So its 800 Kms from Vellore is it? Its precise 755 Kms from my home to PRS Hospital Killipaalam. The winds are really treacherous & no wonder there're 1000s of windmills deployed to generate electricity.

Surprised!!! Really surprised Lijo!!!Originally posted by lijok View PostAlso, can you give me details of the BP outlet near madurai that you mentioned, as in how to locate it? I've had trouble getting good fuel on that route...
Its on to your left side when you come from Madurai towards Trichy in the bye-pass. Its actually Ghar Dhaba & can find an outlet of A2B. It was a huge attention during 2007 when the roads were being constructed. There's huge hoarding that you can never miss.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Nice 'instant' ride with a crisp blog
. Thanks for sharing. How was your butt after 800kms?
As for the crosswinds along the wind mill farms, OMG, on my south india trip, I was riding at a crazy tilt angle for some good distance & controlling the big BMW with me, pillion, luggage etc all close to 450kgs needed some real effort.

You should drop by the TVM offline thread and introduce yourself... we have quite an active community here...
Also, can you give me details of the BP outlet near madurai that you mentioned, as in how to locate it? I've had trouble getting good fuel on that route...
