Just too excited about this trip so starting the thread before we head out for the trip.

Who we are :- Soni ..Tushaar and Parth
Whats the plan :- 4000kms of pure riding ..forget work .. forget deadlines ..just be with our bikes
Where ?? .. New Delhi- Malshej Ghats .. Daman..Surat ..Dwarka ..Jamnagar ..Kutch .. Jodhpur..Udaipur..New Delhi
When : 6 days from now ( today being 30th July 2016)
So we are leaving on the 6th .. early morning .. technically 5th night

But before we hit this long journey we had make sure our bikes are in good condition. This plan came up a month back and ever since every weekend we took car of our bikes..fixed any minor issues it had.

I have done 92000 kms on my bike i had to do a lot of changes on it.. last being changing the Forks which was leaking oil.

Sharing a video for now..for our carb cleaning process we did last week. All of this just to make sure we have our bikes in good condition

this trip the entire concentration is on how heavy the rainfall will be.. have done a lot of stuff like.. i made a rain cover for the saddle bag.. even though they are equipped with rain cover.. but its the layer which is open on the other side..and rare wheel can splash a lot water. We will be riding even when it rains..though calculated riding .. so had to make these cover.. at home

will share the video very soon .. here are some pictures..

So now the part which will face the rear wheel is also protected and the saddle won't get wet .. Most bags do not have full protection .. it's justt the outer part and top and bottom.. but not the area which faces the tyre

After packing the sheet .. this is the size.. i can keep it my jeans pocket also.. my experiment with this extra protective layer was huge success.. total cost ..

2 mtr black hard plastic sheet 100/-
1 making/large size packing tape.. i had at home
staplers ..i had ..
Shoe lace which had a bit of elasticity ..
time spend .. 1 hr ..
