  • Rider on the storm

    Rider on the stormStranded on the highwayThe Hindu : Life & Style / Motoring : Rider on the storm


    P.S.
    I met him at Drass, on my way back from Leh. Infact, his friend mentioned here 'Vineeth' who got separated, stayed with us for a night in Govt. Guest House's, Dinning Room at Kargil. We couldnt get accomodation to stay at kargil, so had to request a care-taker & managed to get a corner in Dinning Hall. Later Vineeth joined us on Yezdi RoadKing. He was telling us, when we go further we may meet his friend coming down on M80 & convey the message, that Vineeth is waiting for them at Kargils guest house. I was shocked..!!
    The next morning we heading towards Drass & further, I see a guy in green florescent, riding a M80 with TN number plate. Without a single doubt, I came in his way & stopped him . Even he gave me a weird look, initially. He thanked, after me telling him about his friends whereabouts though. Crazy Guys ..!! Thats all I can say

    proves that you don't necessarily need a higher CC bike to do this kind of stuff....just your will power is enough.

                          Lot of us spend our entire life in thinking of doing things and then thinking of excuses why we can't, very few are blessed with the clarity and they just go ahead and accomplish whatever their heart desires.

                            Could have attempted some Iron Butt Challenges also.
