                He was returning to tangste to pick up something they left forgot at the restaurant.

                At least that is why that guy told me in the evening. If he is lying, I don't know why.

                    Who said that we would be riding on 50-60kmph...it was the heavy cross winds which had slowed down the speed..it was not by choice!

                    If we ALL would have been sticking together as a group then SUCH situations wouldn't have arised at the 1st place..but since no-one agreed to that we had to face these kinda situations on such an important ride .. where group ride mattered the most..!!

                      That was the speed you were riding at on Delhi - Jalandhar route and most of the highways during the ride in spite of several requests by me and rudra to increase your speed by at least 10 kmph. The cross winds were same for all three riders and not exclusive for you.

                      I don't remember you two stopping for me before Ambala. All riders have to ride at a reasonable speed and try to match to the group. I also don't remember me leaving anyone behind at any point of time and riding off.

                        You guys were able to ride fast in the crosswinds, good..but, i couldn't battle those winds beyond a certain limit..hence i was left behind..! And later(from ambala-jalandhar) if you could remember i was also catching up with the group..!!

                        Me and rudra DID stop for you just before entering Ambala..did you forget!!? And later when we had our lunch and tanked up we were waiting for you below that tunnel where you were left behind when you were busy in getting the bsnl number activated by sending your guy to the bsnl office.

                            That was after our heart to heart talk about need to ride faster if we wanted to reach Pathankot (as planned by you) by night.

                            BTW, how do you know you were riding at more than 50-60 when you r speedo was not working?

                            How about the arrow straight highway after nimmu? We could see for next 5-7 km, road was arrow straight and absolutely no traffic in sight. Please don't say that bike wouldn't pull more. If my bike could pull faster, karizma won't have any problem.

                            You guys had to stop because there was a turnoff you wanted to take and it was not scheduled to be taken. The stop you mention was inside the city before we started our ride so doesn't count. Can you tell about any other time you stopped for me/rudra? How about Sonmarg - Srinagar ride? (not mentioning chang la) How about Zozila Pass when I had stopped for Aman?

                              Even if the speedo is not working i can make out the speed coz i have been riding it since a very long time now and know exactly at what rpm reading what speed is the bike doing..!! If you can't make that out on your bike..i can't help with that..

                              That problem was there since a very long and i remember telling that to you ample number of times that the bike wasn't going above 4k rpm. If your bike could pull more then good for you..bottom line is my bike wasn't pulling..believe it or leave it.

                              That was for the lunch break and i guess that was needed that time.

                              About the Sonmarg-Srinagar ride..you only told us to move ahead! So me and rudra moved ahead. You and aman came later.

                              About the Zozila pass, rudra had moved ahead and stopped at the point where we met another guy from pune on HH hunk and at one point of time(particularly when the down-slope started) i was waiting for you and aman to catch up.

                              • Can I request you guys to slug it out with knives and fire please... this though exciting, is getting boring.

                                Inder, we all know your riding speed... the lesser said the better. Whethere you like it or not, similar conditions and same destinations calls for sticking around as a group together. As much as its important for them to slow down, its important for you to ride a bit faster too.

                                Lets not get too senty about this and drag in the I have ridden more than you argument here....1) its not healthy and 2) its not healthy!
