@Chennai Junta: Who's game for another Interstate Meet?

Tentative Dates: Mid-End Feb
Tentative States Involved: KA-KL-TN
Tentative Location: Somewhere in KL (Maybe Wayanad/Munnar), Valparai (If we have 3 days), Ooty

This is just to see how many are interested, then we'll start a new thread depending on how many interested!

I'm in! But I'm still thinking if Wayanad area is comfortable for a 2 day meet from Chennai. Might turn up to just be riding up and down.

Exactly!!! You spoke my mind; Even Munnar might work out for a 3 day, otherwise it will again be a ride up & ride down.

Have a fun trip guys & be safe. The weather is near perfect for rides...
I would have loved to join but i can't ride bikes for the next 3-4 months. I had an bike accident on my Karizma on 1st Jan....broke one of my right foot bone.... .

Sorry to hear about that buddy - but good thing I haven't seen you yet - I promise to break the bones in your other foot when we do!

When you own not one but TWO pairs of riding boots - what the heck were you doing with a pair of sneakers??!!

Rajiv and I are off tomorrow for another over-nighter to I-don't-know-where-yet and we're going to be missing our 'hair-dryer' guy!!

I guess i opted for sneakers on that day due to laziness & over-confidence...

I thought "i'm just going to spencer plaza...why bother with these big boots"

Anyways, i've started walking again....though can't ride bikes for few months...

Went to vedanthangal today morning . Started at around 5.30 AM and reached there around 6.45 AM . The place was filled with professional photographers with high end cameras.

Clicked few photos . There were a bunch of people with high end camers like canon Mark series and big lenses and they capturing awsome pictures flawlessly . My P&S camera was struggling to take good photos in low light in automatic mode and I am yet to learn the manual setting of the camera as am pretty new with the camera. .Enjoyed the serinity of the place for some time and started from there around 8.15 AM and reached tambaram around 9 AM .

Back from the overnight trip.
Zerotosixty joined us and unfortunately, Steve couldn't make it.

We reached Dharmapuri for lunch, took a little nap, and rode to Mettur on Sat Evening just in time for a nice pinkish sunset. State Highway Roads are horrible in Toppur - Mettur stretch.

Rode to Hogenakkal early in the morning. Roads are decent with some nice twisties to throw your bike in the corners. The falls itself were a bit disappointing. Badly maintained and grossly polluted.

Left Dharmapuri after a 'light' breakfast and reached home in the evening.

Big thanks to Xinfii (Praveen) for helping us with the accommodations at Dharmapuri!

Was it You and Vijay alone or Rajiv & Sunny also made it? Pics? Pics? Pics?

By the way, I have applied for leaves on 27 & 28 January. Planning a 5 day trip (From 26 to 30 Jan). Let me know if any one else is job less enough to join me that time
