Topic Approved.
Wonderful stuff.

Nice trip log and lovely pics. Seems like it is a "Bullet" ride. For the first time I am seeing an RD on xbhp (to my knowledge), touring serious distance.
Pardon my ignorance, where is this "Kollimalai". I am listening this destination for the first time, that too with 70 hairpin bends.
The Tourer thread is flooding. Almost 15 threads in the last month.

This is NEVER going to happen, for I wish I could get a point and shoot of my trouser pocket. No SLR would ever fit in your pocket unless you are size 50+ or something.Wish i had a SLR that could be pulled out from my trouser pocket
Dhanushkodi must have been awesome, did you go to the abandoned school and church at the tip? It was surreal when I visited it.Join xBhp On

Yes. I too feel that this is the first time the RD clocked a 1400 Km trip without a screwdriver being brought out. It was rock stable in terms of reliability.
I am still trying to figure out how would i take so many photoes on the move in case i have a DSLR
The pocket point and shoot does not do justice in specially lit situations... foggy morning, evening landscapes, forests with a lot of foilage etc...Comment

Cheers guys... that's a trip to remember. If you want me to pick up the best part of the trip... or may be the best part among the many trips you'd have done earlier and would do later... it is the comments from the person in Rameshwaram -
"there is nothing you can offer me that i dont have"
This sounds to me as the most concise form of Bhagavadgeeta.
Kudos to him... He has shown you India a few centuries old. Lucky you

Of course I do not have DSLR, but have Powershot S2IS considerably closer to a DSLR in size. What I recently started doing is, haning the camera around the neck even while riding.Originally posted by no_nonsense4857 View PostYes.

Awesome ride guys. Never thought there could be such beautiful places in the dry part. Awesome pictures. Reg ZMA looks cool on the green back drop
btw you guys could have rode all way on the bikes instead of the jeeps. We went till the Navy check post, and had to walk only the last 1km. Since we went on bike could stay there for almost half a day!

Wow! Nice ride. The revving part between RD and Zma was pretty "edge-of-the-seat"!
Lots of rides happening these days. And almost all of them in the South!The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

When it comes to pictures i really miss my Black Pulsar 180. It was really photogenicOriginally posted by praveenkm View PostAwesome ride guys. Never thought there could be such beautiful places in the dry part. Awesome pictures. Reg ZMA looks cool on the green back drop
btw you guys could have rode all way on the bikes instead of the jeeps. We went till the Navy check post, and had to walk only the last 1km. Since we went on bike could stay there for almost half a day! The zma is a mixed bag .... still finding it hard to frame a photo.
I wish every body thought like me.... i did bring the idea on the table... to ride the bike all the way down. No body heard it though
I just could not do justice to that part of the log. I still get goosebumps when i recollect how i almost fell off a down ward hair pin bend... if it would have happened, i would have fallen on the RD350 beneath! I was engine braking going down to the first gear but the gear chaning meant i loose sight of Guru. So, i decided to break down only to the second gear and make up for the extra speed by applying the front brake.Originally posted by ken cool View Post
