Hi Buddy,
Great to know it in detail.
44 is amazing !
And most importantly what was the top u managed? I hope u crossed 130?
Will call u... Me and swaroop wanna go Bangalore.. sooner.. what about doing 1000 km a day? I am sure u wont mind doing another bangalore trip... after a month

Buddy, AS you know, I am very much ready for such an attempt. If u ant to cross 1000 a day, I think ride to hyderabad is the best idea............. it will be morte than 1000 kms and we can have a visit at Ramoji Rao Film City which is for sure a nice place to visit. Hope it will not leave a big hole to our pockets............

The maximum speed.......i was not trying to reach the maximum.....done the same 127 kmph.............. and hope there is some vibes in my footrest after 110 kmph........

@neil: I started at 6 in the morning from mysore. It was a slow ride till Vazhikkadavu. Reached at Vazhikkadavu @ 10.30 am...Started from there at 11 am............ reached Thrissur @ 2 pm..........had a break there for some 3.30.....reached at Moovattupuzha @ 5..........and Kottayam @ 6........ Altogether till Thrissur, it was a slow ride as i had a pillion with a big bag from bangalore in my return strech......i think, withoutt pileon i migh had done much better............

Some what like Mysore- Nilambur - 2.5 hrs; Nilambur-Thrissur- 2 hrs: Thrissur-Kottayam -2 hrs.... A total of 6.5 hrs may be enough

[RanjithMN]

I think Sabu will be very happy to hear of the Leh trip !

Not when i ask him to sponsor me

A bunch of roses from my side,i also want long rides especially Hyderabadbut i think hyd.is 1300kms from cochin
Btw i done my ever best top speed on my p220,128kmph with pillion but the road was damn worse to achieve further speed

[praveenmemala]

The total distance upto hyderabad is below 1100 kms. To ramojirao film city which may be set as the destination is 1165 kms away from cochin. As most of us know, staying in a city like hyderabad will make our budget very high........... So we will stop wher we reach 1000 kms and will arrrange a stay at the place.......... As the trip is still in egg, that much detail is unnecessary now. Will wait others to respond...... Want to know who re all interested in such a ride...... But my suggession is that the riders who want to come in should have to keep the pace of the group....... As we re planning to ride 1000 kms a day, none will be able to be a sweap for slow pacers......it ll be a matter of wastage of time...... Hope everyone can understand.........

So in my suggession, if we re doing it, we need experienced riders who ve atleast ridden for one time with some of us...... Newbies should not be entertained unless otherwise the reps re already known about the rider's skills.......

So my first sugession is Hyderabads......the cost of stay per person near the film city is around 600 rupees..... 1200 kms one side....... 3 days.....ie. 3 breakfasts, 3 lunchs, 3 dinners and refreshments........ So please rough out...... And we can just workout

My mind says its possible..
Will make it an ultimate asphalt burner.
Doing all day 120 will be serious entertainment. Swas will be back in town tomorrow, will discuss with him.
I need to check out some xbhpian's profiles to find out their records(after all we should not miss the record.. leave the saddle score/bun burner guys)

Hope I can make it 150 this time

vibrations on foot rest.., leave it man...we can surely say Motul 5100 will reduce it .(Think about doing 126-127 on fz...).. Your mighty machine is bone to do 24 Hr 110 Make sure you carry engine oil

Yes you are true.. Sluggish riders cant take this biggie...


Now think about the possibility of the following:

starts from cochin @3:00 am
Reaches Bangalore @ 10:00 am
Spending 1 Hr @ bangalore.
Leaving Bangalore @ 11.00 am
Reach Ramoji @ 7:00 pm


We need to carry lots of water and chocolates to keep pace under the sun.

@vishnu:
Friend, its great to find some rider's adrenalin flow into your arteries.. (128 with pillion is impressive) congratz. Ride safe while speeding... Get a riding jacket and a pair of good glows.

Sure, with patience and good mental health, we can make it. I know someone is there with a record of 1234 kilometres. Dont remember who s that. Hope its one among the administrators. If you do 150 kmph, it will be another record.

I think we can reach bangalore by 7 hours. as its planning, its fine. Calculate it as 8 hours. That ll be fare. the next stretch is also worth to try. Anyway as i got the last days, Map My India's map will be assisting us to make an easy journey.

[kochumvk]

yeah I forgot to ask about the reliability of map my india maps..

Check out satyenpoojary He did a 1308 km... so our job is never going to be easy.(if we r looking 4 1300+)

All depends on road conditions... This is the situation I want my ride to do 200+ sure asking too much...

what is wrong with that thought?
FYI,its smooth as butter \m/

[lijok]

woah! A sprint in the forming.... hehe... I've love to join... but if its after atleast 3 more months... am financially grounded.... If anyone want a piece of advice, dont get more than 1 credit card, and dont go for more than 50k credit limit in that one!!! If its sometime in Nov, I can come along, as a warm up for the Leh ride...

[praveenmemala]

cooooool

Mapmyindia gave me a good experience as a tourer . In true word i never asked anyone for a route or byroute....... It gave real distances, better roads, short lengths...... And the city coverage is too good......it just easily located a small junction in mysore where i wanted to reach for my stay...... And in return journey i simply followed the route suggested by the map. I was familiar with the nilanbur-thrissur road. I expected that map is guiding through pattambi. But it guided through other route. But for my surprise the distance was lesser by 8 kilometres. But I found out a problem....... It works according to the european standards..... It has got no U turns in the roads...... If u miss a turn on your route, the map will guide to the next junction, and will tell you to make U turn at the junction and to go back to the earlier turn..... Thats a problem....... I missed a turn and wasted fuel and timw for 20 kilometres.

Kochumvk, I have visited the profile you guided. He did a 1308 kms. I have a question at this time..... Whatz our actual aim? If its not a tourers wish..... For a riders wish we have alternatives........

If you want to ride for a length higher than 1300 kms...... I will be making anothewr suggession for sure......

I too agree that your request is too much...... +200...... I think i am not afraid for sure...... If u permit to sleep for 6 hours after the ride, i am ready to ride even for 24 hr...

[RanjithMN]

Guys..i dont know if i had told you guys an idea that i have..
a Coffee Table Book! how abt it?...i think we will need to have 2-3 more rides for it though.

[praveenmemala]
