oh yes, mere dil ki baat........... Lote Parshuram, its been 2-3 years i had been there............ I used to go there almost every year...... Sometimes on bike or sometimes in cage..... I particularly love that spot before the entrance of lote parshuram where you can have amazing view of a few beautiful villages in the valley and konkan railway......

and to add to your list Hedvi, anjarle, Keshavraj, the ferry near dabhol and Kadyavarcha Ganpati................ phew.. the list will go on and on............. I love Konkan........



edit:- Anyone knows the road & traffic condition in Kumbharli Ghat ?? Its been on my list for a while now.... and since we are going that way (till chiplun) i am thinking of coming back from Karad (NH4). Though depends on what time we start our journey back and of course on any update on road condition.....

@ saurabhjd : agdi manatla bollas dosta. Hedavi cha shree ganapati... keshavraj chi garrrd ani rammya vruksha sampatti... lotte parashuram tar amha chittpawan konkanasthancha aaradhya daiwat... manala ek haluwaar marasim sparsha karun janari tikadchi bhaarleli shaantata... mesmerizing...

The places uve mentioned will take 2-3 days each, mitra... we are talking here of being back in 48 hours...

Perhaps another separate trip needs to be planned... worshipping the biking gods and the mesmerizing spiritual destinations of konkan... 7 diwas tari paijet

P.s.: I will chk with my friends on status of roads on the kumbharli stretch. Although the karad, satara thru mumbai is, as u know, as good as it gets. I will let u know in a day or two...

no no, i am not saying that we can or should visit all these places on this trip. its just that the old memories came alive. to do all these places, we at least need 4 days. most of these places are in vicinity of each other. we had managed all these places in one trip of 3 days. but if you want to spend good time there and enjoy the nature then 4 days are must.

and yes, chittapavan amhi pan that place always brings peace to my mind.......

and thanks in advance, please let me know about the road condition in Kumbharli Ghat

Re: The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Guys,

I'm seriously considering installing a Givi box (tail) on my CBR250. With ATGATT I get tired carrying all the gear everywhere I go, which almost doubles if there is a pillion. Also during commutes there are cases where I need to carry items which just wouldn't fit into a backpack. Plus the added boon during monsoons. For these reasons I think the Givi box is extremely practical.

Looking out for opinions, especially from DK (or Tushar?) who has/had one installed on his CBR. Any issues with it?

Also, where I could I get a good one installed from in Mumbai?

Get it from Hemant bhai

The only issue is during normal usage i.e. except touring you will end up looking like pizza delivery guy :P (rachit koli's statement

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

duly noted.
and u mentioned 120?
perhaps u were mentioning the CC of the avenger engine & not its speed!
even if i touch 70kph the vibrations get so unruly that i fear she wud unsaddle me!
my top speed during my daily commute is suppaawsome 50kph!
but not to worry... i will hold on to my own enroute.
i love konkan & its roads.
a cutting chai + kanda-bhajji's @ the apex of kashedi while watching the sunset / sunrise is nirvana.
pulling over @ the slight detour @ vashishthi darshan before chiplun & gazing down the great vashishthi river is eye therapy.
pulling over @ hotel pagoda for tandoor mushrooms & cotton-soft butter naan's is complete burrp!
being humble & bowing down to touch my forehead @ shree lotte parashuram, shree vyadeshwar & shree welneshwar is complete healing!
i have about 20 more years of motorcycling left in me...
let me treasure these days for my years thereafter!

Wouldnt that reduce the pillion seat space by little?

no it doesn't -- infact acts as a backrest

kakkad:here's how it looks loaded

[shahbaz63]

Re: The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

^ Only for CBR ? or this can be mounted to other vehicles too ? like RTR, Duke & ZMR ?

[drifter]

Re: The Official Mumbai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

It suits the cbr rest pe thoda odd lagega na ? rtr pe toh it would be a sight to behold

Wow, thinking of getting one for my impulse too. But will use it only during touring, i guess it will hassle free for impulse cuz it has a special extension for such boxes. How much does it cost? and also how much weight can you put in it?
