WOW!! My first long-ride on my scooty..
Today I took my scooty to a shopping complex for a lunch treat (shared by me ofcourse!!). After the terrible fall I had had 2 weeks back, I never knew I could do it..
Today is my riding day actually. Lemme tell u the series of events/rides that took place today.
I had to exchange my washing machine today, so was all set to go to the showroom/dealer with my dad. But my dad wanted to see if he could fix the issue first. So, he got his hands dirty into it. In the meanwhile, I took my scooty to fuel it. When I got back, my dad observed there was a pipe left open and started to check what was that for. The I convinced my dad that I can always take it to the showroom and ask them. I did so.. Actually, that was an air pipe that comes from the engine, so that engine has adequate air for the combustion. I asked him to show other vehicles, and all of them had. So, conviced.. Since I had gone that far, paid a visit to aunt’s house.. hadnt been there since I bought my scooty..
After that, I decided that I will take my scooty for the treat today. Though that is a busy area, I thought someone could lead me. I called BG and asked him to lead the way and that I would follow him. He came with RG and pursuaded that I dont take my bike. But BG, I am confident of my riding..
Its okay.. I can understand his apprehension. They then led me the way and I followed them, reached the complex, parked my bike and set out for lunch. It was already late, about 2:45 and my stomach had started singing the hunger raga. So we went to Tadka in the complex at around 3:20. It had a buffet which costed Rs. 253 per person. But believe me, it didnt have the varieties that you would expect for ur money. Some in the group argued that we lost the varieties due to our late arrival to the restaurant. But never mind.. First impression was not all that good. After lunch, P invited the uninvited to his wedding and wedding reception. After that we started towards home.
V was to be dropped to his home. He asked me if I could do that. I agreed instantly.. I needed to practice double-rides on busy roads
. Man.. u must have seen the way he was begging me to give him control of my scooty. But I didnt.
So he jumped off to RG’s bike. Kav anyways didnt trust either mine or Shyl’s riding, so she preferred to rely on BMTC to reach home.
The duo(V + RG) along with BG lead me and Shyl to our home. We went till a common point and Shyl went home from there. And then came the way to my home. I was very happy that I went till such a busy area and came back home safely, without panicking during my ride.
After that, mom wanted me to buy something for her and I decided I will take my scooty out again.. My bro was home by then and he had to go somewhere. So he led me this time, though it was dark now, probably 7:00 PM or more than that. I bought what my mom wanted and then bro again led me back home and left from there.
Now, I wanted to check if the capacitor of my washing machine was gone. So had asked my neighbour to check it in his office. I went in my scooty again to inquire that. The capacitor was fine, and I took it with me, took the main road at around 7:45 PM and then came back home..
So, now, I am a bit confident that I can really venture out with my scooty.
