Good road - bad road

Today's our Independence day. Mera(Hamara) Barath Mahan!!!

The sad part is that the terrorists did strike in J&K. When will it end?

The trip was great... While going to mysore I seldom touched 90kmph... The weather was pleasant and I didn't feel that need for speed.
On the flip side on the way back we got hit by rain just before Srirangapatinam and had to wait for half an hour for it to stop. Then again at Kengeri.. nothing in between... And that is where we kept touching 100kmph every now and then.

The road from Kengeri to Srirangapatnam is still under construction in places. But wherever it is done, it is worth it... We can easily cover that distance (120) in less than an hour once the road is done... Not on my bike... I couldn't/didn't go over 105kmph at any point of time :-( Even at 105 it felt good to handle.

The stretch from Bangalore to Kengeri is at best forgettable. Same for Srirangapatinam to Mysore.. We did the trip in 3.5 hours. Ketan was the pillion.

We saw one dog being run over by a black Bolero near Ramnagaram (Where Sholay was filmed) Then we saw two more dead ones within a few kilometers... Can't say who did it... but three dead dogs... Saw a couple of accidents en route too..
