No, these trips have been done on TVS Suzuki AX100 1986, Mahindra Commander 1994, Daewoo Matiz 1999 and Mahindra Scorpio 2005, maximum in the Matiz. In my younger days, when I used to work for a company, I had no choice but to start off late in the evening on the bike straight out of office and drive through the night to make best use of leave. That way, most of my long trips were 24 hour plus (like say, Bangalore-Trivandrum, Bangalore-Mahabaleswar, etc). I also undertake many official trips by road. All my holidays since 1994 are by car, except those outside India. I keep meticulous logs of all my trips (dating back to 1986), hence I have more retention ability! I always do certain sectors non-stop, like Bombay-Bangalore, Bombay-Trivandrum, Bombay-Delhi, etc.
