The Honda Activa rider was coming from the wrong side and banged into my car.
Bhpian ashis89 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Short errands, month-long cold storage, a couple of airport runs, a joy ride to a nearby dam and a cracked tail light – that’s the summary of the last 3 months.
It took me 84 days to use a tankful of diesel. Still returned 16 kmpl over the 775kms covered
Had gone to a family event near HSR. As I was reversing out of the parking, I heard a thud. I couldn’t understand – I had my eyes on the ONE-way road via the reverse camera and either of the ORVMs as I was reversing back onto the road, a couple of inches at a time. What I didn’t see was an all too eager man on an Activa zooming from the wrong side almost next to the footpath and banging into my car. Only damage was the tail light cracked after contact with his brake lever. His scooter had a big dent (on the metal engine cover) but I can’t find anything on my car. He knew his mistake and he went away quietly. Getting a new light goes onto my to-do list.
After a couple of failed plans and wasted bookings due to a long bout of viral fever, we finally decided to step out with a baby step. On a late Saturday afternoon, took the STRR and then joined the Hyderabad highway. After that, deliberated between Sabanahalli Lake and Dandiganahalli dam, with the latter winning eventually.
Mayura Bakery and its egg puffs have always been a weakness for both of us. When I saw a new bakery just after leaving the highway, we had to stop. Cuppa chai and with a parcel of puffs and some cake, we proceeded to the dam.
It had been more than 4 years since my last visit to the dam and the roads are mostly good throughout. The dam has been surrounded by a metal fence which does spoil some of the experience but one can still go near the water. A couple of families with a bunch of kids were wrapping up their lunch picnic. Another group arrived prepared to camp for the night near the water. Another was already in the water. And some just spent time near the water. We enjoyed a nice sunset, shared our puff and cake with a 4 legged friend before driving back.
A family had got a set of foldable tables and chairs to settle near the water. I have been thinking of getting a set myself.
Meanwhile, we were comfortable in the boot watching the water
Seriously lacking care for the last few months. Last water wash was probably 4-5 months ago. Josapu has been saving the day since then.
After a dinner halt at Nahusa, took the STRR again (road towards KIA was still crowded) and reached home by 10.
