condition. Hope this helps!

                          I hope your trip materializes soon so that you can take advantage of what little cool weather is left.

                            Great pics Akshay!
                            Kokan never ceases to mesmerise... no matter how many times you visit.
                            Reminds me of a trip (though not on a bike) made long back to Guhagar and surrounding areas.
                            Its Nostalgic ....

                              Thanks Nagesh. This was the first time I have ridden via the coast and it was an unforgettable experience which I would love to repeat in the future.

                              I will update the remaining pictures for day 4 and 5 as soon as possible. Enjoy!
