  • [Photo Feature]: Riding home , Pune > Thrissur.

    On June first we started it off from Pune . Two bikes , myself on a hero Honda hunk and a friend of mine from college , on his modded bullet electra.

    A brief of the ride :
    June 1 : started by around 6 in the evening , rode till kolhapur , haulted for the night
    June 2 : The plan to start at 7 in the morning miserably failed due to the breakdown of the bullet ( damaged ignition due to poor wiring)
    Started after lunch , from hubbali , turned towards the coast to hault at the Port City of karwar, at 9 , at night.
    june 3 : Started at eight in the morning , covered uduppi , mangalore and then entering kerala after lucnh , to reach home , thrissur at night . The longest ride / day.


    It was amazing experience, considering it as my first long ride. The agip synthetic oil helped to keep me free from any engine problems. the bike otherwise was in stock condition . It was helpful carrying an extra headlight and a spark plug. HEADLIGHT is very important i`d say.

    Riding along the coast made is damp and sweaty the last day, and adding to it the bit of monsoon that we brought along with us .


    Not to forget some amazing roads in karnataka on the nh 4 . But any one entering kerala through konkan road, i warn u of the kerlaa roads and especially the bus drivers here

                  Wel thats the road map . Total distance covered was 1459 km , including some sight seeing , away from the highways.



                  Well if asked for an ADVICE to suggest a rout from pune to thrissur , i`d tell you not to go through the mangalore route ! May be you wanna try that if you can afford a slow ride taking 3 - 4 night hault ! otherwise , the journes is HECTIC . If you wanna cover miles, and if that is exactly wat gives u pleasure , go for the palghat, selam route . head for banglore , be ther for a night and the second day , you can easily cover banglore to pune !

                  bangalore to pune is one heaven of a road !

                  well its very personal choices and suggestions !

                  Thanks every one for the support ! I will tell the Electra guy his part ~!
