Bikers Life

This diwali, I decided to go Udupi , karnataka with one of my friend. This was a three day tour. We decided to visit Saint Mary island on second day and Mangalore the third day. On first day, we visited temples in Udupi. Udupi is famous for its temples and literally known as city of temples . First Day - Landed in Mangalore, visiting UDUPI temples We avoided train for saving time. Our flight landed in Mangalore at around 4 pm. Airport is on the mountains, has low rush. You will not find autos there. Only cab we find was prepaid taxi which was asking 1250 for a ride to Udupi. We were going to walk to NH66 that runs along the sea. Luckily we found a man from Udupi that accompanied us to NH66 in a cab for 400 total. From highway you will find a lot of intercity buses that go towards Udupi.  We had a lunch in shree skanda restaurant near bus stop. Then we took a bus to Udupi. Weather is always awesome there.  We stayed in Shri Ram Residency Hotel. It is at...

Yesterday, I got my clutch plate completely destroyed. It was a bad day, I had to drag my bike for 3 hours. Finally at some mechanic tuned it so I could atleast drive to service center. Some research was done and some will be done later. You can see some videos to check how clutch plate works along with gearbox and flywheel. I list down some point to let you know how not to stress your clutch plate.  At first when clutch plate will wear out, you will get a burning smell coming out. Then you should take it to service center first instead of going further because it is still in working state not completely dead yet. If you are twisting throttle on and RPM is increasing but bike is not picking up then it indicates some problem with clutch plates. Perhaps they are burnt or wearing out. Avoid uphill rides. Just avoid them. I had a pulsar and with a pillion rider, I was twisting throttle and bike was barely moving. Sometimes later I smelled burning smoke. That day, it worked ...

If you live in Mumbai, you will have heard about karnala bird santuary . It is a famous weekend tourist spot for mumbaikars. It is located around 60 km from Mumbai and 10 kms from Panvel town. It is well managed now as of 2015 is getting over soon. Not only it is nearest of all spots from Mumbai but also mumbaikars believe that this place is beautiful unlike others. If you live in  Mumbai  you must visit once atleast here. I had already visited here in 2011. That time this place was very unsafe to trek. Now scaffoldings are there, path has been normed out, rain sheds have been build on the hill. People come in many a number than ever. They are mainly students and trekkers. There is a normal set of guidelines people have to follow for this trek. 1. Try to wear shorts, tight grip shoes that will make climbing steep spots easy. 2. Avoid taking food as monkeys are here to snatch food. 3. Avoid trekking in rainy day. 4. Have sufficient amount of water before starting the ...
