Previous	next

Next day we got by around 8. uff A bit of hangover. had some black coffee and read omlet. we decided to go for River Rafting. We reached the rafting hut by 12, we waited upto 3pm for our turn to come.


Around the tea shop




It was still drizzling and sometimes raining. Buy 3pm we were all set to go for the Raft!!


The rafting was excellent and the Guide had some good skills. It was 7km raft, had 4 rapids and had to dodge 3 whirlpools. I and Praveen took the steer position. So it was more fun at the rapids ;)



Check his expression when the guide said there are whiulpools ;)


The Start was cool and calm



First rapid


Approaching the second


woowwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!


Was hard to pose




Doing the Duties



All excited





By the time we left the place it was 5:30 and we need to travel the ghat section upto Mudigere. There were a lot of trees fallen on the road and had been cut to make the road. I was just praying that there should be no freshly fallen trees.


by 10 we reached Hassan. The rain looked to have eased up. But everything we had is already wet. The Cramster saddle bags proved Useless. I find that the new products from Cramster is utter waste. Previously they looked rugged and served the purpose. now its just a poser value. call it modernisation!! dammm..

We were near to Kollegal by 2:30. There the RTR developed some problem. Mohan had installed a safety remote lock, which has remote ignition. Due to the rains it went catapult. It start switching off the bike, turning the sirens etc.. I went really mad. Some how made it rest and had some snacks at CCD.

I and Praveen reached Nelamangala by 4, Then we got a call from Mohan. Expecting a major problem I received it. francis Spoke. he said the RTR killed itself when he was around 90 kmph and they are stuck at some 10 kms from Kollegal. I asked praveen to stay back so that if required he can get a pick up truck and reach the spot. But he said we can come back to get it, if required. The drive back was very painful. I and Praveen was sleeping all the over road. Some how we reached the spot. When I open the airfilter was shocked to see water again collected in the Aribox. Checked the engine oil and it was empty. So its a seizure for sure. By 6 Francis was able to get a minidoor auto and RTR was towed to bangalore.
