BHKAAI

As in Bullet, you cannot turn your Harley with the key in the handle lock. I learn this as I broke mine trying to push the bike with key in the handle lock. In no time it was laying on ground displaying the sturdiness of key metal. This was two days back.

CV 2032/2035 - Made in Indonesia
For today's ride, got the spare FOB but never thought of checking the battery. Bike won't start and the alarm just won't stop; what to do. Opened the key of truck and found same battery - 3V Panasonic, Made In Indonesia. It worked on truck, but in Harley's FOB it wud'nt. Although voltage was the same, it seems model CV 2032 can't be replaced with model CV 2035 - both Made In Indonesia. So had to go back, get the old FOB and then start off the ride. An observation here though - as frustration and anxiety built up over battery issue, I observed all words like my girl, my boy, my fatty went for a toss. The remarks were typical - "HUN TA CHAL PAA BC..."

Idea was to hit Delhi and return, and I must say cops of all types were at full attendance at that early hour of the day - Chandigarh Police, Chandigarh Traffic Police, Punjab Police, Haryana Police - all shapes, all sizes, all colours. The incoming traffic to Chandigarh was high - point noted. Not until we hit Ambala that it started making sense; with the banners of "HAARDIK SHUBHKAMNAYE KHATTAR JI" making their presence visible. A new CM of Haryana was to be sworn in and I chose that day to ride through Haryana. With that many JAATS driving on one highway on one day - thats a CATEGORY 5 hazard. Plan changed. Made a U from Karnal, turned from Ambala (entered Punjab ASAP), made a U from Ludhiana and returned.

On return, all those cops of different characteristics - NONE were to be found. Seemingly, the Band Baaja Baraat was done with.

So in the end I'd say it was neutral. Had one Bhkaai in morning and skipped another in the evening. 

No complaints!
