I had said in my earlier post that speeding isnt my forte' . I love cruising . Clear skies , a gentle breeze and the highway : the biker loves these . Cruising along , feeling the nature ; the gentle hum of the machine - he loves that sound .
Like everyone else , the biker likes a change once in a while , so does the machine . So , out we go, on a bright sunny day : first stop is the petrol pump . Both are excited ; but it isn't evident in our subdued expressions . We are just waiting for the open road . Refueled and tire pressures checked. Okay and we are off!
Next stop , the highway . The machine knows we are on open road now and hums expectedly . We cruise along and leave other vehicles behind. A slight release of the throttle to get the rhythm ready. And now the time to leave the rest of the world far behind !
We start accelerating 30,40,50, 60. The wind is picking up now . The higher gears have lesser acceleration .... so full throttle needed now . Its turbo mode .... 70,80,90... things are getting real fast now . The wind is sharper . It blows on the face real hard and starts howling .A bit more acceleration.. 100 kmph . Now we get the real sense of speed . Cutting through the air , it starts screaming ... yah...for real (its goes wwwooooooo!!!!) .
Above 100 kmph , the scenery starts blurring out . The scenes on both sides fly past - ....its an eery feeling , the feeling associated with every thrill . The engine is roaring now. Strange music it sounds ....the gentle hum of the engine replaced by a furious roar , the once feeble breeze is now scowling all around us . Soon the machine starts slightly shivering ...she's reaching the top speed..cant take no more . When it starts vibrating ; its an indicator ..time to cool off buddy ! Let go off the accelerator gradually and she smoothly swings back to the rhythm . Both of us were on a high...and we are both immensely satisfied.
After 110 kmph , its incredible how much slower 60 kmph feels..... :D
