Please read first quarter of the story which is more a warm-up ride HERE
Now continue reading...
After Breakfast from Thrissur, we decided to extend our trip to Nelliyampathy in Palakkad district of Kerala, a hill station. So we had lots of corners in mind from trissur itself.
Trissur - Nelliyampathy is around 90 Kms.
We built pace slowly and steadily. Traffic was heavy till we reach the base of the hills.
We have gone through lovely traffic tackling sessions inbetween.
Monsoon / rain god was too impressed with us that their was no hint of rain any more.
Roads where good, well maintained and dry.
We reached the bank of "Pothundy dam" spent some time there.
The greenery was divine and too inviting so we stopped every now and then to enjoy the green earth.
At this point ,local police inquired us about our destination, job, etc.
One of our scooters(black classic) had given up at higher altitudes. He totally refused to climb any more. So we pushed him to the side and kept him there and continued our ride(the classic rider managed to get a rear seat on a thunderbird. )
Nelliyampathy is a cornering heaven. Twists, twists and twists....
One will surely enjoy the flexible muscles of their torquey machines here.
Make sure your horn is working properly, or you will end up in an accident.
vehicles are moving fast in both directions all the time.
We stopped for lunch and continued without any rest.
W reached the view point at a reasonable height after a lot of cornering...
The view from there was amazing... Have a look..
Spending some time there we planned the return.
Every one was in good tune. corners were done faster this time.
We spent some time in between to allow the scooter rider to give his machine a rebirth.
So few guys joined him to help him.
Others got time to do some photography:
We reached back the base of the hills soon. Took some tea and snacks.
spent some 20 minutes at the coffee shop.
The return was a blast from then.
Whenever we got open road we just pushed our rides to the limits..
On the highway it was not easy to achieve great speeds due to heavy wind while riding back to Cochin.
Swaroop opened the throttle to achive an impressive 111 kmph on his FZ, but Roshan managed to outgun the fz on his first generation Unicorn touching a 115.
kochu on the other hand was fighting with wind on his 220 to register a 137. Praveen did a 120 on his ZMR which just completed running in.
After a fast session we stacked our rides on a relatively empty highway side.
Every one's face were like this:
Complete satisfaction was visible in all eyes.We got a combo ride on all riding conditions. We expressed our happiness, exchanged comments.. and then continued back to Cochin.
We reached Cochin in the evening.
Our intention was to do a warm-up ride before upcoming tri-state G2G.
But we managed to make more satisfying 300 kms trip.
Now Every one is charged and is eagerly waiting for the jumbo run !
