Hello all,
I am planning a small endurance ride on NH4. the kms could/should be around 700-900kms.
I have planned this ride on 01-01-2016. Upon looking google maps I am thinking of doing a round trip like pune-belgaum-pune (710kms) or pune-dharwad (karnatake)-pune (total 850 kms).
Questions are as follows :
1. can 100kmph be maintained throughout, as I am not allowed to go past 100kmph fiancé says no :(
2. Can this be done in one day, I am thinking of leaving at 4:30 am from pune and hoping I will come back by 7 or 8 pm max.
3. Any other things to consider.
4. Latest road condition, I am aware of the stretch till Satara. later is unknown to me.
I have already done a 400km ride in day and that was not tiring at all. So I thought of this idea to double up the number as to I want to learn few things and gain few experience before I attempt the saddle sore. I want to slowly take steps as I am in no hurry. I took one at 400kms thinking of 800kms now, later 1200kms and then the saddle sore attempt.
Condition of the bike :
1. Shell Oil is 3300kms old
2. Air Filter is in OK conition
3. no signs of weakness as I have done numerous pune-mumbai-pune rides last month.
4. Tires are shitty contigos, nearing 20K kms but the ***** still has life left in it.
5. ATGATT is I have with me.
6. Any other thing I forgot, please highlight.
Tourer babas, gyaan ki roshni daaliye:)
Cheers,
Sanjay
