It started with a long and tiring morning at the Bajaj Workshop. Checked in the Avenger dot at 0900 and finally managed to get started at 1530.
A complete fork over haul, a chain set replacement and few other minor repairs, Rohon had never been happier with the treatment his bike got. In the meantime, took the bull out for a wash in Srinagar. Finally after 8 days of riding through dirt, gravel, water, slush, snow and god knows what not, both the bikes were shining brightly. Everything fixed up, washed and cleaned, luggage all tied up, we rode out of Srinagar. As if insurgency wasn’t enough to terrorise this lovely city, the traffic on Srinagar – Anantnag road was a horror. Cabs, convoys, buses, trucks, carts, all scampering through. By the time we ate Dosas at the end of the Valley, it was almost 1600 hrs,
and Pathankot looked far and beyond. Decided to finish the day at Patnitop and take an early start. This was day that the Bull started showing signs on distress, the clutch was getting harder and I was having trouble with the gearshift. Managed to get up to Patnitop and decided to show the bike at the nearest RE workshop falling on route, which would be at Pathankot, still another 160 odd kms away. Fixed up with Bhuwan to meet him at Jaipur/ Mandawa in 3 days time on our return to Delhi from Jaisalmer. Quick check in to one of the Hotels at this small hill station, followed by the routine. OMR, hog, calls, snore!!!
