      So the thread is finally up on xBhp. I had been in touch with Praveen since he was on his way to Vizag, had an awesome time with him when he chose to stay a couple of days in Bhubaneswar. When two riders meet, there is no end to the lengthy talks that flow by. Man, the ZMA looks like a rickshaw, but handles amazingly well for all the added bulk due to the panniers.

      Best of luck on your trip ahead buddy. Would have taken the trip upto Sikkim if it had been delayed by a month.

            Way to go Praveen!

            Missed meeting you in Kolkata. The road to Bhubneshwar was just as you'd said including the 60 odd kms 'switch-lanes' beyond Balasore. thanks.

            Wishing you the best for your coming days on the road. Ride long and safe...

                      Speechless! Not only because of how much you have already ridden but thinking how much more you're gonna ride in unexplored areas. All the best!

                          Kudos Praveen. This is true adventure. Just ride into the sunset and enjoy yourself.
