| BANNED | 53% people voted for the mumbai-pune expressway. No , i wasnt surprised. I had the same notion till i rode around india in 2006. there are far better highway sections around India than the Mumbai-Pune expressway : 1) Golden quad between kishangarh and Chittor. The highway is a lil elevated, you can see for miles and miles and no matter at what time you are there, traffic is always next to zero. This is also where i lived my fast stint yet on a bike. 2) Pune-Blore highway, specially between pune and Belgaum. What awesome curves, smooth tarmac, roads curving in front of you for miles and miles! 3) Golden quad section between Bhubaneshwar and Kolkata : the whole stretch isnt 4laned yet, still there are sections, 4lanes on each side, elevated, not a single soul around. You can even land a Jet here easily! 4)Golden quad between chennai and vijaywada : Just too good. We managed 800+kms from chennai to secundrabad, via vijaywada just coz of the awesome roads from chennai to vijaywada (On the CBR, Blazes and a Comet)      The above roads are in India, yes they are. The real best roads are out there somewhere, go explore Last edited by BunnyPunia : 26th April 2007 at 14:44. |

| BANNED | akroy : yep, it was a shame to see the superb highway come to an end ..into a single lane village road at the border of orissa! Otherwise, i agree, once finished, chennai to Kolkata will be a breeze |

Also in the Northern side of Orissa, entire bypass of Jaleswar is done expect at the border where the one small bridge is not done... I just hope that they complete all these patches so that Jaleswar - Ichchapuram can be a breeze like the AP stretch... Abhi | |

| The two best roads I have travelled are: Vijayawada to Chennai: The highway is a four-laned butter smooth road. When I entered the highway, I was surprised to see the smoothness of the road and my astonishment continued till I reached chennai. I have not seen a single pathole throughout this 425-km stretch. The road is so smooth that I count on my fingers how many times I travelled less than 80 kmph. and second road is Chennai to Pondi: Though it is a sinle lane, it is a visual treat to travel through this road. It is buttersmooth and well marked. There are enough twists and straits a riding soul would want. I encountered these roads, during my trip to Nagapattinam in Tamilnadu from Hyderabad. I was the solodriver and enjoyed thoroughly with my WagonR . Waiting for the time to drive again on these roads. |
