Day 3

Up at 6:00AM. Muscles a little sore with all the riding, but a hot water bath fiexd it all. After a quick darshan at the temple a good breakfast we leave Ganaptiphule at 9:00AM.
Cross Kashedi Ghat at 1:00. No matter how many times you cross Kashedi, you cant miss but enjoy the ghat a little more every time. We had covered about 180kms in 4 hours and longed for a break. We decided to rest under a tree by the river side. After a nice nap, we rode again.
After riding for about 10 minutes, I could see another bike coming up fast in my RVM. And we were already doing 90KPH. I veered to the left and was overtaken by a guy on the Yamaha Frazer wearing Alpinestars. He had a great bike but was not a good rider. We could figure that out. He was twitchy and our puny little pulsar engines easily beat him on the corners. The three of us rode together for about an hour. Constantly doing 100-110. We stopped just before Vadkhal. The guy introduced himself as Zulfi, Owner of Bacchu motors. He was waiting for his friends who were far behind, So I and Vinod decided to move on.
We reached Mumbai at 7:00 thoroughly refreshed by a great ride. It’s been two months now and the city with traffic congested, potholed roads is starting to get me. Longing to ride on the open road again.
