My Legendary Green 'Bull....

This is  not a travel story but great moment for me. I got my most awaited Green Bull Alias Royal Enfield Standard 500, Forest Green.

Yes, Since the launch of Carburetor version of 500cc I have been dreaming to own the Green Bull, At last my dream comes true.



As per the plan Me, Karthik and Our own Pradeepettan went Kozhikode by train and Suraj went by bus, on 23rd Morning met at Bus stand and headed towards ABC Motors Perinthalmanna. Apart from taking delivery of my Green Bull I have also to take delivery of one Stone Black 350 TBTS for Mr. Chandrashekara Navada, my neighbor who is always busy with pooja work. 

At around 1100hrs both the bikes were delivered, after that we put the luggage and headed towards Goudnlupet, Tamil Nadu Via Neelambur.

First stop

On the way took breakfast and continued our journey, It's very hot in Kerala hard to ride on noon time. As soon as reached Tamilnadu border got little relief.

Attractive and useful modern Instrument cluster of TBTS

Somewhere near Tamilnadu Boarder... more green more happy.

As soon as start ride my Green Bull I start to observe one thing that is plenty of Torque and jerk free ride compared to the Fuel Injected 500. One can easly cruise around 50kmph in 5th gear, its really great for touring.

This is our Pradeepettan, a great RE Mechanic of Kasaragod, with a unique character. If you met him in first time definitely you can't understand him, very soft spoken, but once you get a seat inside his heart then he will be a good friend. He his expertise in all the RE models.
