I would say impressive, if he was only 45 minutes late than he should be able to do it in his second attempt.

The thing to note here is that he tried this on a Unicorn which in itself is highly commendable effort. Way to go man, with better wheels i am sure you'll be able to do it.

being 45 mins late on the very first attempt on a 150cc bike is highly commendable.

cheers

Thanks guys.

Finally after spending numerous hours pondering over which route to take, what all mods to do, etc etc, I managed to ride before the year ends.

It was one unforgettable ride. Just a few less mistakes/slightly better road between Hubli and Chitradurga and would have managed to do Pune-Bangalore-Pune in under 24hrs.

Just got free from attending pending mails. Will do a small writeup (no pics, so please excuse) on the ride.
