This is the first time my Activa did,a one way 100kms 
Around 260kms done in one day Happy Happy owner of Activa. Being waiting for this moment for a long time.
On a cloudy Monday morning,staring outside the window,my mind took me through the images of Hogenakkal falls."I need to go there once",is all that I said to myself.Picking up the phone to see any late night missed calls or messages,I see that my close friend Ditty had called.Last time having met her only for an hour or so when she arrived at Bangalore,we decided this time we'd get our proper leaves and hang out for some more time.
When I called her back,we fixed on the dates and this time she told me,"Lets go somewhere".Having known her,I knew exactly what she meant,with a big board smile on my face,I suggested Hogenakkal falls.Having told her its some 100kms away,she jumped right in for this idea and that fixed our location for our one day ride.Now all that Ditty,Edwin and I had to do was wait for the 12th of July.
Hats of to Ditty's spirit of traveling,after having traveled in bus for 16 hrs,she was all excited for the ride the same day.We meet up at 11am had breakfast.It was almost 12 by the time we started.No one was complaining about the weather even though we started by noon,because Bangalore is back to her original weather,cool and cloudy.
Two bikes to take us to our destination.
Edwin:Pulsar 200NS
Shruthi(me): Activa
The route we took was Bangalore->Hosur->Denkanikottai->Anchetty->Hogenakkal falls
The best part of the route is from Denkanikottai->Anchetty.Scenic route.
We totally enjoyed the ride to the falls with few stops here and there.When your riding through roads like this,you have do it once for the love of riding through this place and the second time to capture as many photos as you want to share with the rest of the world to show how beautiful the route is,or try to do both in one ride by taking a video.
Till Denkanikottai,we faced crosswinds and that slowed down our ride tremendously,sometimes I just had to stop or ride at 15-20km/hr,now you can imagine.In this ride I was expecting maybe a bike breakdown worst case,but you never know until you ride.I have never experienced such strong crosswinds before,another riding skill added to my biking adventure.
I was a scared about how my bike would perform,after the service guys had scared me saying that the bike is of no good,just to get another customer to buy their new bike.I agree the bike is old and might have some issues,but since they couldn't fix a particular problem with the bike,they termed the bike as totally scrap. I took it to myself to know how bad is what they term as "no good".You'll know by the end of this story.
