Enjoyed the wonderful trip-log. Sleeping more and starting out late turned out be a blessing in disguise! Riding in the rain is really irritating unless you're riding in Kerala

Really? Someone told YOU that..?

Waiting for day 2 log now.

Thanks man!

Which were the correct ones?

The forest is a tricky part, no uniqueness about that, give me a clue at least.

The first one was Malpe Beach, Udupi. You were 50% correct. But you dint mention the name of the beach.

The mountains shown in the second pic are from day 3 and that you will see tomorrow.

The third pic was spot on. It was clicked while I was climbing Kodachadri from the wrong side.

Its not as hard as you think! Forgot the Muthati ride

The stretch in Pic#1 is 10kms from Kushalnagar, the place where you get a board that says beware of elephants don't stop here.

Spot on man!

That hill is in the direction of Madikeri. The road from Madikeri to Sampaje is pretty much doable in a car. Might take a wee bit longer than on a bike, but can be be easily done.

Hey Praful, seems somthing nice... let me check the whole thraed first

**pranay** · 04-01-2009, 01:44 PM

What can I say man!! Your journey keeps getting better. Climbing Kodachadri and reaching the top must have felt like moksa.

Very well written and good pics to support your text. Keep 'em coming. I can see the central grooves of your Vyde thinning out. Also, I can see you were doing some good leans

!

**archistar** · 04-01-2009, 02:34 PM

fantastic bro... waiting for the return ride

Climbing Kodachadri in moon light and another time in rain will be moksha! Game for that?

I guess the Vyde's awesome grip can be attributed to the fact that its a soft compound tyre (almost). Its been used only for 8.5K kms and this is the state of it. But this ride did eat up the tyre a lot!!!

Well the leaning was necessary on this road, but it din't feel as much. Only when I would stop to take a break and observe the tyre did I realise that I was leaning more than I usually do. Wait for day three....the leans get better! Almost track like....

So it does wear out fast.

Well, waiting (im)patiently for Day 3 logs + pics.

I have promised my self not to do kodachadri till monsoon.. Damn looks likes its going to be hard

**M@n()J** · 04-02-2009, 12:45 PM

Nice day 1 and 2 logs Praful.......

**Abhishek B** · 04-02-2009, 01:11 PM

Very nice !!

Hey Praful,

The log was very interesting. This combined with pics gave a real feel of reading & actually imagining of what you and P220 did.... Wow !!

Waiting for day 3...... this will surely act as a booster for others planning their trip in near future including me

You are near the coast.. and who knows how many beaches are there along NH17!! this might as well be some unknown beach, I am correct in saying Udupi. I want reval

The mountain pic looks very much like the mountains you see when going from chikamaglur to Kemmangundi before baba budan giri!

**motormania** · 04-03-2009, 11:57 PM
