The text has been pretty engaging till now, although I cannot help but wonder how did it all end...

@ Aryan: be patient bro, i'm alive and well though so don expect too much

Once at Kolar CCD, I walked in asked for water and shielded myself from the chill. My mesh Fieldsheer Mach7 Jacket was working really well, that is, it was letting all the wind blow right through to my chest

I peeled an orange and ate it, healthy riding you see Around 7 I could hear the familiar thump of Dom's 500. A minute later he came in riding and I must say, the sight and sound of that 500 thumping into the car park did add another layer of goose bumps We halted for another five minutes washed up and then called up another friend who was to catch up with us.

My friend Kiran, he owns a Pulsar 180 classic, had decided to take a different route from his office in Tambaram through Tada. As luck would have it, he was to get lost and end up riding another 100 Km extra and almost made a tour of Andhra

So off we where at 7:30 to Bangalore. Dusk had settled completely and wind chill was at its max. Dom was to pilot while I was to follow like an obedient learner. It was my first stint in the dark and Dom was a pro. I was to learn how involving riding can be in the dark in the next 1 hour. We made up the distance between Kolar and Bangalore, 80 odd km, in an hour in the dark. And it was B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T.

Riding behind Dom was a very good experience. We where doing 80 to 90 constant in the dark, and Dom could continously signal to me to watch out for speed breakers, sand, water, dogs, stray pedestrians etc! the list is endless!

8:30 sharp we landed at Bangalore and were warm and cuddly in my friends place DD, aka Dead Dog by 9:30 with a beer in hand. Long story short, Kiran reached Bangalore only by around 12:00 freezing and hands shivering like a drug addict. 2 shot of brandy and a medium chicken manchurian pizza later he was snuggled up in bed sound asleep.

The real hero of the day, my bro Dhananjay a.k.a DJ marched in at 3 AM. He btw had ridden from Nagpur to Bangalore via Hyderabad with the Wanderlust from Nagpur. Wanderlust is the Nagpur Royal Enfield group.

Next day morning we where to leave for Ooty at 6.

To be continued....

@ Shadez,

My bro, or for that matter most of my friends, are not clickers. Stops are only for refreshment and unfortunately I guess it has rubbed off on me.
