    Hi everybody myself manohar doing PhD in bhubaneswar.
    as iam from andhra pradesh i got a RE ELECTRA 2014 recently and want to drive my bike from Rajahmundry (AP) to bhubaneswar(ORISSA).

    Iam planing for overnight stay in Vishakapatnam after driving 240km from Rajhamundry and next day i will ride vishakapatnam to bhubaneswar which is 450km.....

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

      Mate, go on a ride covering at least 100-150kms in day before taking the big ride, doesn't matter how/where, just complete 100/150kms on the odo (route should include highway, obviously). That will give you a fair idea of what you are capable of : how should you be riding, what would you require, what should be the seating position etc..
      It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the ride - bolts!

        Don't worry it is easy to do 450 kms in a single day.

        My observations.
        Health and food are absolutely important for endurance during ride. Eat and eat and eat during the whole ride, food is the best medicine.
        If you ride solo you will get bored. you have to overcome this.

          Ok for the bike or for you? Because the bike should be superfine

          Hard to say that only with the info as you're doing a PhD. Keeping it simple, if you've the will, you can even do Rajamundry to Kolkatta in a day. However, here're some pointers to accomplish your Rajamundry to Bhubaneshwar little easier...
          1. Leave as early as possible, say around 3 AM in the morning
          2. Take very less breaks as possible
          3. If you feel a slightest tired or wanting for a rest, ignore point #2 & simply take break
          4. DO NOT skip B'Fast, Lunch & Dinner; do not have heavy, oily or from places that you think are not hygienic
          5. Finish about a liter of water for every 3 hours to keep you away from fatigue
          6. DO NOT feel excited before the day of journey & sleep well & get adequate rest
          7. Pack things (if you got to carry) a day before the journey
          8. Last but not the least, have a STRONG DETERMINATION & BELIEF in you that, you will reach the destination safe

          Good luck

              100 Kmph morning 3:00 AM to evening 6:00 PM - NO
              50-60 Kmph of average speed from morning 3:00 AM to evening 6:00 PM - YES

              Hope this answers what you're looking
