Hi friends,
Well starting with the 500kms of experience of riding from Pune to my place, which was done by me so many times. But my love with bike riding is not just that enough also I want to explore new places with my bike and more than 500 Kms away and I decided to go to Bangalore. Have had some work but thought that it was the opportunity to go with my pulsar 200NS. And what a Bike...! Superb performance, 3 years old beauty completed it in 14:20 hours including all the halts taken. Total distance covered in this journey was 868Kms from Pune to Bangalore where I was going to stay.
Amazing experience it was! In which I met many people, Riders and most interesting Mumbiker Nikhil
The Route and Preparation:
As it was the longest ride for me, I checked the route first and decided where to take halts. Google maps helps you all for this, map was saying 12 hours but taking all the halts count I was trying to reach to Bangalore in 15 hours as the road is new to me.

Bought one luggage tying rope for placing my bag on pillion seat. I was fully planned and checked my bike thoroughly, chain tighten up, engine oil changed to my favorite Motul 7100 20w50, checked both tires and brakes. Everything seems to be ready for ride. Picked up my Zeus All Terrain V3 jacket, Helmet, riding gloves, shoes, my bag covered with plastic to prevent from rain, and I was ready at 3:44am in the morning. Here is the First pic while starting.

After crossing 70kms of amazing Road from Belgam there is a bypass road to hubli nealy around 37Kms. The road started with a toll gate, and big 6 lanes, buttery smooth road gets converted into a small 2 lane road without divider. It was really difficult to ride on that road specially in pick time as the big truck are going in front of you and opposite side vehicles coming directly onto your bike if you are trying to overtake. So after doing with these 37Kms, from Hubli bypass cicle again the 4 lane started with divider. I took a rest for 5 minutes there near Bahubali temple and started again looking for a place to eat something.
