We finally are on the road again!. AOM in Bangalore did an amazing job with our RE 500... well maybe is not anymore an Enfield. We call her "la rana" (the frog).

We did a short trip from Bangalore to Mysore. Roads are better than I thought. Nice road is...really nice but short if you are going via Mysore Rd. The only complaint is the innumerable bumpers and speed breakers. Riding close to towns or villages you will find them every 1-2 km.

We left Bangalore around 10.30 am and reach Mysore at 2. It is possible to do it in 3h but then you miss breakfast at the side of the road and sugar cane juice :p.

Otty is our main destination this week. We'll keep updating.
;)

Especially thanks to Art of Motorcycle team. We arrived with a classic 500 and 3 weeks later we left with an amazing expedition vehicle and so many friends.

We miss you already Bangalore. Fantastic weather, delicious food, crazy traffic and... best guys ever!. Hasta la vista baby!
