  • [Photo Feature]: Gopalswamy Bella Temple ... Solo

    Hey everyone !!!
    First time here i am sharing my experience of a solo ride on my enfield 350.<br>
    A night before the ride i thought of this just before sleeping, i had a day off and I thought why not ride tomorrow morning searched for couple of places around Bangalore on the net which can be covered within a day time and found one interesting place called "Gopalaswamy Bella Temple," it is at a distance of approx 250 Kms from bangalore. I think pictures will say it all....

    My route was simple, Bangalore - mysore - gopalaswamy templ

                  awesome pics mate.
                  nad the face mask is really suiting you.
                  regarding the hard seat(ouch), you can check out gel based seat covers, they are really helpful

                          Very nice pics and good trip too. Why don't I think of something like this when I'm sleeping my a$$ off on Sundays! Oh! We have mostly level places and straight roads around here, though there is quite a long stretch of coastal lines. But one gets bored of seeing the same places again and again, right? Should look into the possibilities of going far away places then.
