      ^^^ Lol!!! There's no detailed write-up; if you call this rag write, then, this is all I put up. Don't expect fancy writing & brilliant photographs. I'm no good with anything

        Great going. One needs a lot of courage to ride that long and that too alone.

            True.....
            Never been on a long ride, but this is how i enjoy and think that I am riding and touring instead of them(tourers, ).
            Keep it up aargee..... and if you turn towards Delhi, we are eagerly waiting,

                Congrats bro, sounds like you're having a blast, didn't realise you had started!

                You've covered some serious ground, shame you by-passed Goa, would have got you drunk, you would still be hungover now, by next weekend you would have found your bike and continued you voyage!

                All the best, enjoy!
                Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
                More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
                Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
                Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
                Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

                  Tks; you don't know how much I'm shivering inside
                  Monday, while I was on my way from Pune towards RJ, on the Surat-Ahmedabad highway, I really had an incident; I was doing 70mph no matter its up the bridge or down the bridge or straights as I was in the mode of checking the FE. So this M800 comes behind me & honks like crazy; so as usual, I yield & wave my hands for him to pass me. But that guy's intention was different; when I closed the throttle for him to pass, he slows down; so when I open up he opens up, this happened for less than 20-30 seconds & I realized it. So I pull up completely & stopped with my engine idling. This guy stops about 10 feet ahead of me & watches me in his RVM. I stood there for over 5 mins (that moron actually wasted my precious time as well); I was determined to move the moment he opened his car's door as well. But after that, he drove away slowly thinking I might pickup. I didn't budge until he went out of my sight & after that I moved on & didn't meet him

                  Please; and when you come to Chennai, pls don't hesitate to let me know, I can help you bye-pass Chennai city (unless you want to stay) from NH4-NH5 or viceversa as I stay very close to both the highways & know 100 other alternatives to bye-pass or staying.

                  Lol ; I don't take alcohol + Goa was not part of my list; I've been to Goa several years ago. I always wanted to go beyond Goa & all way upto Delhi & hence the plan.

                  Will post the Day 4 log & pics sometimes today or tomorrow.

                      Its really sad to hear about such incidents. Really sick mentality.

                      But its really awesome that you are doing this tour all alone, hats off to you man . Good luck

                        not expecting any fancy writing... just a brief note on route taken, roads and anything that happened on road, that u remember to be shared..

                          Will be done with pics; that's the least I could do

                          One of the beautiful NH (from what I've experienced so far) is on RJ, the drive from GJ-RJ on NH14. The last few 50 kms towards Udaipur is simply jaw dropping & I have promptly failed to capture due to laziness & rains; anyway, here're some to share...

                              ^^^ Udaipur - A beautiful city; lovely, so lovely people; simply awesome. I'll be in Jaipur sometimes during this weekend, say, Saturday evening until Sunday evening. I'd posted about my interest in the Jaipur G2G thread, but looks like no one took a notice of it for several days
