1 Classic 350cc, 3 Thunderbird 500cc Royal Enfield's and the State Highway can be deadly fun and adventurous. Started off at 0500 Hrs from Tavarekere, my pillion Vivek joined at Mekhri circle, convened at Nelamangala junction with the rest of the riders and thus began the ride.
Breakfast Stop at Udupi Hotel near Yediyur and the first challenge - Satish's rear Tyre was going flat. Within a kilometer found a puncture shop. The mechanic fixed the puncture without removing the wheel. The first time I had seen someone do it that way, new learning! Our next stop was atop the mountain of Mavinakere Ranganatha Swamy temple.
Splendid view of the landscapes and the cool wind kissing the cheeks was an experience. After the darshan of the Ranganatha Swany we descended down to the Venkataramana Swamy temple. After performing the pooja, Vivek & I took a holy dip in the river Hemavathi. It was refreshing!
We just touched the main road & Sridhar's rear Tyre was flat. As if it were a plot, there was a puncture shop adjacent. Being hungry, wanted to get over this faster, hence dismantled the wheel quickly and the mechanic was on his job. The assembly was challenging with the rear disc brakes getting into the slot. Once accomplished, the next stop had to be for lunch which was in fact a long distance to cover. Raced at the best possible speed to reach Hotel Mayura.
Next was a tea break at Nelamangala Junction from where we dispersed back to our Homes.
Thanks Satish, Sridhar, Shashi & Vivek for the wonderful ride and hoping for more. You guys are great company !
