      I have been a silent spectator to this thread. I am still tentative as I have some plans up north.

      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).

                    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
                    Are the times out of whack ?
                    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.

                        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 12.5K

                          I'm all for the sane part.

                          speed cylinder with 5 speed gearbox; confused?
                          Well, not really. But a few questions.
                          Running 1st or 2nd bore ?
                          How painful was the 5 speed conversion ?

                          Planning to get it bored and back in form you see. It will be 13 years this december. Know any good chaps in chennai ? Have a huge "to-do" list. Yet to find the money.

                            Simple you see - just plonk the 5 speed gear box; no cog bog & no frills.
