I just looked up at the weather forecast for the weekend in Kodai- It says around 30max and 20min which is kind of hot for that place actually, so plan accordingly. But keep some warm clothes just in case and rains are expected.

I have bought the boots for 650/- at the military store next to HSR layout police station.. but you get better boots than this (steel plating for toes & waterproof one) for around 600 bucks at Shivajinagar/Russell market area.. Just search army stores in gmaps..

Great Pics @Divya Sharan

I am waiting for the DSLR pics. Devansh??

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

Also, can somebody suggest me where can I get the following:

1) Armoured Jacket
2) Riding Shoes

Sry guys, I forgot about all the places (still new to bangalore) you told me yesterday. If you can put it here, will be appreciated. TIA.

For jackets you can checkout The Helmet Paradise store Opp Urvashi theatre, they have DSG and few others including Alpine.
Riding shoes, cheap ones- Shivajinagar. Getting genuine army surplus is not easy though they are available in some places.

Also adjacent to Helmet paradise there is a shop called Ryders City (9008800777) which is opposite to MTR hotel... There hey have Spartan jackets and Gloves... They also have LS2 jackets which are not worth

I have gloves and a water proof jacket and trousers. I am also getting some absolutely necessary spares and trying to get a tank bag. But so little time. Anyways Ill try my best.

Also, after servicing the biking today, I was told that my rear brake disc pad is gonna give up in 1000 kms. So got it replaced. But any idea why it wore out in just 4500 kms???

Do you have a pic of the worn out pads? 4.5k kms is too less. Maybe you unwittingly keep your foot on the brake lever all the time.

XBHP 10th ANNIVERSARY, BANGALORE


Hmm........ Well at first glance this one did not come out to meet my expectations. I was expecting R1s, Harleys, Ceebers and what not. After all it was the 10th anniversary celebration of xBHP, I had heard so much about. Came back tired in stupid bangalore-hosur traffic, rested, officed, rerested etc.

But then divya sharan brought those wonderful memories. So I opened my camera and guess what I found. I found the glorious XBHPs 10th anniversary right in my pocket

A wonderful 3' Clock night sky.



The Gearing up



Outer Ring Road, marathalli






The fly overs



Insomnia



The Dawn of a new life



. . . .



The highway



And we went roaring through these highways. I was right behind gene ad that modified yamaha in red and white, wondering since when did a r15 leading a ceeber 250, but o-boy did he ride, at ease among the trucks, always indicating - so neat, so safe and yet so furiously fast. DDD.

And I followed. At one point I had to touch 130 kph at 8k rpm and then immediately brake to find the team ahead lol. Gene was wonderful with his symbols, both legs in the air at once, bringing them alive...

Gene waiting for the tail (at 60 x magnification )



My Ride,






The modified yamaha in white and red



Other companions



Aaaahhhhhhh these bikes......



Just look at them



Panache






Didnt like the food much


Heads! On the Table. NOW!





But THE BIKE OF THE 10th ANNIVERSARY DAY, BANGALORE goes to the YAMAHA R6.



Just look at it. The yellow beast



2000 MAX RPM



The maintained condition





The Radiator




Last Sunday through a noobs eyes.

Good Night

Hey Guys !

I am planning a solo week-long ride.

Pune-B'lore-Mysore-Pondi-Chennai-Hyderabad-Pune.

I wish to explore more around and would like suggestions from people who already have done this part.

I also heard about a ghat near blore/chennai which has 36 hairpin turns in 5kms(I cant remember the name)

All suggestions and experiences are welcome...
