After a considerable riding experience almost 10 years; I would love to share with you a few Do's and Don'ts for bikers and bike lovers who love touring on Bikes: On Roads… ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Never drink or take drugs and try to ride a motorcycle. 2) Don't try to keep up with your friends who may be more experienced. Know your personal limits. 3) Do not give in to road rage and try to "get even" with another rider or motorist. 4.

Planning: It had been quite some time, since I had exercised myself and the bike. Plus, I was out of ideas at work, so I knew I had to unwind. And what better way than on the good ol' bike ride! since I had to scrap many Ride plans to Kerala; twice during couple of months because of some obvious reasons, well I had been touring distinct parts of Karkanata without any bike documents and driving license which I lost!!! and finally this Deepavali; I spared few minutes for a small signature; and A perfect weekend plan, and recipe for a long ride and in more ways than one, this was a resurrection of my faith in my Pulsar. Well woke up at 0900 hrs instead of 0300 hrs and with a Quick bike health check up including electrical system and fine tuning of oil levels; chain and brakes; got ready, and in the last min dumped other necessary stuffs in the bag; made sure I didn't miss anything. What else do I need? can’t think!!! At 1030 hrs Saturday 15th Nov'08; I was all set for journey ...

After few minutes driving inside the city limits; hit the nice road, and well once at nice road you will feel your bike needs more power; as usual it was smooth ride till Maddur , at Maddur just spotted by to have some sugar cane; well all my Road trips are 33 percent about getting to a destination, 33 percent about the journey, and 33 percent, let’s forget math and make it 34 percent – about the food you eat along the way. In my years of road tripping with friends and family, I’ ve found that there are a variety of road-trip eating strategies. sugar cane is, of course, used to make sugar. It can also be eaten fresh well even I love to eat them... After this small feast I moved on towards Mysore and hit the Mysore traffic at 1230 hrs, thought having lunch, but dropped; My next stop over was at daba just next to the road; After quite a good lunch at daba near to Najangud ; I started cruising tow ards Guldalpet , and took a right diversion towards Sulatan battery ; stooped o...

Got ready, Pack up and checked out by 6 in the morning. I had to visit Soochipara falls and Chembura Peak before I leave Wayanad. On the way stopped at the tea stall; to have an early morning Kerala tea, well tea was not so grate but views just made that tea to remember!!!.. then I was sailing through wonder land called Wayanad, I had been to this falls earlier but the main reason to visit this again was just to drive 20 kilometers till the water falls!!! As View are just amazing all along the way!!! The ride to the falls was divine. The road curves through endless hills draped with a velvet carpet of green estates, a belligerent sliver rivulet and clouds which lowered themselves to add to the beauty. A 20km ride in the tea estates took me to the end of the road. I parked my saddle at a beautiful location. I have to walk a kilometer down through thick forest. The thick undergrowth and the ever-increasing roar of the falls fascinates you; as you move towards the falls. You don’t know wh...
