I have been a silent spectator to this thread. I am still tentative as I have some plans up north.Originally posted by xinfii View PostJust reached out to Madhu and Apar from Chennai. Both of them are fine with 19/20. Left Steve a message, he is yet to respond, but I'm hopeful he will turn up. There is a lot of time ahead.
but if that is postponed then yes I am game

An update on the accommodation part...
The supervisor who coordinated with us during our last trip is no more working for the hotel. Got to talk to a new guy.
The rules have changed a bit: There is no complimentary food (breakfast). And, surprisingly, weekends are charged at 2-day rate. For example, a tourist checking in on Saturday noon and checking out on Sunday noon should pay for 2 days! This sounds weird, but he says that this is the rule in all hotels across Yercuad! And this is only for weekends (for weekdays, it is per day rate).
Can anybody confirm on this with other hotels?
P.S.: I am done with the maths. Just waiting to post it here. Before that, please check with other hotels on the weekend tariff (tourists being charged for 2 days).Last edited by kirosh_03; 05-04-2010, 05:55 PM.All men dream, but not equally.

Are the times out of whack ?Originally posted by kirosh_03 View PostThe itinerary for last time was:
Day 1:
4am: Start from Chennai
7am: breakfast at Vellore (Hotel Saravana Bhavan)
8:30: Halt at Vaniyambadi
11:00: Meet Bangalore team
14:00: Lunch at Harur
16:00: Reached Salem
17:00: Reached Yercaud
Chennai - Salem is what 350Kms ? 12 Hours for that ?
AFAIK roads are excellent.
Anyway have not done that long rides on a bike so I could be wrong.
At this point I think I'm tentative for the ride plan. (Family man you see
)
Apart from Aargee(Rx-100) I've not seen any 2 strokes. My ride a 1997 Rx-Z (Stock) with 55K Kms with the engine untouched till date. I'm not sure if he will be able to take the 800Km round trip.
I think I can I guess
And here he is

@yzfrj: We took a lot of breaks in between. The Bangalore gang had some issues before reaching Vaniyambadi. We (the Chennai gang) spent a good 3 hours waiting at Vaniyambadi.All men dream, but not equally.

55K, yes, if you do not exceed 80Kmph with sane riding, you're the limit to the ride. Mine is no longer a 100; Its a look of 100 running on 4 speed cylinder with 5 speed gearbox; confused? So am I. By the time of our ride, the ODO would've clocked about 12.5KOriginally posted by yzfrj View PostApart from Aargee(Rx-100) I've not seen any 2 strokes.
