open engine operation

the tappets in old bullets could be fixed by opening a side hatch in the engine.

now they have to open the whole engine, and here it lies in waiting.

new hydraulic tappets are not available in indore since the last three days.

(forgot to click the heartless bike's pic)

maybe the new bullets aren't made as they were before, 21000k's on the odo,

and the last two services have cost me rs 15500 and a bit more...

just another number

no wonder we are obsessed with cricket statistics...
its not just another number if all are talking about it, is it? ;)

keep riding...

en route to kanha national park, madhya pradesh

the bike thumps along on the open road,
while the eagle soars high, glimpses caught in between the trees.

the sun shines down upon the very few leaves,
the wind hits my body and gives cold relief.

the heated engine now performs at its peak,
a twist of the throttle and refined power within my reach.



now sets in a calmness while in blurry motion,
and the crunching up of kilometers gives languid peace.

the eyes are occupied with the changing vistas,
and the travel infuses new thoughts within.

while the road keeps going on forever,
times presence is only felt as the shadows lengthen.

for the lonely road too, does time stand still,
and the changing riders all get an opportunity to escape.

the house comes live on google maps!! :D
