Lepakshi never gets old for riders and it will never be

. Glad to see a bunch of dedicated and responsible female riders on their mean machines to Lepakshi. Pictures are awesome and so is the narration. Short, crisp and to the point. A big thumbs up as well as helmet's off from my side for this t-log and I hope you keep on munching more and more miles and put more t-logs up here. Cheers and Ride safe

Thank you

By the time we were out of the temple,all we wanted was foodddd....Headed back towards the highway.Just
before you take left from the highway to head towards the temple,you'll find an Andhra tourism hotel.All of us
totally chilled out,had Andhra style meals,yum! For some reason,felt like as if we were on the road for two days.
Everyone was so settled there,that none of us wanted to go home.Finally around 4pm after the short photo
shoot and a small stunt show by Divya Murthy on her Bullet,we were back on the highway.

Next stop was Kamat. The ride back was more like a solo ride.The day coming to an end with the sun setting
on my right.I still couldn't believe even at that time,that I was actually riding a Yamaha R15 on a highway.The look
on Divya Shashidar's face seeing me reach second right after her,was priceless After all I had to do some justice
to the bike. After everyone had arrived,we started again,to the last stop of the day,Esteem Mall.A little bit of night
riding on a highway added to my riding experience:P Finally, around 8:20 pm,we reached.The last 30 kms being the
worst,my hands went for a toss.Seeing bikes parked in a row right in front of the mall,the cops approached the bikes,
but when they realized it belonged to girls,with a board smile let us park our bikes there and also tried to start a
conversation So with final Good byes and hugs we parted also with a hangover that lasted over a week.If this is the
case for a one day ride,I wonder how would it be for a weekend ride

Re: Ride to Lepakshi with Hop on Gurls

lol..nice end to the interesting day! by the way what exactly was the stunt show by Divya Murthy on her bullet? just eager to know..

you guys should totally try going out on a weekend ride, maybe Chikmagalur/Sakaleshpura! again, really happy to see such efficient riders out there with their steeds

The bike is not starting.And I am caught speaking to the bike,"Baby don't do this to me,just start."
Alrite,Help! The bike's not starting.Someone asking,"Does it have a kick start?" Nope was my
answer! A friend of mine immediately called her brother-in-law to find a solution.Battery's problem,put it in 2nd gear and push to start.
Well,I decided to put a word to the owner of the bike,as he know his bike best.

Conversation as I best recollect it.
Me: Nagoo,eh! the bike's not starting.Nothing's coming up on the monitor.
Nagoo: Probably its the battery.
Me: Ok,if I just start it some how,then it should be ok rite?
Nagoo: No,the battery's the important part.Everything works based on that.
Me: (in my mind) How convenient!!!
Me: Now what do I do?
Nagoo: put it in neutral and push it and put it in 1st gear.
Me: Ok. will call you after that.

Another call.
Me: still facing the same problem.
Nagoo: The battery's gone or the rectifier and blah blah blah...
Me: (in my mind) In English please....
Me: so what do I need to do,I don't want to leave the bike here.
Nagoo: Start the bike,put it in idle for 5mins.If it stops off before that,then the battery gone or
otherwise it's just the rectifier.
Me: ok.

Kudos to all riders ...

Please check the condition of bikes before a long ride ... Inspect ,

* Engine oil level and quality
* Condition of oil filter and air filter
* Battery voltage
* Tire pressure and tread
* Ensure all gauges and switches are working properly
* Brake fluid level and coolant level ( bike like R15 which is having liquid cooling system)
* Head Lamp ( High & Low beam), brake lamp, turn signals
* Slackness of drive chain and lubricate if required
* Spare fuses
* Any abnormal sound or vibration from engine and other parts.

Its better to do a complete service before the ride.

Unfortunately,we forgot to take a video,because I couldn't believe a girl treating a bullet like a cycle. I am not sure what are the names for those stunts.One was standing on the bike and riding and the other one was,the person being completing on one side of the bike and riding. Not sure if you can get a clear picture.
And thanks for the suggestion for a long ride.Chikmagalur/Sakaleshpura seems like a nice place for a ride.

Wow!! Helmets off Ladies!!

Way to go!!
