Mumbai to Pune Biked !!!

"
Inexperienced Biker... Attempting Mumbai to Pune tomorrow morning... Will I make it? Else.. its Good Bye and Good Luck
"
read my status note, the night before...

I was unsure of whether I should transport my bike (which includes removal of mirror, emptying my petrol tank, plus additonal risks), or should I just drive...

So, I chose! With my good friend *om***w**, who was excellent with the driving directions, started our journey from Mumbai on morning of 11th May 2009.

Here, were the statistics:

Start Time: 05:02hrs
End Time: 08:33hrs
Meter Start: 38396
Meter End: 38607

Waiting only twice during the journey, with the never ever tasted before like raaste ki elaichi- coffee.. the journey was a perfect vrrrrrooooommmmmmmm!!!!

With my Mom startled at myself reaching Lonavala, in less than 2hrs, it was indeed a journey to remember!

But the joy and the pride with which I reached Pune, remains vivid. I even carried my helmet to the office desk, to express my feelings.

I've done it man!!! Finally, the moment has come... it did take 2.5years for this goody to come, but definitely worth the wait... so... I have a HONDA UNICORN (2nd hand) at Pune... and just another BAJAJ PULSAR waiting for my weekends @ Mumbai...

Been there, done that!
