Bhadrak, Rain and un-tarred Roads
Cost break up:
Fuel: 550 (some left)
Hotel: 300 (single bed, non-ac)
Since it was raining throughout the journey, even while returning during night, it didn't even occur to me to take out my camera to take pictures.
After the journey of around 350 Km, my access was definitely vibrating, making noise and really needed servicing. The sound isn't as smooth as it was before, however, it seems like the issue is because the servicing was not properly done by the mechanic. It vibrates when I keep the acceleration at a lower level (the vibration is felt more at the front).
The riding however, was a breeze, even with these road conditions, the ease and comfort made it a smoother experience in whole.
Towards the end of this journey of two days, I was loosing hope to be able to ride more as I could not see properly with people beaming in their 'uppers' in darkness and the droplets of water over my spectacles and eyes. Shivering, I stopped at a beetle shop for a cigarette and he was making special ones, which I had. The coincidence of finding something you are looking for was kind of a positive reinforcement to start the vehicle again and reach my destination.
The tires took it. The brakes worked and the vehicle didn't choke to death - All I wanted from it at that time.
More than adding one page in my blog, this journey helped me peacefully answer a few questions in a hotel room, posed by 'The Foundry', with the help of the love of my life. She patiently embraced my coquette and held my hand so that I could complete it before the deadline.
It was her hometown, where I was, neither could I find her home nor was I invited there, but when she wasn't with me and I had no direction in my life, this was the only destination I could think of, to be close to something about her.
This is my first Access 125 stories. Will it ever reach 125? We will have to see.
