I'm Back...

Quite a few people who visit my blog have been asking me why I haven't uploaded anything new for close to a year! Well, there are multiple answers to the question. Life has become increasingly busy after I joined Bradford Internet India as a content writer. I write all day and when I get home in the evening I have wished I could switch over to an entirely new language and give my senses a break from English!

The rides have been happening off and on. Theres actually lots to say - In the first week of May, I finished my maiden long distance ride from Bangalore to Ooty, Coonoor and back, on my Yamaha RX 135. She did well. Philip and I did another short night ride to Krishnagiri a few months back too. That was our first ever ride on two separate bikes.

And now for the big news. We have decided to ride to the North this August. This ride will be a test for both of us and our bikes. The ride will start in Delhi and cover places like Ludhiana, Jammu, Srinagar, Kargil, Drass, Leh, Khardungla - the world's highest motorable road and Manali. The preparations are on. Philip on his warhorse - the faithful Bajaj Pulsar 150, our companion eversince we started riding and I on my Yamaha RX135. And guess what... we can't wait to go...

Thank you friend. Yes, I have done 3000km in 6 days on a pulsar 150.

There was no problem with the bike. We have done Bangalore to Madhya Pradesh, Bang to Hyderabad and Bang to Pune on it too.

We will be going to Khardung la on it next.



Cheers!
