Here the story takes a twist!
Well I was supposed to join this ride but my bike starte to spew out smoke form the exhaust like a dirty 2-stroker!
So i dropped out! :(
Then on Saturday night I get a call from Vasant. Jalao jalao i thought to myself and received the call. What i heard next realy shocked me!
Vaas had a CRASH!
Oh My GOD what would have happened that caused Vaas to crash?
I mean we've been riding together since the last 2 years and not even once had he made any mistakes and always rode in a defensive manner!
Then he narrated how he had missed a huge pothole umm i am sorry CRATER on the road at night! Well well thats tells it all.
Then Vaas sheepishly asked " Sachin I am in no position to ride back...umm Santoosh was suggesting if you could come here by bus we can take the bike back". Well my wingrider is down and I dont need much encouragement to ride a ZMA back form Chikmagalur via Belur!
I will now redirect you to Vaas' blog for the rest of the story

whoa, finally you posted the log from your end. It was a jinxed ride for me, may be coz so called someone special in my life, might have cursed me coz it was her birthday and i told her i wouldn't be able to meet her and will be going on a ride! Iam still not sure what made me crash or what made me miss that fucking crater!
But, you posted wrong info, even before i asked you whether you can come to chikmagalur by bus, you yourself told you will come down man! :) You forgot the sequence or what? But seriously, i didn't expect you to go out of your way and come there, thanks a ton to you and chala for taking time out of your weekend and helping me out of the mess i was in.
Your actions that day proved to what extent you can go out of your way to help out people whom you consider as your close friends. It takes a lot of effort to do what you did, especially after the bad experience you went through helping out another rider in your earlier ride.
As for me, i was overjoyed that i had riders with me, who are not just co riders, but are also close friends :)
Not to forget santoosh's help, I wouldn't have been in a position to even talk to your over phone coz i was mentally fucked after crash. Santoosh pulled me up and eased my worries by talking sense in to me. For his age, that level of maturity is unexpected and very rare to find. Am thankful to both of you guys for helping me out when i was in pits, will be indebted forever for sure!
