Trek to Sudhagad fort

Date : June 20 2010

Destination :  Sudhagad fort

Who : Me, Deepak, Salil, Sanket, Arnod, Arjun and Sankets 2 friends (Renaldo & Ketan)

Me, Arjun and Doc were on bike and the rest were in sankets car.. Deepak was our trek guide..

About the fort :

Sudhagad fort lies very close to Pali (one of the Ashtavinayak devasthan). Its about 2 hours drive from mumbai. 

Base village Paachapur i suppose marks the start of the trek. Its about 20 kms from Pali.

The roads are nice and clean with the internal roads being built under the Pradhan mantri gram sadak yojana..

Trek : Its easy for starters like me who are arm chair keyboard warriors.. The actual trek is said to be of not more than 1.5 hours but i took my own time .. nearly 2 hours from the base to the top..

This was a ride i did this saturday (15th May 2010) for personal reasons.. thats the reason did not post this in the meets section.
Asked a good friend of mine who readily agreed.
So now we were two riders..

Black P220 - Vaibhav

Black Arrow.. All Black P220 arrives..

Happy to annouce the arrival of The Black Arrow.. My pulsar 220 dtsi finally arrived today with navi mumbai registration..

First Impression (Negatives) -

* Suspensions feel stiff..
* Display goes off - I dont know about this.. but if the bike is kept on idle for a while (like about 2-3 mins) the Display goes off.. Is this the inbuilt feature like Auto Off or some problem with the display.. Has anybody had this problem. Or Should i take it to the service station and get the display changed?

Some pics attached.. Thanks to Anup..
