    That bridge is not that scary they build it every year.. infact ppl have fallen down from that bridge a few times but that time the bridge was made of the supari tree steam. now its bamboo...

    so, as long as you are not making a 2 ton bike cross a bridge that has a load limit of 200kgs, the ground rule is ...shut off the engine and gradually drag the bike along. it works!!!
    If someone will volunteer to get a super bike lets see if the bike crosses the bridge ..

                    the scientific theory behind that is the phenomenon of resonance....we should make sure that the frequency of vibrations of the bike engine should not match the natural frequency of the bridge, if it does,the bridge will fall apart....
                    army personnel would know this because marching soldiers are ordered to break their march instead of breaking the bridge with their synchronous march...sorry to revive the thread but felt like explaining...

                    yes u can cross even with an sbk ....the bridge can take the weight sans vibrations..

                          @Navnish - That was real fun in terms of adventure. Enjoyed reading, pics are all good with forest & greenery in background.
                          That would have asked for lot of guts to carry out solo & Kudos to you for doing it !! Keep it up & keep riding.......

                          Enjoyable throughout !!

                            Yeah the R15 crossed that bridge ...



                            Is this your version of adventure sport?

                                My friend has a house there. And its not a resort or a tourist place . The house in middle of the forest and its guarded with rangers . you cant just go in and roam around.I might visit the place again after rains . will let you know you can join in.
