  • [Photo Feature]: In Relationship with my bike from past 5years

    Okay Guys here is my first log for the trip i successfully made it... Solo \m/

    Total Distance = 430Km
    No of Days : 1 Day

    I was bit excited and doubtful whether i will wake up at that time as i planned to start at 5:30AM !! i Planned everything and kept all the documents in the bag and route was setup in navigator app (best offline navigation app according to me ) and optimized the route with the help of Google baba I plugged my phone for charging and went to bed. As all of us know that it never happens like planned in my opinion planned things will never happen like it should Thanks to my Roommate who woke me up at 5AM and i got up at 5:15AM. Then got freshened up and checked everything so as to assure i am not leaving anything behind. Went downstairs at around 6AM and Cleaned up my bike (Headlight and Tank alone ) and checked all the things and fired up the engine and after warming up i twisted the wrist to feel the Rumble of the Engine.At-last started on to the Road at 6:15AM Ridden my bike decently with occasional speed bursts as empty roads was tempting me so I twisted the throttle and touched 3 digits on my speedo occasionally. I was going on and at around 8:15 Am my belly asked me to give something. So i stopped at some Dhaba (Motel) Click image for larger version

ID:	1981328 section saw a slogan which i cant recollect. the slogan was on speed, romance something.After looking at that slogan i told myself i shouldn't ride fast but after looking at the luring curves of the khed ghat section opened my throttle and cornered my bike leaning it as far as possible I did this things only after feeling confident that my bike is under my control and the ghat section disappeared

    At-last Reached near shirdi region and i did a big mistake even after listening to sweet voice saying to take right i asked a person whether i should go from here to sirdi temple and that fellow asked me a ride to his home which is nearer to temple. he said he will show the shortcut which save 12km blah blah but the road shown by him was utterly poor and gave some nice blows to my back. After spending some time on that poor road i reached the Temple area i parked my bike at some floral shop and he was a good person who showed me some good space in a room to park my bike which can save some petrol from this scorching heat. I parked my bike and went for Darshan at around 1:15pm and came out at 3:15pm. Had my lunch and went to my bike cleaned my helmet visor packed myself with the gear and started off with my bike to return to my place. while returning stopped at some dab-ha to clean my helmet visor as it became very dirty while riding i ordered a tea and that tea was too good (ginger tea). I felt very good and energy came in after drinking that tea

    Successfully Reached my home following the sweet voice instructions of navigator app at around 10PM and had my dinner. That's it i can record and i am happy with average of my bike (55kmpl) even with those speed bursts

    BYE BYE Thanks for Reading....
