On 9th Feb 2016, the plan was, I will meet varun at kalamboli Mac Donald. This spot is beside pune expressway. Very famous among the pune travellers or bikers. I was on time at the spot by 4:00am as I had left from home by 2:30am. It was dark all over with few street lights "ON" giving me support to stand strong in that dark. Ideally, there should be few people as it's also Mumbai side pick up point for Pune travelling buses or cars. Suddenly in dark there was an inline 2 cylinder firing exhaust which was screaming to point it's more than 150kmph coming towards me. Now I can see two eyes focusing on me from a distance, getting bigger from what they were looking initially as it comes close to me. Finally, suspense broke and disclosed as Varun on it's YAMAHA R3. We waited for 15 mins and left for Porvorim(GOA).


We took the pune express highway from kalamboli, don't know what went inside our heads, suddenly downed the gear and twisted the throttle, instead of taking left went straight along with the gazing wind.


Somewhere I underestimated the coldness at Lonavla, didn't take any warm cloths and it was hell cold while passing through. Sometimes we think ourself as "He-Man", but the reality is very different. We were shivering right from Lonavla till Katraj tunnel, pune. When body gave up than stopped near katraj tunnel and decided to have a hot tea to fight against cold. It was around 5:30am. The tea seller was awesome, kind enough to talk and ask us to visit again whenever we pass by.

We waited there for almost 20 mins, those 20mins where very memorable. We kept discussing about our rides, how will be our friend Amogh ? Will he ride with us to Murudeshwar. In 4 days what all will we do ? Even Tea seller joined us in the chat. He said even he rides to his village by bike.


Believe me hot tea in cold weather is like top of the world. We saw many harley riders riding with us towards GOA. I had not slept the previous day, due to which I was getting super sleepy.


Easily can be seen in my eyes how sleep attacks your eyes...
All time we are ready to rock !! When riding buddies are together than we come up with Yo style:


We left from katraj post hot tea and started our ride to Porvorim. Weather was awesome around and CBR was running amazingly. The filling of wind by passing you touching it as a swift pure and opening your all corners of heart to enjoy the ride.

In few hrs we reached Kolhapur McD. On the way it was very important for me to keep note of when and where Mc D would come.


Sadly it's other side of the road. You have to take a U Turn to go to McD. But unfortunately all Mc Donalds in country don't start their operation by 6:00 am. And breakfast menu which are served in metro cities are not available at all Mc D in the country. I ordered for the Egg breakfast menu but it wasn't available. It was hard to explain there what I meant. later ate whatever i got from there.





The worst part of night riding is sooner or later when your adraline calms down you are in grip of sleep. And you struggle to stay awake. And only option to fight it's COFFEE


Reached Amogh's home in afternoon. He was waiting for us eagerly. It's a very different and special feeling when you meet your biker friend some time later. I was meeting him post our rajasthan ride in Nov 2016.

Reached Nipani junction by 11:00am. Halted there for some tea break and left by 11:15am.

I was super tired but as I have a aquarium hobby so I was stunned to see a 6ft long fish tank in Amogh's home. Suddenly met "Lulu" a *****... This ***** no ordinary *****, but a stray adopted by Amogh and now a family member. Very lovely she is.
Later in night we went to one restaurant which was a pathetic experience in name of special dish of the restaurant. It was almost 9:00pm and we went to Vagator beach to chill and enjoy. It was super windy that night amazing wind sound through your ears and you feel as if you sleep there itself.





Whenever one plans a ride then the focus is always what is most important.
The focus was Murudeshwar, Murudeshwar darshan is what matters. We slept by 12:00 am so that we can get up by 5:00 am and leave for our ride to Murudeshwar. But as usual we all are late get-uppers. We woke up at 7:00am and it took almost 2 hrs for us to get to fact that we have to ride\drive to Murudeshwar.
