CHAPTER 5 - “Beautiful fear”

Day5 (Wed) – 23rd Nov 2016

Route - “Kushinagar – Gopalganj – Mujaffarpur – Darbhanga – Kishanganj - - Purnea - Siliguri 600 Kms

"Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood and will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble and logical plan never dies”.

Making plans and executing the same, is one story but making plans and everything goes exactly according to plan is an another story altogether. We planned for 600+ kms on our Day 5 where we were supposed to cross Bihar, UP and reach Siliguri directly from Kushinagar. Yes it was kind of an impossible task because the route was completely new for us and we were supposed to ride through Bihar which was a task in itself, moreover we were completely unaware that something tragic is about to happen. Here we go…

According to our plan we woke up at 5.30 AM sharp because leaving early was the only option to reach Siliguri atleast by 8.00 pm because we did not wanted to ride in Bihar highways during night.

The weather was very very cold, all the warm clothes were out and was functional now after 4 long days. It was still all dark when we connected to highway proceeding to our destination. To our horror the weather was so foggy that we could not even see the vehicle which was parked or in running state or whatsoever even 10 meters ahead of us. It was really a very boring task to follow any vehicle which was running ahead of us but that was the only option left so that we keep moving and cover miles. When it became really unbearable we took a halt for some garma garam tea because riding on 20 kmph in early morning when you are already feeling sleepy is not an easy task.

We met few truck drivers at nearby dhaba where we took a first tea break, they were obviously surprised to see me riding and here is when they asked the funniest question “From Where – AM-RI-KA?” We both laughed in such a way that our eye balls were popped out

hahaha
We said “Hum log Bihari hu, India ke hi ha” haha(We are biharis, from India only) and then their award winning expressions “Dunu log alag alag bikewa pe kiha ja rahe ho, aur ee tho Maharastra ka gadi lagat ha” (Both of you on 2 different motorcycle, where are you going? And this bike is of Maharashtra) and this way we answered few of their funny question, Later we said that we are from Mumbai and they also taught us few bhojpuri words – Funny it was

We proceeded back to our bikes because fogs were not ready to get clear up at all. We were tensed because it was 8.30 in the morning and since morning we hardly rode for 50-60 kms.

Later around 10.00 the weather turned to be better and Sun god was clearly visible which gave us chance to ride on 100 + kmph continuously to cover up as much as distance as possible.

Not to forget the High way of Bihar was Superbly SUPER but the sad part was there was sudden big deep potholes even on fast lane which force you to dump into it because when you are on 100 kmph how much brake would you be able to apply?

We were on good speed and also we covered good kilometers because around 2.00 pm we covered almost 400 kms which wasn’t bad at all.

We carried few bananas and apples and oranges and dry fruits and biscuits and……many things with us in fact even Sachin was mentally Prepared ki “AAJ Khana NAHE milne wala” (“No Food Today”).

So far Bihar treated us really very well with just few egoistic Bolero and TATA Sumo Drivers who were hurt whenever we overtook them. We made sure we don’t overtake them but in some cases we had to overtake, just be sure that you fly away like a Rocket so that they cannot rashly overtake you again. <Zip-Zap-Zoom>

It was 3.00 pm in the evening and “Siliguri” was just 250 kms more around Kishanganj, we were relaxed that we would easily make it to Siliguri least by 8.00 pm but we have never ever got anything in our life so easily.

We took a halt to have some bananas and dry fruits because it was too monotonous to ride on straight smooth roads, I was relaxing my back on roads and Meantime Sachin was clicking the pics. Suddenly Sachin’s tensed voice made me jump out of my sleep. He said that my bike Rim has bend and the air pressure looks less in the rear tyre.

He asked me to recollect where this tragedy would have occurred and I clearly remember it was the spot where Sachin was riding ahead of me and we were on 110 plus kmph, suddenly after very smooth buttery road there was just one huge and deep pothole on the fast lane where I wasn’t able to stop my bike and there was no other way then to collide into it, Sachin somehow saved himself but till the time I could have realized I was already in it.. my bike went in such a manner which impacted my right hand side rim, if it would have gone straight into the dump it wouldn’t have impacted my rim, but a serious Thanks to Jarvis to save me otherwise I was so imbalanced that I thought I would have bumped into a divider or crashed or something….

Now the biggest Question how do we fix this? Sachin called his friend Bhojraj who also looks out for our bikes wellbeing; he suggested us to put 110 or 100/17 size Tube inside our tubeless tyre which would help us to atleast complete our journey further

Day 5 and Rim bend!! Oh God I was so disheartened, discouraged but we got to find a way out.

We were somewhere near Kishnaganj and luckily located a mechanic. we asked him about the tube which would fit 140 sized CBR’s tyre, bhojraj told us that it would easily fit in CBR 250 but the mechanic said that he does not have 120 sized tube but the lesser mm tube would also not create problem. The mechanic was such an As***** when we told him the story about how all this happened he started advising that “You should ride slow how can it go into pothole, I will put the tube but only god can save you”

In short that idiot was trying to say that I should have rode on 50kmph on butter smooth highway and I got a dream that there is some bad pothole in the first lane, and what god will save you, Can’t you fix the thing, who is mechanic? I mean seriously had he lost it?….

I was so angry that I asked him to step away from Jarvis and better shut down your shop because even god can’t help you.

Sachin and I left from that place immediately to reach Kishnaganj which was another 20 kms from the spot. Enquiring and struggling when we entered the market of Kishnaganj, the road was so smaller in size widthwise with traffic flowing from both sides, so chaotic and full of rush made my controlled tears to flow out. Moreover we were unable to find the 120/17 tube which would fit in CBR tyre (somewhat). We had to compromise on Apache RTR’s tube which would work as an alternative.

Thanks to local guy who helped us to locate the shop and get the tube. Another task was to find an eligible person who can remove the rear tyre tactfully, luckily we found one mechanic, but he wasn’t skilled to fit in the tube in tubeless tyre, Moreover he didn’t even knew how to remove the tyre from Rim. So we found a different mechanic who was skilled in puncture stuffs, he effortlessly removed the tyre from rim, properly fitted the tube, then we took the tyre back to previous mechanic who fixed up the tyre back to bike making it able, up and running.

Damn running from one mechanic to another and so on we were too tired but the issue of our bike was rectified, thanking the people who helped us we resumed our ride, fighting the hassle we made our way to highway (the open road) and took a deep breathe.

The place “Bihar” where we wanted no problems, especially “Kishnaganj” the place about which we heard numerous unsafe things from n number of people, exactly at the same place all these incident occurred and everybody was so helpful and kind…different people have different views..

We thought that we are so much on track and that we would reach Siliguri by 7.00 etc etc but... Man proposes, God Disposes

It was all sun set when we resumed our ride and Sachin was completely exhausted because of no food. We decided that it’s of no use rushing now since it was already dark so stopping somewhere and filling up our stomach was the only wise decision we thought to take.

We did not wanted to stop at any Hotel or Dhaba because we were done for the day <No more unexpected tragedies needed> We stopped at nearby chai tapri (Tea Corner) on the junction of Purnea from where we were supposed to take a left turn to reach siliguri, where we also saw some eggs, bread and bajiyas eatables. We were literally having our food like poor people (Sweet fruity Bread, Egg, bajiyas, 3 cups ginger tea) we ate so much and was so satisfied after having everything especially the refreshing tea made us all charged up to ride for more 200 kms and reach Siliguri.

<FOOD it is an essential part of human life, whoever think that skipping food can make them active or alert or slim or whatsoever ….My friend you are Wrong!!)

Initially we were bit skeptical to ride in dusk but after confirming from few of our friends about the safety and all we decided to ride ahead since everybody said that it’s a safe route…

When we resumed our ride after eating we were so tensed and worried of riding on unknown route of Bihar where initially we decided not to ride during nights and now we were in such a situation that we had to take such risky decision which we never planned to. So is in life sometimes you have to do things which you never planned of but what’s the fun of such things where everything goes according to plan…Unplanned things are more thrilling and exciting…Like that night of Bihar…

We were so fearful and thrilled and cautious that after every 15 minutes Sachin used to ask me to stop and then check my rear tyre and then we used to proceed. In fact I was so much in terror that even the slightest pot hole made my blood flow faster throughout my body. Because if anything would have gone wrong that night we would have got no help from anywhere.

Around 10.30 we reached Siliguri SAFELY!! Ordered Chicken masala, Jeera Rice and then the most awaited heavenly sleep.

The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem. Never panic, Never get disheartened every thing happens for a reason to make you more proficient, Everything is a Learning and after so many rides this is one thing which we can proudly say that no matter whatever problems we face during rides, we do not PANIC and we make sure we find a solution and come out of the problems, holding and supporting each other

Not everyday is a good day, Live anyway

Mountains the wait is OVER !! We are about to see each other !! Darjeeling it is..

This was 10 am and still dark fog, it was one hell of foggy ride

First Chai stop

Saddest part of the ride

Breakfast on the dhaba

Jaana kaha ha ab?

A place where wespotted the bend on the rim.

There's always a next time, keep a tab on our Facebook page, we keep roaming around and we might bump in sometime, last weekend met quite a few xbhpians in Goa, no one planned anything we just met.

Thanks for your wishes. Cheers!

I feel every bike has its pro and cons, but I feel CBR has more Pros than Mojo's lot of cons, and forward biased position will be little bit troublesome in traffic and Offroad section else on Highways its pure bliss CBR might feels little bit aggressive initially but its still the best in its segment.

PS: People have rode to Ladakh on their Scooters and RCs.
