October 7, 2007 – Sunday. The last lap. Mysore to Bangalore

After the morning temple ride which was about 20 kms off Mysore and click a few good ones the ride back was uneventful for a while.

But then, there was a buzz around the highway. Superbikers united.

Kawaks, Yams, BMWS, Hondas about 10 of them zoom in and around weaving through the traffic. They must’ve been at it in the morning.

For a while I was depressed that I was on this slow coach Bullet which just about managed 100 Kms/hr and did not have any pick-up where those buggers could surge even after 90 kms/hr.

Those chaps were clocking 140 + easily. What a sight. Good for them. I might get one of those but then, what the heck, what’s the big deal of having a bike and then clocking it on Sundays and doing rallys… that’s not the reason we wanted to bike. Our reasons for biking were to explore the country side ride through life…

Sure, we’ll get a superbike but, when they come to the country with proper service stations and reach for parts. Without it Sunday rides were bull shit. Let these fellows try the road to Irrity and get back one piece.

That was that.

Home at last by afternoon. A few beers and lunch later well deserved crash out and back to the more mundane chores of corporate life.

Till the next ride or drive… cheers.
