December 2012
Day 1 Started quite early 5.15 usual shell bunk the wait and wake up call to Mohan and Aditya, finally Mohan reached with his Apache Evo we both started towards Tumkur nice road junction… :( we were just having a chai far we could hear Aditya with his p220 ContiGo projector's onn…
Soon we started the ride towards Tumkur, Tiptur... It was taking some time for all the three to settle-down on the highway in the took a coffee comfort zone. First break was near Arsekere for a quick breakfast the usual stuff biker talks all the time… we stop some where we stop for 30-45 min the road was unwinding my favourite single lane butter smooth roads...
I was really struggling as was having some close calls trying to keep up with our guy's and usual traffic on the whole the ride was quite enjoyable. And we were actually taking breaks quite frequently and was riding quite hard whenever on the roads, finally reached Shimoga, trust me THE ROAD FROM TUMKUR TO SHIMOGA PEOPLE ON THE ROAD ARE CRAZY ZERO ROAD SENSE PEDESTRIANS ARE UN PREDICTABLE. The moment we started enjoying the curves after Shimoga so much truck traffic till mandagadde, Both Mohan and Aditya started off with their isle of man style of riding, having the NS could try and catch up but the way our folks over took me in in 100 I taught I can be with guy's but trusting the eurogrip and taking corners more than 75/80 I guess not a calculated risk…
More pics are coming in.. please stay tuned here.. Due to busy schedule I am not able to complete this trip log as of now..
