Pavana Ride Pics

Technocrat · 18th January 2008, 16:12

Hi guys,

After ages, I went on a small ride on last Saturday. There is dam in Pavana, a place near Pune which is around 45-55 odd kms from Chandni Chowk.

The weather was really good & quite Cold. We started at 6:15 am from CC.

I went on my current ride which is a 2003 Model P150 Classic

Here are a few pics from the ride :-)

Nice photographs Techno. This seems to be a peaceful place to spend a day.

Techno.. nice pics... You had posted these pics in Bn too, nice to see you here.

I see couple of p220s how does these machine perform on hiways?

Nice pics Techno. I thought you had P180 and Karizma? And now this P150. How many bikes do you have?

Technocrat · 18th January 2008, 19:41

@Lohith: Nice to see you here too

The P220s perform well on almost all the terrains provided there is no sudden failure. No issues performance wise

@Satish: Yes I had a P180 & then a ZMA. Sold of the P180 two years back & then the ZMA last year for some reasons & got my Bro's 150 which was lying idle since he moved to US. Its fair enough for city riding but makes me feel terrible on highways & thats why this was my first ride with this bike. Hoping to get a better ride sometime.

Good pics. Is this kind of a picnic spot?

Technocrat · 11th February 2008, 15:16

Not yet I believe, as we didn't spot any one other than us & haven't heard it being as popular either. There is no place to eat or drink in close vicinity, but Lonavla was around 17 odd kms from the Dam

spadival · 11th February 2008, 15:51

Is the road to Lonavla good? Seems like this is the way to go to Lonavla if you want a scenic route with less weekend traffic.

Nopes the road is not that good its narrow & with lots of gravel. Overall route is only suitable by bikes or SUVs
