  • A weekend well spent on rode than sleeping :)

    Back from a ride to Mangalore. Started from Bangalore at 2115 hours on Friday and reached Mangalore at 0230 hours, went to temple and attended the karaseve at the mutt construction, pooja and then after receiving the prasada rode to Suntikoppa to my place where appa is staying. Started from Mangalore at 2015 hours and reached Suntikoppa at little past 0100 hours, Reached home very tired ( Sleepless since Thursday) and to my utter :shock: there was very little fuel in the car . Managed to drive to Suntikoppa, wake up the petrol bunk person and request him to fuel. Had to listen so much from that guy in the middle of night but it was inevitable for the mistake of not refueling the car before i parked it in the month beginning.

    Asked dad to get ready and drove to Subramnya to attend my cousin's engagement, spent whole day at aunt's place, drove back to Suntikoppa to drop the car and dad, Picked my thunderbird and rode to bangalore reaching here at 0100 hours this morning. It was terrible riding experience from Mysore to Bangalore. You wont beleive if i tell that i had to ride off the road from Maddur till Kengeri and the traffic was so pathetic with average moving speed of around 30-40kmph. Beat the traffic and i ended up riding on mudroad

    The forest guard at Gundya Check post. Everytime i make a point to stop and talk to him irrespective of the time i be there. Few years back he was my savior by offering me a place to sleep( at his shed) when i was riding from Bangalore and was having series of flat tyres amidst heavy pouring rain! How can i repay his debt? A humble down to earth person

      Thank you for a quick approval. I'm sorry these are the only pics I've clicked. Most of the time was spent riding and driving only.

        I understand bro. I rode 7000 kms over 20 days to Kanyakumari and I took 8 photos

        I know how irritating it is to stop and click!

          AAH ! So Ram rides again Nice to see a log from you ! Do be extra careful while riding at night, especially on the ghats.

          Take Care & Ride Safe

            Thank you so much Ridermax sir Will surely keep your words in mind and i am used for night riding a lot. I enjoy it to the max when compared to the day ride. I understand i am prone for more risk but somehow i find it more comfortable to ride during nights than day.

              Nice bread-and-butter Bangalore-mangalore log. I mean its bread-and-butter route for you. I think you must have done it for atleast 150 times. By the way, when are we meeting Boss?

              Are you in for KTMC anniversary??
