    That bike belongs to Dilip, a friend of mine. I love that bike too. It has done close to 40k kms on the odo.

      Ok guys here are some facts about the ride

      4 days May 30th to June 2nd , around 1600 kms, 5 bikes, 5 bikers

      Riders and their steeds.

      1. Dilip - CBZ*
      2. Gurumurthy - Unicorn
      3. Manoj(me) - P220
      4. Vicky - P220
      5. Vignesh - RTR 160

      Routes taken

      Day1 - Chennai - Vellore - Krishnagiri - Sharmapuri - Metture - Avinashi - Pollachi

      Day2 - Pollachi - Valparai - Sholayar dam - Athirampalli falls - Chalakkudy - Adimali - Munnar

      Day3 - Munnar - Top Station - Munnar.

      After that the gang split into two groups. Myself and Vignesh had to be back home by June 2nd afternoon. And the rest of the gang - Guru, Vicky and Dilip wanted to stay for another night at MUnnar and start back home the next day.

      So we ( myself and Vignesh ) Started from Munnar by afternoon on day 3.

      So here is our Day3 and day 4

      Day 3 - Munnar - Pooparai - Bodimettu - Bodi - Theni - Dindugul

      Day 4 - Dindugul - Trichy - Villupuram - Chennai

      Day 3 and day 4 of the other gang

      Day 3 - Stay at munnar

      Day 4 - Munnar - Pooparai - Bodimettu - Bodi - Theni - Dindugul - Trichy - Villupuram - Pondy - Chennai

      Some interesting(shocking ) facts

      My bike (220) returned an average mileage of 43kmpl overall! When the mileage was calculated from Dharmapuri to Chalakkudy , my bike returned 50kmpl

      Vicky(220) attained a top speed of 145kmph on the speedo

        It was nice to see my speedo showing 145kmph.. but after discussing ive came to know the true speed could be 134kmph or 135kmph..

                  hmm.. thanks man.. the plan to stay at pollachi was pretty last minute.. Our initial plan was to halt at coimbatore for the night, but then the day before the trip changed our route cos' the accommodation at coimby became unavailable. We knew about you joining Ananth on his ride, but it did not occur to us then at pollachi to contact you.. If there is a next time at pollachi we'll properly plan up something. wokay ?
