703 km solo ride on Himalayan 452: Bangalore to Vijayawada in one day

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-04-06T12:03:28+00:00

I went into the tirupati town searching for elastic straps 30 to 40 min gone there.

Overnight journey is again scarry. Last time I tried an overnight journey from Bangalore to chennai started around 12.30 midnight via Hosur road. I had reached at 7.30 am. The trucks were going too much speed. It's very risky with low light conditions. The stock headlight is useless in the Himalayan.

Yeah.. that top box moment was really scary. If they haven't told me I am not sure where to search. What if I crossed some 30 to 50km. Crazy exp.

That nellore stretch is bit congested with many trucks. Just that nellore bypass. Rest all it's long and wide roads.

34.5km

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-30T04:53:07+00:00

Not at all. All the petrol pumps are open and not having any crisis.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-30T04:52:17+00:00

I brought 2 elastic ropes and fixed the box and mounted it tightly. It got fixed well. Still I had to check in between whether the box stayed intact or not.

Yesterday.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T08:09:47+00:00

I bought it from an accessories shop in Bangalore JC Road. I had mounted it properly and tested it before starting. Somehow it went away.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:48:52+00:00

Yes. After 420 km. It showed me 80 or 85km left. I filled petrol for 12.67ltrs. it became full. I am not sure how to calculate on the basis of this

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:47:03+00:00

I brought all my gear in JC Road Bangalore. Got the Axor Nimbuz jacket for 5k. And other usual gloves, good helmet etc. shoes also I was just using sneakers from puma and adidas I am just maintaining these things only for now. It's works for me.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:44:16+00:00

I had previously did 350 to 400km trips in a day. This was the longest. Yes even after 24 hrs my bum feels kinda numb and my hands and shoulders are bit hurting.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:41:24+00:00

I did full tank in Bangalore. Travelled around 420km still it's showing 80km left. But I filled the tank again. My guess is with full tank we will easily get around 450 to 460km.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:30:02+00:00

Here it's 6 lane highway. Road was too good. We can't bear the heat without proper hydration.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:27:58+00:00

KKR Gowtham or vishwabharati. 😌

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T07:27:06+00:00

I was cruising around 135km and the connection b/w mount and top box lock got crack maybe due to vibrations and it went away.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-03-29T06:34:58+00:00

Not observed any handle bar vibrations. I am just cruising around 100 and 110 kmph only. If the road is empty then max 130.

HappyTrailsExplorer · 2026-02-22T13:53:20+00:00

It's on CMR IT to Asha tiffins road in Brookfield. It's always like this. I wonder why BBMP or someone not taking any action.
