First long ride in 12 years of riding bikes

Finished a 450 km trip to and from Somwarpet couple of days back on my 2 month old Bullet 350. Stayed in Jungle Stay by Bilwa Estate Resort. https://maps.app.goo.gl/vtvDcyEbZEpyBedm7 Left Bangalore at around 3.30pm Friday and came back home by 8.30pm Sunday. Took Nelmangala Channarayapatna Holenarsipura route to and fro. Roads upto Channarayapatna were great and thereon were broken. The last stretch was quite rough through jungle terrain. Visited Abbey Falls and Dubare Elephant camp one day. Takeaways: The bike is made for highways. Gun it at 100kmph, cruise at 80, ride spiritedly at 90, all the while maintaining its composure. Absolutely no back or butt ache even after returning home. Though knees started to cramp the first day in due to the straps of the knee guard being tight. Taking a 10 min break returned things to normal. Tracking the mileage through app showed a mileage of 58kmpl which I'm sure is incorrect. I must have messed inputting the numbers somehow. Driving with a puny halogen head light with incoming traffic blasting their LEDs on high beam gets too tiring too fast. Some good souls dimmed their headlights when I flashed mine. But most never bothered. Maybe night drives are not my cup of tea. There were a couple of scary situations at late night around 10pm riding through intense jungle with absolutely no traffic. First time going had the battery light start blinking suddenly and speedo needle going dead pointing at rest position (0 speed position) with the bike still running strong. Literally had my heart in my mouth since it was an absolutely deserted. With no network coverage, absolute darkness with not even a single road side light , in the middle of the jungle I was terrified and kept gunning the bike to prevent it from stopping. This continued for a good 10 minutes. At a point I overshot a turn and when I reduced the speed to turn back the battery light stopped blinking and speedo needle came to life. No issues thereon. For that night. The second time too happened in dead of the night around same time 930 I guess. Same deserted forest road same circumstances. The bikes starts over revving for a sec two three times. Like when you are driving and you pull in the clutch for a second and release it the engine revs up. Again same feeling of being terrified. Again hoping nothings wrong. Turns out nothing major happened. Still the intense feeling of driving alone in absolutely desolated dark roads with only the bikes sound for company is on the one hand terrifying and on the other hand exhilarating. All days trips to local sight seeing areas were a breeze. The road to Abbey falls was a proper jungly ghat section where I felt a more nimble and light footed bike would have absolutely felt at home. Though no disrespect to the Bullet which took on the roads with poise and elan without grumbling as long as you understood what the bike can and cannot do and kept within its limits. Couple of places where other riders acknowledged our group with waving hands and thumbs up bought a smile to my face and was replied with a salute for being the champs they were. On the whole being my first road trip in around 12 years of riding bikes the experience will hold dear to me . Hoping for more such rides ( with less terror elements thrown in) in the future. Cheers and thanks for reading. Have a nice day.
