  • Journey to Seduce the Queen : Chennai to KodaiKanal Solo Ride [1200 Kms][1 Soul]

    Here for Munnar,But I couldnt able to make the ride due to various problems. After a 6 Month Gap i decided to ride within TamilNadu.First,Have to Convince Mom :P There was the talk in the family to go to the Palani Temple and Do the rituals there :P Dang there was a Bulb Going on inside my Head :P why not use this to execute my Master Plan.


    Me : Mom,i am thinking of going to Palani after My exams.
    Mom: Good,Now shall i arrange you the car since others cannot come during that time?.
    Me: mmm(Sad Face) No
    Mom:How will you go there?by Bus?
    Me: By Bike !!!!!!!!!!
    Mom:WHat? you are going to ride 1000+ Kms Alone? Remember you are Just 19 Years old.
    Me:Yes i can do it ? Please Please allow me??
    Mom:Yes,But any problems you only have to take care.
    Me: No issues, i will do it fine.
    Mom:Good then Enjoy?


    *big face* Yes YEs Yes :P


    The Exams End.I visited the Motul Dealer Bought a Motul 5100 and changed the Oil and did a big service.Packed my Bags Booked my hotel (snooze inn).The Day finally Came.(28/06/2014)


    Day 1 : Route i am going to take is Chennai- ulundurpet - Trichy - Dindukal- kodai.


    Started by 5 AM Tied my Rope and when i rode for next 5 Kms the rope tore off ? "what a awesome start". Stopped around found out that Spicejet package guys were there so i got some help from them tied my baggage. Started Riding the air started to flow through the helmet the ride begins peacefully.The first Stop is at melmaruvathur where i had a hot cofee to keep the trip going :P. The forenight i didnt get a good sleep so this one kept me up all day.Around 7.30 Am reached Ulundurpet had breakfast in "vasanth Bhavan" . When i looked up in the sky it was dark,Seems it has rained last night wore my rain gear but for the sake of weather it started shining like summer :| stopped again wore the jackets then went on. Around 11.30 am reached "trichy" tank was nearing its emptyness.Man !!! CHIEF minister "AMMA" visit on 30/06/2014 the entire trichy is diverted had to run 5 kms extra for a Bunk filled up thought of taking a turn to dindukal but rode till madurai then took a bypass to dindukal ate lunch in a good hotel there.There goes time to Seduce the Queen.It took 2 hrs to climb "Kodai" Due to Bad Road Patches.Reached Hotel Around 3.30 Pm


    Dang,It started Raining what a sensational climate to see rode off to all the good places till 9 pm it was damn cold and my back pain started to increase due to bad roads. Slept off that time


    Day 2 : Woke Up at 5 AM did all the stuffs checked out from the Hotel "Snooze Inn" Took the Hills bypass to Palani Hills the Road Patches were Bad but then just for 20 Kms then it was Heaven for Bikers.Reached Palani Around 8.30 Went to the Temple did all the rituals Had Lunch there . Started my Journey at 12 pm Rode off in Full Speed of 100 Kmph My Stupid Pro Biker Gloves Tore off during the mid Run had to ride without Glove from trichy to Chennai which is 325 Kms. During the Ride i found out that i was having "CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME" which makes lose of Power in my Right Hand fingers Due to Vibration Produced by Bike at High Speeds When reached Gudvancherry it started raining like hell rode it in that rain till Home Reached Around 8 pm.

              Even if it's around 90 kmph., the FE is fair enough.

                      Nice Ride I wanted to do Kodaikanal before I left from Chennai but instead I did Ooty.. The highways are simply too good any 150 - 220 cc bikes will feel under powered.. I did Chennai to Mettupalayam and back completing almost 1300 kms on a Hunk.. the bike after 90s felt strained..

                      Like someone mentioned, more narration would have been fun to read.. Keep riding safe and I guess you stay somewhere from Alandur to Tambaram
