Keeping the engine in lower RPM's is a good thing while touring. Correct me if i'm wrong but mileage on highways is related to the RPM's. abt the cramster jacket and gloves, i think they look good when he's riding.

lol im no touring guru but yes thats what i have heard too and it makes sense to me.planning chennai mumbai in dec but i dont think ill be worried about mileage.

They look good when he's riding ? And when he is standing ?

@Manoj: If you are keen enough, you can even do Chennai - Manali - Leh - Mysore!

I haven't traveled these roads. But then, when you're unsure, just check it out dude, there is nothing to lose. The Satyamagalam area is pretty good. Just head there, ask the local people about a scenic route and wrap up the story!

Lol that was a good one Praveen Wish I had enough moolah for that :P

Yeah will enquire about the route to someone dude.

i did this route last month end with my frens(car). the SH that runs through Mettur is somewhat ok. Then after Sathyamangalam u have got that 27 hairpins climb which the only gud part of this route, and then when u are heading down the road is l'lle bad till gundalpet. After this i dunno much as I headed to Wayanad , and BTW u dont have to go til Salem, u can take the road to Mettur which comes few KMs after Toll-booth which comes after Dharmapuri..

Thanks a lot on the info dude. This will serve as great help.

Without a pillion yes.With one,yes but obv engine will have to work more.
i seriously dont understand the point of a tourer with a 150cc engine.
And yeah 100 is a very good speed if your bike can maintain it for long without overheating or any other shit.

My 220 does 62-64 at 4k rpm on 5th gear an 90-93 at 6k rpm,which i think is very decent for touring considering there is alot of juice still left.I believe the farther you stay away from the top end,the better for doing long stretches,at a higher constant speed.

@adarsh nice kit man.
but i dont like how cramster gear looks but as long as they keep u safe

planning to pick up a dsg maze jacket and alpinestar raven gloves soon

the pillion part even i agree....withe my friend sitting behind...the pickup was slower...but it maintained the pace well....

while solo riding,,,as of now....at around 4.5k,,,my bike touches ~60(gradually....i dun wanna strain her)


Regarding gear....i think they go well with my bike...u should see someday...

riding...or standing...dun care much...as long as i like them.......well yes ...these TRG 2 gloves look far better than those TRG 1,,which was available earlier....

ananth : the bikes good on highways as i did a couple of quick ones and a pretty long one... the bike cud do well with a constant 100's for an hour or so!!!

the bike cud have run for even more kms in that speed, but my butt needed a rest!!!

it was a pretty good bike for the highways!!! ( leave alone the mileage / the tank size)

on an average i got 40-42kmpl during my pollachi ride!!!

[anants_220]

ah my friend,you took it to heart,didn't you ? Im sure it's an awesome bike but the only thing i like about it is that it runs on 2 wheels :P


Anyway is there a GTG this sunday ? want to shift the rendezvous point to the broken bridge ? its my 5th year in madras and i haven't been there even once

[Aparajith]

@Madhu: Its good, no doubt! But for all the look and tire profile it has, wont u have appreciated another 50cc and better torque for easier overtaking on the highways/city?

[felix.ragav]

@ anants: I'm game. The road to broken bridge sucks. Gotta be careful.

[felix.ragav]

[anants_220]

@adarsh i was talkin to madhu.anyway broken bridge is close to bessie.not a safe place to go alone or after dark.local miscreants are a pain in the arse.

@felix done then.meet at cozee point and move to broken bridge.roads can be taken care of.

[Ananth]

I will try to join in if my wrist is OK by then.. Anyway, why not make it Sunday evening - It's not so good to goto Broken Bridge and stand under Hot Sun!!
