  • Pune to bhopal- my rush-sooth ride

    Hey guys,

    I just completed my first long tour on my New CBR 150. This is how it gone....
    From 10th of march when i bought my CBR, i m thinking to go for long tour. At that i have told my mum about this but she opposed me. Even my friend oppose for this tour. But i want to know if i m suitable for touring or not.

    Xbhpians helped me and they are always there for me. I consulted with Abhinav, Apratim about route and accesories that are needed during ride.
    After first servicing of bike, i asked mechanic that is this bike can go upto 800 km and he says " bhagao...koi dikkat nahi aayegi". I felt awesome but still there are some concerns about route. So i search for the best route and the shortest route.
    Finally decided to go through Pune-sangamner-kopargaon-manmad-dhule-sendhwa-indore-Bhopal. So applied for the leave in company 3rd april for 7 days. On 4th april, i have gone through market and bought Saddle bag(Cramster) and Rider jacket( aspida)[thanks to Apratim for moto 101 shop] and gloves (pro biker).
    Packed the bag at night on 4th of april. Next day at sharp 4 am, started the mini beast and started ride but there is still dark, so CBR says ' go with your will...i m always there for u'. After one hour, i have checked my average which is 72kmph. At 6 am, i ve managed to cross sangamner. I checked map and found that i m on right way...after took turn for kopargaon and sun is just rising in front of me. I said " om suryay namah" and continue my ride with soothing sun. At 11:30 am, i m on dhule and in front of M.P. Border on the dhule palasner toll....after that i m on agra-mumbai highway and again Mini beast roared to me that " hey buddy, i have high rev engine, cmon..". I said ok and then i m flying with the speed of 120 kmph.
    At 1:30 pm, i m at indore and at 4:30 pm, i m in front of my house surprising everyone with the bike visit.

    most important thing during ride is i have continuosly drive for 500 km and then take hault for 15 minutes. Thats why i completed my journey of 760 km in just 12 hours.
    at last thanks to all xbhpians for there full support.

    Rgds,
    kundan

                  Congratulations Kundan on your first 700+ Km ride on the CBR. Now since you know that 700-800Km can be done in 12 hours, going forward, try to take breaks after every 100/150 Km or 1 hour for 5-10 minutes, have water, stretch your body and legs, clean the visor, make some calls etc. You will see that 700 Km will be done in 13 or 14 hours but your body and bike will be in good health.

                  Continuously riding for 500 km is not advisable at all !!!

                  Last year, on the Mumbai- Bhopal route, I left Mumbai at 6 in the morning and reached Bhopal at 6 in the evening. I took breakfast breaks, numerous Water+ susu breaks, lunch breaks and still managed to cover 762 Km in 12 hours. This strategy is necessary if you are planning to ride continuously 700-800 Km for 2-3 days.


                  Cheers,
                  Apratim.

                  1. Ninja in the parking @ 6 am.



                  2. Around 149 Km from Indore @ 12.15 PM


                  3 & 4. Reached Bhopal at 5.45 PM.

                    Wow! 5 Hours without a break is some serious hardship! As mentioned above for reasons also listed above, this isn't advisable for additional reasons like concentration levels which tend to slip after a couple of hours on the bike. Glad you made it safe and hope you can chalk this ride up to a one-off experience.

                      Thanks apratim for your immense help. When i starts at 4 in morning, i want to ride as far as i can. So when i reached sangamner, i just between the road and followed the road to sinnar but just 10 kms ahead, i found kopargaon road and asked some locals,they confirmed it and then choose that path. Even i m amaze, why i didnt stop for toilet upto agra mumbai highway. When i m in crossing dhule, i have seen sign board saying indore 153 Kms. I just want to reach indore as soon as possible. But when i reached indore, again said to myself, i will stop at Highway treat Dodi. So that why its my first stop. From next time onward, i will take care what you are saying.
                      Also, you have a beast in front of my mini beast. So there is no comparison.
