Good luck to you man. Looking forward to many more of your journeys. If you ever ride down or through Mangalore be sure to let me know in advance!

Cheers!

Congratulations Praveen! You are a legend, I hope you know that! And yes do post this on ADVRider, the people will go crazy over there.

Congratulations once again!

Thanks Akhil. We shall meet soon. btw you were missing today..

Hehe left the central part on intention, as i heard no good roads and safety concerns. But then thats just hear say and it would be completely different in there. May be some time

Thanks suman

Glad to still keep your interest Nabendu. i am yet to review my pictures

Sure thing Meghan. Hope you Java is up and running by now

Thanks Sunny, but i guess BJ the world tourer is the legend. Just that things worked out for me. Did put a thread in adv, but i guess they are fed up of trips on small bikes, so ditched the thread there

Yes praveen even I have read that Central India particularly MP are unsafe. I have actually read a travelogue from a man last year,He happened to travel from the UK's Enfield factory to Madras Enfield factory by a Bullet on Road, Cant find that website now but He faced with decoits in MP, He said that he slowed initially as if he was stopping and when he was near them he just raised the Throttle and sped away,those fellows did not dare to get hit by the Bullet. So you made a wise Choice.

Yes it is finally. The transfer work is done, just need to renew the RC which expires in 2 days. Did some work on it at home on Friday and brought it back to its form, cold starts are now with single kick to max 2nd kick. Hope it stays that way

Sorry PKM! I had a late Saturday night and you guys were back home from the G2G by the time I woke up

I'll definitely meet you sometime in the coming days.
