Thanks dude. Thats what Ranga said at the fuel station when we started off. Let's make history. I didn't think too much about that statement till after the ride

Am sad I had to sell my 220. But if by any chance I happen to come back to India and work, I would buy it again without looking at any other bike unless Bajaj launches something better.

You can check out the 4 lane status of any highway in india at NHAI::Welcome to NHAIOriginally posted by satan69in View Post
Its pretty accurate and is updated every month with the current status. The Hyderabad jabalpur road seems to be on the North South corridor but I see it is mostly incomplete from the NHAI website. if its a 2 lane highway too it shouldn't be an issue if there isn't too much traffic and road quality is excellent. You might feel exhausted quicker though because you need higher levels of concentrationComment

first of all thanks a ton shrinath. this is jus a begining. much more to come. and of course P220 is the best bike i hv ever ridden. there was not even a single cough or hick up's on the bike the entire day. after completing the ride, the next day i started it, and it turned on normally as if nothing has happened to it the last 24 hrs...Originally posted by shrinathrao View Post

Congratulations buddy. So you mean, 1600 Kms in 24 hours works to 70 Kmph on averageOriginally posted by floydanubhav View Post
& that to on a 220CC motorcycle. But you see, you cannot keep riding all 24 hours, say probably 20 hours & that makes 80 Kmph!!! - Hats off to you & Ranga (IIRC from Pune right?)
Seriously - the Americans don't deserve this title on their HD's & SBK's on a good super highway.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Yes that's why they certify it as an India Saddle Sore. and it was 1700 km. The average on some sections was 100+ for over 2 hours
, Coz we drove through rain for about 3 hours, fog for another 3 hours so we compensated everywhere possible by maxing the 220s.
we drove most of the time coz we lost a lot of time in bad weather. no breaks except for fuel. Red bull, chocolate, tea and banana that was all the nutrition we took

IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
I think you didn't do the iron butt ride for doing it right or did you?we drove most of the time coz we lost a lot of time in bad weather. no breaks except for fuel. 5 red bulls each that was all the nutrition we took
5 red bulls? Is that all? Now I understand what this means, IT IS REALLY iron butt, you don't get down from the motorcycle even to stretch out. Tell me, does it depend on the CC of motorcycle or is it irrespective of it?Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

Hmm. I just love biking. And when i started off on the ride i didn't wanna give up. i am a bad loser :POriginally posted by aargee View Post
well, i think we did stretch at each fuel stop but that was all .. hmm i dunno about cc but the 220 DTSi was perfect. especially coz of the high speeds we were doing and the awesome headlights in the nightLast edited by floydanubhav; 05-23-2010, 11:39 PM.Comment

I sure didn't mean 100 or even a 125cc motorcycle, any Indian motorcycle having the cubic capacity of 150 or above is capable and in the hands of an insane rider even a P-135 or GladiatorOriginally posted by aargee View Post
^ have done ~450kms on an RX long back and it was fun
^^many guys have P-220's/Karizmas/R15's etc, how many of them have completed IBA, heck, how many of them have even tried?(pointing at the rider here)
lets not take too much away from this thread
