Right from the childhood like many of you dream, I always thought of doing something different adventurous,adrenaline which could satisfy my inner instints of being happy with my life. Vexed with my office life in a short span of time and having the money in doing one it prompted me to do something which I should have done long before.Going through all the saddlesore's success and attempts I thought to check whether if it could show me what I wanted in life.
I was waiting for the right time and finally fixed a randowm date as 5-march would be my saddlesore attempt.Hyderabad to be specific has bad roads scattered all over the borders so it would be dead impossible to have a safe and successful journey.I have done a Hyderbad-Pune few months back i.e on NH-9 and the roads were in pathetic conditions with road patch up still going on for ages .Similar are the conditons of Hyd-vizag with worst roads on the suryapet and traffic moves at snail's pace.I just love to do it on the NH-5 but I have to start from vizag to do the vizag-chennai-vizag 1600 ss.later I discovered that bangalore route is an absolute treat to ride on and the Hyd-bangy-Salem route poked me to do it as soon as possible.I would like to thank Pabi(xbhp member) for helping me in giving inputs about the road the earlier day .I told to myself that I will continue only after I get to bangalore on the right time.
Got my bike serviced(pulsar 150 UG3) at castrol zone,kothaguda and got the stuff required for the journey...

I reached rethibowli indian Oil petrol pump at around 1.30am along with my friend as the witness and got signed the necessary forms and the card was swiped showing 2.16 am with odometer reading 39,143kms and then the journey started.Though familiar with the Airport road I got lost at the alam garh x road and was going to ramoji film cityroute.I asked the local people and came back and finally hit the NH-7.I was zooming past in triple digit speeds.My bike being a 2007 model and done around 39k kms was doing maximum 100-110 constantly.The road after the airpot became a single laned and the truck drivers were on high beam from the opposite direction.I put an extra 300 bucks leg guard light which came in handy during the night ride.The sign board showed kurnool about 100 kms more and I calculated to reach kurnool in 3 hrs maximum.MY bike headlight was not worthy and a sudden sharp turn made my throttle slow down and engine stopped working with a big loud sound.Damm!!! I thought this was it.My ride ended abruptly so soon.I cursed my bike for letting me down in the middle of highway with noone to help.After 2min I started my bike and wow It started gain.yeppie..I was on cloud 9 and started to cruise again . NH-7 is all straight road with less traffic during my ride and I passed kurnool and pulled over for the first petrol fill . I've made over 285kms in 3 and half hours.
