120KMPH rides with my wife


Its been quite a while since I last blogged. Been too busy blogging on COGNIZANT's official blog site. Couldn take time off for my passionate penning moments after getting married to my passion ROOPA.


Well, people said that I wouldn dare speeding my bike/car after my wedding. Things haven't changed much as far as my racing instincts are concerned.


A helmet for Roopa means that she is safe and that she is insulated from the din that stems from the ferocious flow of air along the ear lobes when the bike slices wind at 120 road knots(KMPH I meant). It also means that she knows that I know that her words of caution for me to slow down and stick to that sub 100 speeds drown cos of the lack of bridge between the helmet that she wears and mine.

Riding all the way to Mahindra City from Tambaram, dropping my wife there and then travelling back to Tambaram enroute Thoraipakkam/Siruseri means 83 KMs in 1hr 40 mins through traffic with the first 60km stretch taking just around 55 minutes of flying on the road experience through laden lorries and cars that drive at bumper to bumper space in between.

Macho males astride their Pulsars, CBZ Xtremes, who wouldn dare to cross 100kmph within city limits, try hard to regain their pole position which was stripped off from them at BIKE point (my bike is my knife and I love robbing pole positions from fellow riders). They wouldn want their ego being beaten out of shape in front of the pillion who happens to be a female :)
