Ji sir..

I m coming to delhi, to lets meet up once.

Arre yaar..

Hmmm...full on..!!

Arre kaafi door pad raha tha..isliye..!!
Most part of the journey was off-roading...so i was a little tired.

Hmmm...

Log + pics -- Part 1

So, finally the day came when i was to start my maiden solo long ride to the konkan region. Had put an alarm for 4.00 am..but lazy me woke up at around 4.30am..
Got ready by around 5.15 and went to the parking just to check the hava-pani[] of the bike..!

Checklist:
Petrol - enough to get till tamhini, hope to fill there.
Tyre pressure - perfect.
Electricals - working.

Tied my bag onto the rear seat of the bike..and i was ready to go. Time was around 5.30am.

Reached Chandni chowk within no time since there was not soul on road that time. Nice cool breeze was blowing and by that time even the "sooraj chachu" wasn't up too..

Proceeded towards tamhini, till some gaon the road was good but after that it was really bad...my offroading journey had begun from there itself[]..

By now the time was around 6.15 - 6.25am..which meant that sooraj chachu had started to show up.. which meant it was welcome break for a photus to b clicked.





Yup that's me with my new Cross




Now came the TWIST in the journey whether to take the highway route or the inner/coastal to my next milestone i.e Mangaon. I thought that everyone goes thru the highway so let me take the inner route and see how it is..!!

So, continue riding ahead..but then after going a few kilometers ahead realised that i didnt fill in petrol. Asked a few locals out there whether any petrol pump is there in the vicinity, and to my surprise they told that the next petrol pump would come directly in Mangaon next. To this my reaction was literally i thought "beta ab to vaat lag gayi, pehle hi petrol bharva lena chaiye tha". Continued riding ahead..within a few kms realised that the bike was choking a bit, which indicated that i had to shift to "reserve" now and there was still a lot of kms to reach mangaon.

Enquired again with some locals about any place where i can find petrol anyplace close by, some ppl told that there is one place named "Neev gaon" which was around 5-6 kms away from there. There is one person named "mariyaa" he keeps extra petrol with him at this shop. Hearing this had a great relief in the heart that atleast i will get some petrol till my next stop. Finally after a lot of asking reached that person's shop and enquired about petrol, He told its 60rs per litre , filled in around 3 litres and continued riding again. Now i was a happy man.

During all this the time was around 8.30am and i was felling hungry so decided to stop a dhaba enroute. Continued riding and riding and there no signs of some dhabas too.. i was thinking what is this ...?? where have i come ...?? How do travellers survive here ...??

Finally, saw a dhaba enroute and decided to stop there..it was empty I asked to the dhaba vaala what all can i get now for breakfast, he told whatever you want you can get as they make the stuff as and when the order is placed. In my mind i thought lets order for Chicken tandoori..!! But then settled with poha and chai..

Once done with the breakfast continued riding ahead and was welcomed with some smooth roads Since it was a rare sight so i m mentioning it separately

Stopped for a quick photo session, since i had not clicked many pictures till now(which is not good for me ).









After the photo session moved ahead and saw a lot of dhabas enroute..what the heck yaar..!! When i was searching for a place to eat there weren't any but when i was able to find one and was tummy full..now i see so many in line..

Well anyways, continueing ahead there were many ghat sections till mangaon..but all were f**ked up.. bad roads everywhere..!! Finally rote, pit te, hilte dulte hue reached mangaon..!!

Review of the road from Tamhini - Mangaon:
Distance : Around 70-80kms
Condition of road: 90% Super bad + 10% good.
Type of road: 80% Ghat + 20% straight road.

On reaching Mangaon first went to a nearby petrol pump and did the tankful . After that started towards my next destination i.e Harihareshwar. So, started asking the locals the route for the same since i cud not spot any sign boards nearby.

Got to know the route and started cruising as the roads were super smooth with lots of arrow strainght roads and a couple of nice flowing corners...!! I had started to do some cornering(like the same i do while in lavasa), but then i thought it wont be much safe to ride like this since i m riding on this road for the 1st time, i better be careful . The journey was pretty cool mainly due to the fact that there were trees on both sides of the roads, quite a rare site though here in maharastra .







When i go a little ahead i see sign board reading Harihareshwar 35kms and diveagar 18kms..so i thought first lets visit the diveagar beach and then wud continue towards harihareshwar. So, i turn towards diveagar. And i tell you, even a 20 kms distance take a lot of time since youare travelling only thru village roads..where we can't increase the speed than 40km/hr.

So, finally reach the Diveagar beach...and my 1st impression on seeing that was " an empty beach ", have heard so much abt this beach but still no ppl around..!!









Poor old uncle there at the beach, he might be the care taker of the beach..



After a little photo session had some "nariyal-paani", which proves to be real good refresher in that kind of hot weather.




More coming up later.
