Biking has come to be a part of life for me and my friend Philip. Nothing compares to riding through Incredible India! Riding makes me realise what a beautiful country India is – nature, cuisine and culture. Our confidence levels rise every time Phil and I do a road trip. This makes us dream bigger, making us plan and execute longer and more challenging trips. The Bangalore-Pune-Bangalore trip was conceived a month and a half before the scheduled date. I was praying hard that my schedule at college would not ruin the trip. I had decided though that what come may the trip would not be called off! We decided to continue with our practice of riding sans spare parts. Thanks to the dependability and loyalty of Phil’s pulsar 150 we have never had to deal with a breakdown. We aimed at doing 850 km from our home city of Bangalore to the city of Pune in Maharashtra non-stop. Both of us knew that this trip was going to be a race against time. We planned to leave Bangalore at 5:00 am, ride through the day and make it to Pune by evening. We got the bike checked and were confident that she would run like a dream just like she had on previous occasions. Little did we know that this trip would make us do things we hadn’t ever dreamt of doing!
