Subject : HELP ME
Dear touring heavyweight,
I shall take it as great kindness in you, if you could, in any capacity of yours, help me out in understanding that legendary bad stretch of road from Hubli to chitradurga on the otherwise fantastic NH4.
I shall be riding down to chennai via banglore and find myself in an urgent need of an answer to the question..
Is that 'god forsaken pain in the ass ' Chitradurga-Hubli stretch any better since last year Feb or has it gone worse now?'
You can help me divert my attention to anything else that you may think is important when trying to do the Pune Chennai ride but please answer that one question asked above.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Noob rider 1 of 6
P.S : Ninja riders please chime in.sigpic

It was much better than the last time i rode it (that was in April 2010). THe latest one was on Jan10th 2011Originally posted by TenHut View Post
on my trip to Kerala.
THe number of diversions have reduced significantly and more over u dont have to cross through Ranebannur town. You still have that railway crossing in the middle of the NH. May god have mercy on your soul if you are in a leather suit and waiting at the crossing
(i was wearing one!!
)
THere is still a stretch of bad road (<3kms, dont remember the exact location though) whihc you might have to ride patiently. There are occasional lane merges (wherein u have to drive on the opp side of the road). Other wise its pretty much a breeze.
Took 11 hours (incl of all breaks and brakes) to get from Chandni chowk to Kanakpura.
So the CBR should take you to Blore in 11/4 = 2.75 hours (Ninja =250cc, CBR =1000cc. So CBR should be able to travel four times faster )

@TenHut.. Hey remember me! Met you at McD's after Pune, I was riding to Bangalore and you had cautioned be about that stretch.
Well it's seriously not as bad as you had described to me! True, less than 5kms of going off the highway (uneven roads), entering some city (Harihar or Davanagere, not sure), which is easy to exit (right from the main signal, ask any local), and back on the highway!
Those few kms would be a pain, but then they are less than 100 and the red mud is gone

Guys, wanted to get feedback from everyone on the most fuel efficient two-wheeler. Am thinking of getting a two wheeler that gives more miles per litre of petrol, as a daily ride. This is due to the rising cost of petrol every month. Please provide feedback on what would be the most fuel efficient bike/scooter.
If not, lets plan!Originally posted by surojit View Post| '91 Yamaha RX100 | '08 Suzuki Swift | '08 Honda Dio | '09 Bajaj Pulsar 220F |

Discover 100 is the most Fuel efficient 2-wheeler in the market today. Alternatively.. you can try Yo-EXLR (?? I think) E-Scoot. Has a decent top speed of 55kmph and does a range of 60km in a single charge. (So it qualifies for you 32km daily requirement too). And since it is electric.. the torque spread and refinement is muuch muuch better than any petrol engined counterpart..Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
