Here is a short write-up of a trip I personally undertook in the month of January A group of 9 guys rode from Bangalore to Nallathambi Resort, Kolli Hills. Kolli Hills Road is famous for having around 70-75 hair pin bends in a drive of around 10 KM.
The Bikes which we took are listed as follows:
1. Bajaj Pulsar 200NS.:D:D
2. KTM Duke 390.:D:D
3. Bajaj Avenger 220.:D:D
4. Thunderbird TBTS(New Model).:D:D
5. Thunderbird TBTS(Old Model).:D:D
6. Bullet Classic 350CC.:D:D:D
So we had around 1900cc of absolute gems with us for a day ride of around 320 kms.
The route we undertook is Depicted below:
1. Bangalore to Salem.

The Plan was for us to leave Bangalore before 5 AM. But Like all thing Indian, we were delayed by around 20 Mins and So started from SilkBoard at around 5:30 AM. We took the Electronic city flyover out of the city and then proceeded leisurely towards Hosur. We had planned on taking a break at the McDonalds just ahead of hosur and so the 5 Bikes( All except 390) broke off into 2 groups and went on. Me and my Friend(Thunderbird TBTS new model) reached there around 6:15 and waited for others to arrive. We had a small impromptu photo-session with our Bikes and while we were having a cup of coffee, the others arrived. Some time here was taken by mutual introductions as we never had any time to catch-up before. There we came across an Issue with the Classic 350, as it was simply refusing to go above 70kmph as the pressure in gas casket was not building up. This was the reason they were going a bit slow. We stayed there till 7 and then proceeded forward. Again breaking into two groups...
