NONE

At the back of my mind it had been a concern that - the way I am going about with the riding scene - a day would come when my bike would give up on me and just pretend dead. Man.... I would so be in line with endless HOG's who face battery death due to prolonged inaction. Luckily not for me - we fired in time.

Battery AZEEZ..

At the end of previous ride, I had observed front tyre being worn out from one side, exactly the way it did in my last pair of tyres. I wanted a whole day at my as well as the technician's disposal to sort the issue. And as it happened, today we did make our long awaited pilgrimage to the Himalayan Harley workshop.

@Himalayan Harley workshop

The business for Harley guys is booming. Bikes coming in, bikes going out. New bikes, not so new bikes, old bikes, crashed bikes - bikes all over the place. Increased staff, new machines - a good feeling for me - but certainly not for the owners of 8 crashed Harley's sitting there, rusting, awaiting eternity for their parts to come. Same story, different name. No change on this front whatsoever. Irony of the fact is - you see pics of guys being welcomed on HOG page sitting pretty on their ride. A few months or in some cases a few days later, the same bike is parked damaged in the workshop. No news of that on HOG page!

Tough luck guys and having been through the process, I completely empathize with you. Its a journey as we learn tame the energies.

Safe Riding!
