Thank you so much! I had absolutely no difficulty while riding the Dio and no after effects as well - no lower or back pain. I have taken Bumble to Yercaud, Wayanad too Quote:

Thank you so much! Dio fared really well, just that it drank a bit more fuel than the other two bikes. And I dropped the bike twice (my first fall from Dio). Also, no, I generally don't ride the Versys, way too heavy for me I feel. Atul and Amruthesh at times switch their bikes though Quote:

Thank you so much. The pictures are all clicked by my iPhone 8+. Also, yes, I'm a big time Rossi fan hence the keychain Quote:

When is the mega log coming up? I am waiting for it ![Smile](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.png) |
Thank you! I clicked all these pictures using my iPhone 8+ and edited on Snapseed/Lightroom. NE t log is coming really soon, working on the day-wise t logs and the pics as of now. Quote:

Thank you! Quote:

Mega T Log coming really soon. Another month or so may be. Quote:

I love the drive from Ooty to Masanagudi and was lucky to see wild animals enroute. |
Thank you! I have been constantly unlucky in spotting wild life between Ooty - Masinagudi route apart from the usual langoors, elephants and deers. Waiting for the day when I see a tiger. Got a glimpse of a bison once though. Quote:
