4 Bikes 800+ kilometers 3 days - A Circuit Road Trip
Date: 3rd, 4th and 5th March 2011
Trip track : Krishnagiri - Mysore – Ooty – Coimbatore - Krishnagiri
Riders:
Dr. Nandha Kumar – Royal Enfield Thunderbird
Sathish Kumar – Yamaha FZ
Praveen kumar – Honda Unicorn
Thulashi dharan – Yamaha R15 2.0
It is all started three months ago to plan for a ride to cover around 1000 kms. Me and Sathish have decided to make it as Circuit trip hence the trip route starts from Krishnagiri – Mysore – Ooty – Coimbatore – Krishnagiri.
Since it was a first planned long trip I couldn’t sleep the last night because of excitement.
Day 1: I was getting rush to be at the spot but little late. Exactly as planned at 6 am, Dr. Sir called to inform that he arrived at the Meeting spot.
Learning: “Have to be more punctual and felt shame” were Dr. Sir at the age of 74 made it as Simple.
Kamesh (Harley Davidson) and Ashwin (TVS Apache) friend of Dr. Sir came along with us to have breakfast at Sulagiri McDonald and went back to Krishnagiri after conveying their wishes to our trip.
350 kms from Krishnagiri to reach Ooty via Mysore road, after crossing couple of tollgates at Mysore road we had an unfortunate situation with Thunderbird.
Problem: Oil was not pumped to the piston.
Solution: Unknown at that momentJ.
Decided to park the bike at the nearest petrol bunk and Dr. Sir called his friend Noor (mechanic) to take care of his bike. Handed over the thunderbird key to Petrol bunk manager and shared the phone numbers for further communications. Why?????
Because no one had one percent of second thought to cancel the trip
Decided to shuffle the bikes accordingly from then,
Dr. Nandha kumar – Yamaha FZ
Thulashidharan – Yamaha R15 2.0
Sathish Kumar – Honda Unicorn, Praveen kumar as Pillion rider.
Learning: “Thought we had some tough time it was a great experience to manage the unexpected situations especially at the unfamiliar place”
On the way to Ooty via Mudumalai it was a pleasant experience with hairpin bends. Reached Ooty around 7 pm, boarded a lodge, had dinner &coffee, had a wide talk about bikes, trip experience and next day plan to wander around.
