It had been quite sometime that i rode with Road Thrill and then i get to know about this event #Keralacalling ride to Regina Silva resort which is in Paithalmala. Immediately without even thinking informed the team to block a stay for me. 

I was all excited for the ride after looking at the pictures on the event page that was created by them. Early morning as usual reached the starting point first and was waiting for the group to join.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Review

Riderboy's Journey for 2019 starts with Interceptor review after a long break.  After RE announced a motorcycle with a twin engine for the first time, I was very keen to test the machine. I finally got a chance to ride the Interceptor for about 200km. The look and feel of the bike is just amazing. I can describe it as a retro and simple looking machine with clean lines. It draws attention from everyone. As soon as I mounted on the bike, I felt very comfortable. The Interceptor felt like a machine that was created just for me. I started the engine and surprisingly it sounded like a Triumph Bonnie.  I decided to ride the Interceptor to Krishnagiri, which is about 100 kms from Bengaluru.

Bangalore- Rameshwaram- Dhanushkodi- Kanyakumari- Munnar- Bangalore One week before the ride planned for a Solo trip as usual being a working class person wanted salary to hit the pockets to even start the trip. In the mean while i had a chat with my friend who was keen to join the ride and that became group ride with two of us, but not big numbers. We initially had discussed the plan to ride on the 2nd June 2016 to 5th June 2016{ Bengaluru- Valparai- Munnar- Thekkady- Periyar and Bengaluru}, all was ok and we decided to take tents and sleeping bags, not to book any accommodations anywhere in advance also. Day 1 {2-06-2016} Starting Point was at Jaguar showroom silk board at 5am and my friend had an hectic day previous day and had reached home late due to rains and was not prepared for the ride.
