Amazing roads from Vadodra to Dhanu. The ride from Dhanu to Mumbai was slow due to the bridge construction projects going on.
But all in all it was a great ride. |
Awesome trip @TheGreat. The roads of Gujarat are awesome to drive. But somehow people don't venture out a lot over there. Have done a similar trip from Ahmedabad to Pune on my Pulsar. A lot of people were like WTH! Are you nuts! and so on. Felt great to see fellow bikers taking the plunge.
I did it in the summer, hardly felt like taking any pics. The same route in the monsoon would have been beautiful. Do post any other pics if you have. Nothing communicates like a picture does. Quote:

That's how a trip should be done Quote:

That's the perfect routine. On my bike trips, I always take breaks after 50 kms or a drive of half an hour (whichever came first). Helps the bike more than the biker. Quote:

Luckily we checked that during the break and had the Motul 510 handy with us in the bags.
So topped them up and came back without any hassles. |
Not so many casualties for you guys -for me the battery konked off (later found out one of the wires broke), the speedometer cable broke, one of the plastic sides cracked plus the engine oil almost reached to a min.
Hope to see a lot more rides in the coming days! Keep drivin'! |
