This is my first thread ever...!!!
HI Guys, I too drove from chennai to coimbatore... Mine is a Pulsar 150 cc... started off here at perambur at 6.30pm and reached Coimbatore at 3am... that was one circuit which i enjoyed a bit, no much... breaked at 5 places. sengalpattu, vilupuram, salem, erode, avinashi, for teas and smoke. the best part it i kept irritating a volvo from salem to coimbatore got passed the volvo while entering salem. then volvo's driver was surprised when i crossed it with 113-115kmh, that excitment was just for 2-5 mins as i slowed down to 80-90 and he WISSSHHHHED me and dissapeared, i wonder that volvo might have averaged 100km/h GREAT. here with bike its hard to average 85-95km/h. however i managed to get to coimbatore just after volvo reached there hardly 10-20mins late. :-)... While starting at chennai it was very hot, but entering coimbatore at early morning it was VERY CHILL, which was a happy climate for the bike as it has run for hours together, but made me highly uncomfortable as i coudnt rise more than 30km/hr. thats one reason im late than that volvo heading to coimbatore, had to take hot teas every 20 km... to keep me going thru the chill breeze, ( dint have jerkins )... reached home at 3am... next day had a made my bike to treck , yap gone up to OOTY, WoW.. its amazing place to be on bike... had real fun climbing down.... as you can turn off ur engine and still race down, iam surprised when it raised to 70s and 80s without the ignition... might raise even more but you have hair pin bends to cut off your speed down. ***NOT A GOOD IDEA TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS YOU ALLWAYS HAVE TO KEEPS THE BRAKES ENGAGED, BETTER IGNITE TEH ENGINE AS THEY WONT ALLOW THE WHEEL TO SPIN FASTER THAN THE RPM*** Earlier have closed CHENNAI TO TUTICORIN IN 18 HRS (650KMS) -3 TRIPS MADURAI TO TUTICORIN IN 2HRS (130 KMS) - 15 TRIPS COIMBATORE TO MADURAI IN 3.30 HRS (230KMS) - 2 TRIPS TUTICORIN TO RAMESHWARAM IN 3 HOURS (180KMS) - 50+ TRIPS COIMBATORE TO OOTY IN 2 HRS (91KMS) - 2 TRIPS AS OF NOW MY TOP SPEED IS 115, heard about people racing more than 130km/hr !!! Left the bike there at coimbatore, and back to chennai to work now... ![]() |

Hi guys, iam all set for my next route from Chennai to Coimbatore, one of my friend he has got a second hand pulsar and he wants it at coimbatore, the seller of that bike said it will take some 10- 15 days to give the r.c as the bike still had dues left. my friend has tried book the bike on train, but the people at railway station refused to take the bike as it dint have the original papers. he gave the bike to me and asked me to bring the bike to coimbatore this weekend and he left. its 2008 model red pulsar 150cc, my friend has left to coimbatore today by train. and iam leaving chennai on saturday 24 4pm IST. Anyone leaving to coimbatore on this particular day can join me... its a open call to anyone...
