Back breaks were hitting the road whenever I tried applying breaks while cornering and leaning in hairpin bends.Reached kolli malai at 12.30pm. stayed in rvr resorts room rent was 2700/- for 3. Nice stay but 10km away from semmedu which is the main town .

My wife said I will be sure and relieved of my anguish only when you come in person back home. My son told don't go too early cause I don't want to loose you. It took a while to convince them that uncertainty exists all around and told them to pray for a safe journey. My bike The bike was in good co
