hey bunny the trip sounds exciting & u seem to have all the necessary things.. hey just a suggestion u can get a mod done which iam also considering after i saw octane & koolsun's bike, they have their seat lowered, cusioned & broadened for more comfort & they say its a breeze now on log rides.. my suggection wud be if u can then get a new seat & get it modified coz thats wht iam planin to do

also did u considered getting ur tyre filed with puncture protection liquid thoiam not sure how good they are..

all the best for the journey we'll be waiting for a nice long triplog with pics

good info. I prefer The Lonely Planet - India & Bangladesh Guide. Best map I have ever seen

Dont forget your camera and spare batteries Bunny!

good work techno, when attacked its a better option to just take a U turn and fleeeeeeeeee!!!

thx & yeah rajan thats the best of all LOL

way to go tech.

there is this company called NEST&WINGS..they provide awesome maps with distances and the best possible routes and info on hotels n pumps etc.. we used their map for our delhi-shimla-mussoorie trip.they also hv a website www.nestwing.com

Thanks bunny!

Nice Site - I prefer thier maps while travelling too good info on the presentation

NICE IDEA DAR, REALLY GR8 AND WELL THOUGHT...THAT NOTE THING ON YOUR CHEST, MAYBE I'LL GO WITH rS.1000/ OR MORE, I LIVE IN PUNE
AND BY THE WAY, GR8 WRITEUP TOO,

@ Bunny the site still has much under construction since a long time, now.

while riding in real hot conditions, put one end of a good towel on ur head,put on the helmet and tie the remaining towel around ur neck. good way to avoid heat-stroke. dis is wat i did while doing dehradun-delhi in june! also wear full sleeves , tie a cloth around ur mouth to avoid sun-burns.
note: if ur helmet is tight , dont do this , it may block blood circulation

NIce ones Bunny! guys try to use a windcheater as a definite protection against insects and mosquitos while drivin on highways.
Precaution is better then cure !!
