ani_meher 42 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 I recently did a Rajasthan roadtrip on motorcycle with my wife. This 10-day 1850 kilometers ride not only saw us making new records in terms of high speed and maximum distance covered in one day, but also bonded us with each other as well as with all persons whom we came across in this trip. I know this is not a travel forum or anything, but still, I think friends will enjoy reading this trip-log.

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted March 1, 2010 Really glad you liked it friends! I thought such adventures may or may not be possible in future when age catches up, so why not do them now when body is in support! Do plan and do a road trip, it changes the way you see the world, and everyone else, who otherwise one just takes granted for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 It was my pleasure to share this trip with all you friends! Regarding the bike, GS150R is a superb tourer. Not even a hiccup by the bike! Riding comfort is good, and mile crunching was very easy and @tanveer: 10 days are really difficult to find, but it was kind of now or never moment. Also, I used the 26 Jan holiday, so effectively, I had to take 6 days leave for a 12 days holiday. Afterall, what's the use of all the accumulated holidays at the age of 60?
