I Know its Been a while since i have posted any of my Rides….But this one was different..as always a much awaited get away needed and had to get on and ride the Highway …!!!

This time I wanted a day ride…coz out of the tight schedule I wanted to take time out for a ride.. That’s when i saw on the Internet about Bidar , and it was only about 146km and a good option to ride .. and come back on the same day.. That’s when i decided i had to get on this road no matter what, over the weekend. But I was still very tentative… called  Ram , told him wake me up early in the morning so that we could start early and make the most of the day …Well i slept late ..and by the time i woke up it was 8 in the morning….Got up and thought..ok! may be we will scrap the ride..and rather sleep coz i was really tired from all the erratic working hours during the week… and thought i should catch up with some more sleep instead..

Tried to go back to sleep…but couldn’t and the fact of being on
the Highway was really tempting me..woke up ..with a Jolt..!!! Got ready and got to ram’s place to pick him up at 9am . I know we were late but it really didn’t matter much, we headed straight to the highway, on my way i realized the bike was struggling…and all of a sudden stopped and wouldn’t budge, we got off the bike to realize smoke coming off the rear tier and rubber burning… allot of things running through my head at that moment… thought it could have been a piston snap..or some thing els..just didn’t know what to do..besides we were 40km away from the city…then thought may be it was the brakes that got jammed for some reason..immediately loosened the brakes..and started the bike again..and moved slowly and realized it was getting better and then ..there was no stopping…

It was a while since i went on a get away..was allways avoiding as i was caught up with zillion comitments..and was raring to Get on and Get away….

I spoke to Ram my only friend since 2nd class, dont know how i managed NOT to loose contact with him though..But anyway , we just descided a daybefore…besides i had enough of the Hyderabad summers and had to Get away and Reclaim my life……I belive you can Only feel Freedom on two wheels with the Wind on your face…Especialy whn you own a T’bird , i’m shure u know what i mean by Living your wild side..!!
