Looks like Srisailam has been fixed for the sunday ride!

Kiran will post the timings and details of the ride soon!

[thefastestindian]

Seems like we are not going to get any answers.....
You come up with some idea Abhinav

I was having the following options:
1. Nagarjun Sagar - For the pure Nature and the beautiful waterfalls
2. Srisailam - For the riding pleasure on Ghats
3. Kuntala - For the high speed run

Any option is Ok coz in the coming next 3 weekends I am going to cover all these places
And any more options to the list is most welcome !


EDIT: Seeing Ravi Varma's pics I'm more inclined towards Srisailam
Nallamalai Forests: As close as it can get to nature
High speed runs for some stretches 8)
And GHATS

As I said, Cover srisailam for now.. I'll join you guys for the sagar and kuntala rides..

go to srisailam and sagar coming weekends i will try to join for kuntala

Me too. Can't make it tomorrow. Kuntala is on my mind from a very long time but just waiting for somw downpore so that the flow at the falls increases.
P.S : When are you getting your ride?

[kiran_borra]

Dont worry anna, We planned, we will plan and we will keep planning for our Araku ride

YES !
We'll atleast try to make it a reality after Riaz comes back from UK this time

go to srisailam and sagar coming weekends i will try to join for kuntala
+100..

Ram and Satish also said the same...
So kuntala will wait for 2 more weekends...
That place is worth a watch after as many rains as possible

Looks like Srisailam has been fixed for the sunday ride!

Kiran will post the timings and details of the ride soon!

Kuntala is in High demand and some of our members who aren't able to make it this time asked to post pone for next couple of weeks

And N.Sagar would be at its full glory when the gates are opened which will happen after some more weeks

And finally Srisailam roads will get more and more worse after some more rains (Already the roads are not in a great shape) So lets do it before more damage happens

Ride Details:
Meet Point: NH7 before taking the left diversion for Shamshabad Airport.
Meet Time: 5:00AM sharp!

EDIT: Hope it doesn't rain very heavily tomorrow
Weather forecast say 40% chances of downpour....

Airport front side or back side?

[nikhpaul]

I would say - Stupidly Brave - lol, sorry for the loss but I guess it had its own fun. U were on your R15 with no lights either and there was some night riding too?

The R15 has been fitted back with its fairing and headlights,.. but the rain hitting ur face like stones isn't pretty.. :|

[kiran_borra]

Airport front side or back side?

Satti same place where we stopped the last time we had our srisailam ride

[onlinesatish]

Satti same place where we stopped the last time we had our srisailam ride

Oh, so its the back side!

Last time was a nightmare ride for me while returning. Uncontrollable sleep, rains, and dsg did'nt provide any shelter from rains! Hope you dont have to face that this time!

[kiran_borra]

It was fun last time! while returning.

[onlinesatish]

It was fun last time! while returning.

Only i was'nt soo sleepy, both me and kiran thought our Zma's panel's and alloy's would have gone for a toss. Luckily they survived the torture I slept for a good 10hrs after i reached home that night

[harsha645]

Me too. Can't make it tomorrow. Kuntala is on my mind from a very long time but just waiting for somw downpore so that the flow at the falls increases.
P.S : When are you getting your ride?

I am planning to visit kuntala from a long time..:P..

Hey guys, I had quite an interesting day. Includes a small accident as well, all is well though

I have been pretty busy recently so dint get to ride my bike either. So wanted to ride on Sunday morning, but nothing was planned here earlier. Then decided to go for a short ride in the evening today, saturday, and asked Sandeep to join in, but he couldnt. Without wasting any time I decided to ride on the Srisailam road, coz of the beautiful landscape and good roads. Initially I was planning to ride just for some 100kms, to and fro.

After riding for a while I was thinking of turning back, but then after I hit 50km on Trip meter the road got even better and that urged me to go further. The thought of returning creeped in again at about 80kms but then I saw a milestone read 'Dindi 45kms' and just then I made my mind to go to the Dindi Dam, which Sandeep had suggested. Dint take long to reach the Dam.

It was very pleasant. Wind was playing background music with water tides adding to the beats every time it hit the shore. Birds danced to the tune of nature and the Sun was shinning down as if to light up the live performance. Sat there for a while and headed back.

On the way back I met with a small accident involving myself and another biker. This happened at some village, where the biker was crossing over from one side to the other and failed to react accordingly even after seeing me and repeated honking. I ended up crashing into the rear end of his bike. Luckily I did have some control over my bike even after the impact, so it dint crash hard and fast but just fell on the tarmac. Fortunately no injuries to either of us, but bike sustained some damage. The brake lever kinda bent into a curve, the rear brake lever got bent inward a bit and the handle bar just got misaligned, I have a split handlebar, so setting it back right wasnt difficult. No damage to the fairing.
People from the village soon gathered and demanded that I should be taken to the police station as I was riding fast and caused the crash. I had no issue with that. The cop there was pretty helpful. He had a chat with me, heard the story from the other biker and then asked us to do the settlement as per the damage and no complaint was lodged. I saw his bike and nothing major had happened. Just the saree guard was deformed. But as per the mechanic, one that was consulted, even the sprocket case and read wheel needed repair and said it would cost about Rs800. Which was bullshit. I dint have much cash so just gave Rs500.

After I started riding again I realised that the front wheel had bent as well. I showed the bike to a mechanic at a town and he said that the fork was bent, so 'Fork Throw' will fix the front wheel issue. Need to get this done. Met a friend for dinner and here I am .Clocked 250kms for the ride.

The accident could have been even more devastating but then I live to ride another day
