Re: Winter Ride First long solo Road trip.

Thanks for the thread approval

It all started when GM announced Shut down for Christmas. Without thinking i knew it this is it.Perfect chance for a long awaited solo road trip. Initially i planned on riding with my brother but he had exams so it had to be solo(Best decision).

I prepared all the necessary things like Bike service,getting saddle bags,learning how to change clutch cables, spark plug,fuse etc.

Just a day before my start, met a colleague who was going to Hubli for vacation. Convinced him to cancel his tickets and travel with me til Hubli so i can get some company on boring highways.

So we decided and left Vijayanagar at 4.15am 20th December.Reached tumkur in a hour i guess it was very cold and dark but good roads.Took the first loo stop.





Then we continued till Chitradurga, where we planned to visit the mata for breakfast(that guy loves prasadam). But i wasn't sure of leaving the saddle bags on bike in such a tourist place on first day of journey.So we took some snaps near the lake and continued on NH4.





Finally reached Hubli at 11am.His mom made some nice breakfast and i rested a while and i had to get to a petrol pump with credit cards (low on cash).Got it luckily.
So i left Hubli at 12.30pm to Gokarna via Yellapur ankola route. It was very beautiful and good quality road with lots of corner.I enjoyed the ride till Gokarna with speed maintaining around 80+ throughout.





I finally reached Gokarna at 3.30Pm . Looked around for a beach hut where i can park and stay for a night. Found a place for 250rs which is 50-ft from the beach
Went to the beach and enjoyed the nice cool evening swimming,walking,sleeping on the beach.




So after a eventful long day I had some drinks and dinner and slept off on the beach on my Lungi. Suddenly in the middle of the night i woke up and was running like a dog,took me a while to realize that water level has increased and i am completely wet. It was so frustrating because i was happily sleeping. Anyway i took bath and removed all the sand and changed.

Felt so bad so went to the beach and that is when i saw the sky to see this.




So finally am done with first day and went back to sleep in my hut.

To be continued.....

Some more pics from Goa..where i spent the next three days wandering with no plans just like i planned :P

Re: Winter Ride First long solo Road trip.

From Goa to Pune via Amboli ghats, first time after many days witnessed very bad roads. It was so bad all the way till i joined NH4 at sankeshwar.But Amboli ghat views were worth it.
Enjoyed christmas in Pune and left to Mumbai.Again beautiful roads till Powai.
