PS: Activa, sure is a lot of fun packed two wheeled commuter especially in cities.. Never took it off to a spin on highway/freeway so no idea how it behaves when it is max'd out with a pillion.. So hats off to Ketan bhai for the feat

I guess no other xBhp'ian has ridden activa for such a long distance

It sure has some punch in it dude. In those days I used to travel a lot to Thane from Dadar and riding that bike on Eastern Express highway used to be damn fun. In fact it's quite comfortable for female pillions as well. My mom used to sit comfortably on this bike while going to Thane, even at high speeds(wrt Activa)

Hey thanks Tushar.
Well talking bout the breaks after every hour's ride, I agree that it was my first ever ride and I didnt have as much stamina as I have today but that I was following that thumb rule of rests only from Bike's point of view and not the rider. Activa being very comfortable we could have easily opted riding non stop for more than an hour. BUT there are limitations of a 100CC 7Bhp machine.The engine, especially the exhaust used to get damn damn hot and it was a wise thing not to experiment in the very first ride of life

That was precisely the reason why I decided to reach Goa in two steps and not one. I knew taking so many halts will eat up time and therefore no need to take the risk of night riding.

Anybody willing to do a long ride(300+ kms) on Activa, please keep this thing in mind and take ample stops. Your bike'll be very happy with you that way

you was a total nuts!
Now i know where it all started, & now u have compleated saddle sore!

Hey thanks buddy! Yeah, you can surely say it all started here.. on an Activa

I love this sentence, "No matter where I go in my life, I know where I've come from"

From, an Activa to a R15 and from taking a break every one hour to the successful completion of IBA saddle sore! Amazing journey in itself Ketan bhau!

Thanks buddy!
And to the breaks part, I've given the answer to Tushar's post
