Hello guys welcome back to my channel Follow jack
00:08.5
00:13.3
we successfully finished Indonesia series and returned empty handed
00:13.4
00:18.2
yes after finishing the trip we're planning a place
00:18.3
00:23.1
and I thought to have a ride with my vehicle
00:23.2
00:26.9
after Thenkasi and Theni we did Indonesia trip
00:27.0
00:31.8
time is 7.25 and I planned to leave from 6 AM
00:31.9
00:36.7
but I'm late as usual and I packed my things well
00:36.8
00:41.6
if you aske me where I’m heading
00:41.7
00:46.5
I planned to leave solo
00:46.6
00:51.4
I got an information about a group ride now
00:51.5
00:56.3
I hd that experience twice in my life
00:56.4
01:01.2
Usually when I owned a Himalayan
01:01.3
01:06.1
in 2017-18 was my first and last group ride
01:06.2
01:11.0
and after that due to poor cooperation
01:11.1
01:15.9
of vehicle, I gave that away and using this one
01:16.0
01:20.8
I thought will they accept this bike for group ride
01:20.9
01:25.7
the people there will have higher CC bikes so
01:25.8
01:30.6
they need to accept us as we need to ride along with their speed.
01:30.7
01:35.5
if one or two persons it will be okay and
01:35.6
01:40.4
we need to match 20 people and I applied with doubt but I got it
01:40.5
01:45.3
so credits to number plate gowtham along with
01:45.4
01:50.2
wrong turn club sajath, they're the ones who organises this group ride
01:50.3
02:29.2
"Rock music"
02:29.3
02:34.1
approximately 50-60 persons are coming in this group ride.
02:34.2
02:39.0
and I'm so much excited to meet new people
02:39.1
02:43.9
and the experience going to have
02:44.0
02:48.8
the bond and friendship I'm going to get is the best thing in travelling
02:48.9
02:53.7
that is a wonderful thing
02:53.8
02:58.6
and both me and my bike had loose bolt and nuts!
02:58.7
03:03.5
no we fixed everything and I hope everything works well
03:03.6
03:08.4
the group ride is starting from Chennai to Thekadi
03:08.5
03:13.3
It’s a three day plan and I will explain it later
03:13.4
03:18.2
they're starting the ride and coming from 3.30 A.M
03:18.3
03:23.1
I think they gave breakfast timing in ulundoorpet and now probably they may have their breakfast
03:23.2
03:28.0
so it will take 2hours for us to reach Trichy
03:28.1
03:32.9
so I planned to reach theni directly because
03:33.0
03:37.1
as we can’t keep up with the speed of their bikes
03:37.2
03:42.0
so if we move forward it will be easy for them to reach us
03:42.1
03:46.9
we're crossing the famous saastra college in Trichy and time is 7.30
03:47.0
03:55.4
"Pleasant music"
03:55.5
04:00.3
the specialty in November and december are
04:00.4
04:05.2
we can see greenery everywhere as it’s constantly raining
04:05.3
04:10.1
we can't see any dry areas
04:10.2
04:15.0
for the first time we can observe paddy-fields with complete greenery here
04:15.1
04:19.9
it resembles what i saw in Thenkasi
04:20.0
04:24.8
it's also pleasant weather here
04:24.9
04:29.7
it's cloudy here
04:29.8
04:34.6
so we have reached the Trichy toll and it took me 40 minutes
04:34.7
04:39.5
so speed was maintained at 70-80 by me
04:39.6
04:44.4
not that much fast or slow and we can survive free access to the toll and
04:44.5
04:49.3
if they charged for bikes it will be hard and I guess it’ll happen soon
04:49.4
04:54.2
as we can see the inflation issues, spit cautiously
04:54.3
04:59.1
even though the world has changed
04:59.2
05:04.0
the habit of spitting on roads never changed, a short route has been displayed
05:04.1
05:08.9
okay it tells not to enter town and have to enter outer ring road
05:09.0
05:13.8
this road? It’s been 1 year since this road has been layed
05:13.9
05:18.7
I'm entering for the first time
05:18.8
05:23.6
okay it's Rameshwaram - Madurai and it's like Madurai joint
05:23.7
05:28.5
time is 8.30 am and it’s the time when school and college students usually commute
05:28.6
05:31.6
so it's a hectic thing to go through town
05:31.7
05:36.5
it will be a traffic jam from Sevvaikudi to Milkcolony
05:36.6
05:41.4
instead of going there we can use this freeway
05:41.5
05:46.3
as it's empty, look those paddy fields
05:46.4
05:51.2
road is on another level !
05:51.3
05:56.1
"Pleasant music"
05:56.2
06:00.5
"Train Horn"
06:00.6
06:05.4
okay, we have railway crossing in our path also
06:05.5
06:10.3
oh it's so much crowd in a short time
06:10.4
06:15.2
"Pleasant music"
06:15.3
06:20.1
I can thank Gmaps for suggesting this greenery way
06:20.2
06:25.0
Because we'll travel on highway
06:25.1
06:29.9
I think this willl join in NH-45
06:30.0
06:34.8
actually it's right and I'm searching for a shop to have breakfast
06:34.9
06:39.7
okay, I guess they’ll have idly, bro do you have any food?
06:39.8
06:44.6
no breakfast? okay is there any other hotels in this road?
06:44.7
06:48.1
oh nearby...thank you brother!
06:48.2
06:53.0
he said there will be a hotel nearby and my stomach got upset of not having anything
06:53.1
06:56.9
okay I found the shop
06:57.0
07:01.8
Christ University is the college I studied but this one is the Trichy version
07:01.9
07:06.7
I studied in Tanjore , okay
07:06.8
07:10.4
he is making dosas!
07:10.5
07:15.3
usually I always prefer vegetarian foods in travelling time
07:15.4
07:20.2
at any cost it won’t disturb us
07:20.3
07:25.1
I got piping hot idly from them I ordered 4 idlies
07:25.2
07:30.0
then I resumed my trip and that pint a surprise was waiting for us
07:30.1
07:34.9
they had this Husky dog outside and see how cute it is
07:35.0
07:39.8
it looks like owner's dog, hello!
07:39.9
07:44.7
What’s your name? okay chill buddy
07:44.8
07:49.6
okay don’t bite me please!
07:49.7
07:54.5
bye , are you willing to come along with me in the ride
07:54.6
07:59.4
we will restart our journey now
07:59.5
08:04.3
Exactly Theni is 160 Km from here
08:04.4
08:09.2
Sathis also had breakfast now and resumed his ride from tollgate
08:09.3
08:14.1
I think it's samayapuram tollgate and it will take
08:14.2
08:19.0
him 1-1.5 hours to reach us and I told I'll wait on the next stop
08:19.1
08:23.9
so he will ride continuously and
08:24.0
08:28.8
we can stop at a rest pint in 30-45 minutes
08:28.9
08:33.7
when I thought I was the only person who rides in 100cc scooter, I got a company now
08:33.8
08:38.6
he is none other than the satheesh I have mentioned he is also from Chennai
08:38.7
08:43.5
his bike is hero honda glamour with 100cc
08:43.6
08:48.4
We have texted and planned to go along
08:48.5
08:53.3
but nothing is happening right to our plans
08:53.4
08:58.2
like roadblock, our vehicle is showing some issues
08:58.3
09:03.1
my scooter made auto sounds in midway
09:03.2
09:08.0
you have a surprise, I think you already found that
09:08.1
09:12.9
while riding in highway the sound has changed
09:13.0
09:17.8
I thought the exhaust got burned but
09:17.9
09:22.7
the exhaust valve head got loosened
09:22.8
09:27.6
so if we can find a mechanical shop
09:27.7
09:32.5
we can fix that head
09:32.6
09:37.4
brother, exhaust head got loosened, can you fix that?
09:37.5
09:42.3
can I put it on side-stand ?, it gives me many hardships
09:42.4
09:47.2
Recently I did full service for this scooter
09:47.3
09:52.1
what are you saying? -gasket is damaged
09:52.2
09:57.0
guys our gasket is damaged
09:57.1
10:01.9
so spares are not available here
10:02.0
10:06.8
they said me to try in Dindugul, but I heard that the showroom has been closed
10:06.9
10:11.7

10:11.8
10:16.6

10:26.5
10:31.3
till then we'll maintain in 60-70 and
10:31.4
10:36.2

10:36.3
10:41.1
Theni is 90Kms from here
10:41.2
10:46.0
I got the info that spares are ready in Theni
10:46.1
10:50.9
I have to call them to confirm once I get their numbers from my peers
10:51.0
10:55.8

10:55.9
11:00.7

11:20.4
11:25.2

11:40.0
11:44.8
I reached vespa showroom of theni in 1 hour
11:44.9
11:49.7
I placed vehicle in the garage and everyone went for lunch break
11:49.8
11:54.6
Luckily there was a guy inside
11:54.7
11:59.5
I explained him the issue and I finished my lunch during the service
11:59.6
12:04.4
finally I stopped at this showroom and now I'm relived
12:04.5
12:09.3
they advised me to have lunch while they fix
12:09.4
12:14.2
time is 1.45 here and
12:14.3
12:19.1
our group haven’t left Dindigul yet, so we have some time
12:19.2
12:24.0
if they fixed soon, it’ll be fine as I also informed them in the group
12:24.1
12:28.4
this is the showroom in Theni
12:28.5
12:33.8
it's called KPP motors and they responded quickly
12:33.9
12:38.7
they also sent the location and guided me
12:38.8
12:43.6
I'm leaving my bags to have lunch at nearby restaurant
12:43.7
12:48.5
I hope it’ll get fixed
12:48.6
12:53.4
there is a brand new scooter is here which is same colour as our bike, but it looks plain
12:53.5
12:58.3
let's ask them for an exchange? no they will beat me with slippers !
12:58.4
13:03.2
this vehicle gives me so much of headache
13:03.3
13:08.1
they said some nut and bolts are loose
13:08.2
13:13.0
they tightened with new bolts
13:13.1
13:17.9
we'll join our group as everybody is calling me now
13:18.0
13:22.8
we'll leave from this Theni town
13:22.9
13:27.7
now there will be a petrol bunk in Chinnamannur
13:27.8
13:32.2
so will head towards there,
13:32.3
13:37.1
Showroom Service was too quick without any slacking
13:37.2
13:41.5
it saved our time and I did my lunch too
13:41.6
13:46.4
I had 2 hours time difference with the group riders
13:46.5
13:51.3
but due to the halting now our time got synchronised and I met some in bypass
13:51.4
13:56.2
guys our group got divided into two teams
13:56.3
14:01.1
as some coming slowly, maybe they face issues like us
14:01.2
14:06.0
so 1st team went ahead now
14:06.1
14:10.9
I took a nice drone shot and they passed during that time
14:11.0
14:15.8
I think it's around 15 bikes
14:15.9
14:20.7
one guy had Himalayan and he waits for me
14:20.8
14:25.6
he calmly responded to me
14:25.7
14:30.5
Brothers do cross road with caution
14:30.6
14:35.4
guys this is our group
14:35.5
14:40.3
sir![SPEAKER NOISE]
14:40.4
14:45.2
he said he will meet us in the spot
14:45.3
14:50.1
mukesh is coming behind me and you're the first to cross me
14:50.2
14:51.5
-who're with you?
14:51.6
14:55.4
I'm riding alone, -your bike got breakdown, right?
14:55.5
15:00.3
yeah I got it fixed, silencer's nut issue and I fixed it
15:00.4
15:06.6
[UNKNOWN WORD] -they said about this junction...
15:06.7
15:11.5
the junction before you guys catched the bridge
15:11.6
15:16.4
I turned there only and I waited to take one drone shot....
15:16.5
15:21.3
so it will be awkward for everyone when you guys meet for the first time
15:21.4
15:26.2
and we’ll envy of other's bike and when we wait for other team
15:26.3
15:31.1
and leaving together made us to mingle
15:31.2
15:36.0
and in Theni 15-20 Kms Chinnamanur is located
15:36.1
15:40.9
and I took a drone shot and we had a convo with others
15:41.0
15:45.8
"Pleasant music"
15:45.9
15:50.7
we took beautiful drone shots
15:50.8
15:55.6
near a rice field, the idea was give by Number plate Gowtham
15:55.7
16:00.5
and he went there before of us
16:00.6
16:05.4
and choose the spot and then organised everything
16:05.5
16:10.3
we took cool drone shots which was pleasing to see
16:10.4
16:15.2
During the sunset the location was terrific
16:15.3
16:20.1
now we're going to a campsite near Thekadi
16:20.2
16:25.0
and it shows travel time is 1.10 hours
16:25.1
16:29.9
and it's like entering a forst as it's getting too dark
16:30.0
16:34.8
and sceneries are amazing here
16:34.9
16:39.7
Kerala means rains and vice versa
16:39.8
16:44.6
I don’t know why raning here will be fun
16:44.7
16:49.5
each drop will make you to admire
16:49.6
16:54.4
it's slight downpour while heading to thekadi and all riders
16:54.5
16:59.3
stopped to put rain covers and splittted but our group
16:59.4
17:04.2
will give updates in our group so we will
17:04.3
17:09.1
reach the same location and at one point we felt when we'll reach campsite
17:09.2
17:14.0
but once we reached the site we thought they will rest but
17:14.1
17:18.9
it was total opposite and we introduced ourselves
17:19.0
17:23.8
it was a camp fire with intro session and
17:23.9
17:28.7
each said their origin and experience and we learnt about each individual
17:28.8
17:33.6
and this day one ending was with food only
17:33.7
17:38.5
so we had hot rotis and chicken gravies
17:38.6
17:43.4
and we took rest in our tents
17:43.5
17:48.3
and had a blissful sleep
17:48.4
17:53.2
mind was refreshed when I saw the view of the campsite
17:53.3
17:58.1
when I doubted whether I can go to a group ride with a scooter
17:58.2
18:03.0
they accepted me and gave opportunity to have new friends
18:03.1
18:07.9
I'm thankful to Gowtham and wrongturn club
18:08.0
18:12.8
you may saw my day 1 journey, ven I had scooter issues
18:12.9
18:17.7
I reached my destination with my sasha, yes it's my scooter's name
18:17.8
18:22.6
so day 2 will start the brotherhood bonding
18:22.7
18:27.5
you will see beautiful moments of this winter ride in next video, thanks for watching this video guys
18:27.6
18:32.4
