Bajaj was sadly not replacing any parts or I would have got myself a replacement bike...

Day 1 log is put up, sorry for the delay....I was running in circles in morning. I had a crash on my bike about 2 months back, while I falling down a partly fell on right hand palm, ended up with a bad sprain in the wrist. Next morning the doc took and xray and said all is fine, give it rest.....been giving it rest and the pain did subside, but still got pain in certain positions....showed to the military doc here mumbai and they said I have a fracture in my wrist :eeK:, but since its been 2 months already the healing process is started....and now there is no need of a plaster or anything which should have been put earlier....damn that bengaluru doctor....I will take his case when I go back.

The good part is riding does not put stress to make my wrist hurt.

I finally read it. Nice trip you had there. And I noticed as well that you managed to keep good time as well with 5% no roads, 20% bad roads, you managed to do 660 kms in 14 hrs, that is pretty good for India.

I guess I'm tuned to riding on GQ roads too much where clocking an approx. 90Kmph avg. speed is given. eg: Chennai-Bangalore 350 kms in 4 hours.

The day we spoke over the phone, that day I had not even given the job interview. MBA plans are dropped for this year atleast. But hopes are still high, lets see if something happens out of the blue.

Can't make you remember your trip, kyunki phele toh I can't click as good pics as you and doosra this was not much of photography ride.

Thanks Ken Da, I guess it was going all guns on good and ok roads that saved a bit of time.

Log of the first half the trip is up.....sorry I have not been able to devote much time to it, since the ride is still in progress.

Thanks for the wishes.....Leg 2 starts in a few hours......

Heading to Pune, will check out Lavasa in the morning and hang out with the Pune xMen in the evening! The final return run to Bangalore starts Sunday morning.

Since Bombay is at MSL, the tuning is slightly leaned out and boy oh boy...the bike is now accelerating like a ROCKET.

Damn..I wonder when/where i would be able to gauge your bike's full potential!!
