3.5 hours to EKM is not that big... once i ride from Thrissur-Trivandrum in 5 hours(i.e only the running time)... in my bike... so with an RTR 180 it's not that big... in my experience, for long rides at starting time it will take a lil bit to get used to the highways, but after few KMS our confidence,concentration
gains/improves(not kidding) and it will be easy to tackle the traffic with more accuracy(which i learned from our Trivandrum-Kozhikode trip)... but in the nights its really difficult to do such high speeds... but i can't do it now... after my accident, my confidence level to do high speed came less...
anyways @Lijo... great run man... how did the bike behaved in trip?Originally posted by lijok View PostBinoy is right... first couple of km i was too afraid of the dark parts on the road... after that I started pushing it... was doing 3 digits most of the time when the road permited. Alapuzha to ekm outskirts took less than 30 mins.... there is this 4 way road starting somewhere after Alapuzha uptill Aroor... full distance I was doing 3 digits...
But return journey is another story... the same road... stupid traffic.. 5 full hrs!! slow moving trucks, and bunch of cars around it like bees around beehive... not allowing to overtake...
@Binoy - the bike was like - just part of me...absolutly obedient and responsive.. Man I LOVE it!!!
I'll post a short travelogue soon... first gotta finish off a lil work..
Sorry to dissapoint both of you...i did my trips TVM-calicut under 7 hrs 2&fro

ya checked out lijo's gear and loved the jacket and helmet though the glove was on a little bit downsiide of expectation but is very good for city rides with decent protection. The helmet is not so flashy but the Best in terms of quality, that wad of cash can buy
With all those gear in red we can now call Lijo as ..... "Sakhavu Lijo"
