160 kms of Kerala, on an Electra

Last week was the offsite (with wife) organised by my office at
Kovalam, southern Kerala. The first two days, full of work were
followed by 2 chill madi days.

Decided to hire a bike, all I found were bulls, settled in for an
electra, roamed around trivandrum, poovar and kovalam. The first time
i rode a bull (felt like the king of the road) and adjusted decently
well to the reverse foot controls (got confused at times while
breaking and downshifting on turns) - almost had a crash in the greasy
conditions)

Rode in the Rains, with the lovely Kerala countryside.

Met Jay, our local Nomads to help us find amazing crabs and
prawns on the kovalam beach (got sick of the north indian-ised food at
the Leela) with the lovely Arabian Sea breeze with KF.

All in all, a wonderful 2 days, only 160 odd kms though...extremely
satisfying.. :) Lots of cocunut trees, sand, sea and the rain.
