Bhopal to Delhi on a bike - First Timer - Help! Hello everyone, as the title suggests, i am planning to go to Delhi from Bhopal on my bike ( 2006 Apache 150, 85,000 kms run ). Can you please help me to finalise the route which i have to take as this would be my first long ride. The only longest ride i have done was from New Delhi to Jaipur to and fro. So i need all the help from you guys which includes what route to take, Where to stop for breaks, and how many kms should i travel at one go before i give my bike some rest. And i have heard lots of horror stories of the Bhind-morena stretch. Please advice me on what precautions should i take while travelling as i would be travelling alone.
I am planning to leave on May 25th at around 4 in the morning so that i can reach Delhi by 8 or 9 in the night. I had a chat with a friend who has been on this route several times and he said that it is easily do-able and i should not worry about the Bhind-morena stretch as i would be crossing that place around 2 or 3 o clock in the afternoon.
As there would be a case for rain too, can you please tell me some tips and tricks to pack my luggage. I would probably use a cramster saddle bag ( colt ) or a big ruksack which i would tie through bunjee cords.
Lastly, what all paper work of the bike should i carry. I have all the necessary documents and the bike is registered in Delhi.
I know there are lots of questions to answer but i would really appreciate if you guys could take out some time and help me out.
PS: there is also an option of transporting my bike through train but i am against it as i had a horrible experience 4 yrs ago when i came to bhopal. And i always prefer riding or driving myself rather then taking any form of publicc transportation.
Thanks
