Khabatki ghats ride Video :)

Technocrat · 21st December 2005, 12:32

Went to khambatki ghats on Sunday with my pune biker gang(Rubber Smoking Angels)

The yellow ZMA in front is me

Though the ride was bumpy due to bad roads & traffic but It feels nice to see yourself on the VDO

The camera(Nokia 6630) was tied to the left RVM of a Pulsar 180 DTSi V1

Techno, downloaded and watched completed the video couple of times. Quality is excellent and reminded me of my couple of encounters with Khambataki. Once on a Bajaj Caliber (with friend) and then on my RX-135. Both the times, Khambaataki was total "paisa vasool"! I enjoy it in my Petra these days

Amazing! Watched it 3 times so far. The wheelie towards the end was like crazy

"abe one awesome video" ...

the camera man is a wicked rider man ...can you tell us what speeds you guys were touching ?

Technocrat · 21st December 2005, 17:37

we were doin around 50-70 the last stretch in the vdo I did 135 & on the next run I touched 140 on speedo crouching :-)

Yeah that chap is a good rider he does nice whellies too whihc he can carry till 2nd gear :-)

Wow! Is this when you descend from Khambataki towards satara side? I am always scared of going fast downhill on our roads. Though I think you can do it from the tunnel to the toll gate. (barring that poorly banked turn).

REPRESENT !!

btw. @techno - are any of the bikes moddeD???

Technocrat · 22nd December 2005, 11:01

@turbo_lover: satya knows me well & was pulling my leg :-) Most of the bikes had performance filters viz K&N & most of them were running with Pirellis at rear so were getting better banking angles than me :(

Mine was bone stock with bend mags(no impact on handling tho) bent handle, vibrating rear panel & the bike isnt serviced since last 2500 kms else everything was fine

@RX135: it was done one the way to mhabaleshwar. I get really scared in the tunnel, i enter as low as 60 & dare not to go above 100 because you never know when it has any oil or water splilled as its usddenly becomes dark inside :( but yeah after the tunnel its one mad ride till the toll booth :-)

Can someone tell me how far is it from pune? And is there a way to go there from Thane/Mumbai, without goin to Pune?

Thanks.

RX135 · 22nd December 2005, 21:01

powerslave, you dont have to go to Khambataki. You can go to Khandala/Khopoli/Bor Ghat. It will be lot of fun. Coming back to your question, it is around 70 km South of Pune. You can bypass Pune using DehuRoad-Katraj bypass.

Great videos. The pulsar does have vibe free RVMs and boy that phone just rocks.

Why were there boulders on the side of the road.

satya180 · 25th December 2005, 21:46

hi guys.. the cam is on my bike.. the mirrors r not totally vibe free as they get blurry at the redline.. and above 130 kmph it becomes almost impossible to figure out between a truck and a bike..
@mpower:: the boulders were there near the toll booth (bikes dont need 2 pay).. and later where the truck had broken down..
anyways im new to this site..good to see a clean site
