The Run begins - 30 Dec 2010 - AKA - Day 1

On 29th DEC 2010 night, I strap my cell phone to my head and put it in vibration mode so that I do not over sleep. At 4.00, my cell phone rings, I put it on snooze and sleep again knowing that there is still one and half hour before the ride begins. Soon, I snooze it again. And then again. And again. And finally I get up wondering how could my 15 mins snooze time get over in 15 seconds! Then I get shocked.. I have just 15 mins to reach the grouping spot and I am not even out of bed. so I break all previous records for multitasking, I take a bath and simultaneously brush my teeth all in 5 mins only to realize that in my endeavor to hasten up the process, I forgot to discharge the contents from my ass. So another 5 mins wasted in praying for the "DO". So now just 5 mins left and I gotta get dressed, pack my bedding, and put on the gear, and warm-up my bike. So I ask my bro to go help me put the gear, and I get the "I will kill you if you wake me up again" look from him. I put on the gear, rush downstairs, start the bike. Soon it settles to a steady idle. I see the morning light shining on the bike and I fall in love... yet again...

There, we see the mighty winzee in beds for some reason unknown to us (me and Antz). After having a serious discussion on "background effects with shit" by Anup and our sarcastic Alankar, we finally start moving at around 9.00 am. Then I start feeling lighter unaware that something is missing. Soon, we hit the nh-4 and we all start ripping (lol at 60 kmph). And reach McD by 10.00.

We decide that I and Antz will go back to satyen's home, collect the bag, return back, have breakfast, and all this in 1 hour. We are nearly 35 kms away from his place. I decide to rip my mini (oopsie, I meant micro) superbike, and reach there as fast as I can. We leave at 10.15am. I maintain Antz in my rear view mirror, top speed does not matter, engine is continuously kissing the rev limiter - no problem, I keep ripping. Finally, at 10.40, we reach satyen's place. Not bad for my bike, flying at 85 kmph of average speed.

. I collect my bag, turn around, and start our journey again. I tell anant that I believe that by bike has some fuel leak cos I have consumed 4 liters of fuel in just 100 kms from the filling reading the day before. I want to stop to check but we decide to do it at a petrol station. Soon, we are cruising at 75-80 kmph to join the group. Suddenly, my bike goes into reserve and I speed ahead to anant so that I can stop ahead of him at the next petrol station. I stop at the station but he somehow misses me. So I fill up, check for leakages and notice that the fuel pipe is loose. The irony is that I remember pulling out the pipe while cleaning the carb and I did not put it back... cursing myself, I start riding again. Soon, I meet Antz at McD to find that the rest of group has moved ahead.
They will be riding slowly. Meanwhile, I and Antz gobble up our 'happy meals'. And start doing what we do the best, ride hard. Soon, we get all sorts of roads. flowing corners, ghat sections, yawning-smooth and arrow straight NH-4 all along. After so much of strenous resting (our a$$es on the saddle) , all the morning, the breakfast has been digested so we decide to stop somewhere near kolhapur To have lunch. Worried of carrying our luggage, all lazybones decide to leave it on the bikes and mount our asses on the chairs. Here I realize a conspiracy against me.. I believed that in this ride everyone was PETA supporters... yup they are... except that, for them, PETA means People Eating Tasty Animals...
Oh dear, I wish I could have that tasty chicken dancing between 6 sets of fingers and mouths, but I am the only xbhpian who is having veg food. I wish everyone has constipation the very next moment so that I can provide myself a reason to not eat chicken. However (and gladly) no one had that patli t@tti or similar stuff.

So we move on... now that all of us mighty knights have been converted to stuffed chickens, we ride slowly. In fact so much that we are crawling at 85 kmph.The Nh-4 is so straight that we have all the time in the world to checkout the local scenery (pun intended). so I click a pic that can be classified as the stupidest pics ever on a bike...

Soon I realize my folly. Zipping at 90kmph requires nearly 50 meters for my bike to stop and god forbid if anything requires me to do that, I an gonna be a mosaic painting on the road. So I stop for a couple of pics.

Very soon, I am greeted by the view of Satyen zipping . I put my cam in sequence shot mode and push the trigger. The best pic that I got is this with Satyen zipping at 100 kmph+ speeds.

After this, alankar and me are at the last. The irony is that while i am on the slowest indian, the rest others are zipping far ahead. Infact so much that they take lotsa stops and click lots of pics. All I can put in my (piddly) short & lazy log are these pics.

by the time, I and alankar, group with the rest, one season of harvesting of fields has passed. The madness of random roads (and stuffed chicken in stomachs) takes the toll on satyen and he partially evolves into ravan (actually half to be precise). This is evident from the pics that we take at rest cum grouping cum posing break after a toll naka before we enter kolhapur.

then, as the chicken is digested, he calms down, and preaches about sanity...

So, I and sachin click give some proper poses for the pics...

and finally, we decide to ride ahead so I click the last pic...

Little do we know that this is gonna take up another 45 mins. We now gorge on omelets and bread, and tea. Soon, The gossip turns into horry story telling competition where everyone is narrating their own versions of horror stories. actualy, I get scared pretty easily so the moment the "horror" part starts, i put the headphones in the ear and enjoy the metal banging AC-DC in full volume. after the stories are over, we discuss and later decide that since most of the oncoming vehicles are using high beams and not lowering them despite our flashing, we will to fool them by riding in pairs and side by side, and thus fooling them into believing us as oncoming cars. This brilliant life saving strategy is suggested by our dear poojari gang leader i.e., Mr. Satyen. And finally after a lot of discussion on omelets, we decide on one point that we should move on.

An ingenious Idea (nothing short of eureka) strikes me, and I start slowing allowing everyone to pass ahead. I mutter to Antz that given a chance and no oncoming traffic, we can make most of the fun on the corners. So now, I and Antz maintain a distance of 50 meters from the next person (sachin nair). And just before every corner, the distance increases to 75 meters, then it drops to 40 meters and then it again comes back to 50 if there is no corner ahead. We do this for the next 30 mins till the time, the roads are good.

Turn left, checkout the restaurants there, and settle
Go straight into the sea, and if anyone can swim, reach home safely.
Go right, (there is nothing there) gaze around and again chose between the options from 1 or 2..

Ride on smooth tarmac, sweeping corners, breathtaking scenery, scary speed breakers, good food, potholed roads, night rides, and slow ghat sections, a night on the beach, awesome food, and booze. What more can I ask!
