1712.5 Kms. That's what the trip meter reads as yet another journey comes to an end. For almost a year I was away from touring.. reasons being family responsibilities, office leaves and what not. So much that people actually started asking have I quit biking for good?! 
But it was about time I break the shackles and be on a good long ride. Goa, being my native place, is visited atleast twice a year be it by bike, car or bus but I didn't get a chance to go there for almost two years. Last time I had been to Goa was in Jan 2011 - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/1...karnataka.html
So Goa was the first name that popped up in my mind when I had 7 days to ride in my hand. I shared my plan with fellow xBhpian and very good friend of mine, Lalit and he was eager to join in too. We had few other names in mind too like Hampi, Dandeli, Jog Falls, Couple of Wildlife sanctuaries. But unfortunately our office leaves couldn't be adjusted and i had ride to do it as a solo ride.
Solo rides have their own benefits - plans remain flexible and any last minute changes can be done without much difficulty, So I started off from home with lots of options and ride plans in my mind but ended up spending the entire week in Goa itself. Can't help it, the place is so beautiful that you hardly feel like going anywhere else.
There won't be a detailed log this time and will keep it more like a photo feature and video logs. I have recorded tonnes of content using my Sony camera and the GoPro.
I'll update the thread as and when I get free time.
Thank you!
