Bull gets the hooves polished

After almost half a year of hibernation “EL Toro” (my trusty steed, my bullet), it was time for some activity. It was time to get to the workshop and get back in shape.

On valentines day, I renewed my love with Toro, and I looked like an overexcited kid with Rs. 10000/- only for chocolates  (I know it sounds like an overkill). It was time to reach the garage, and… the battery was drained (for obvious reasons), and the bike as such, was in pretty bad shape… A friend who was supposed to help me get the bike to the mecs place had slept off (grrrrrrr), so was searching for an alternate means to transporting my bike. Finally found a TATA ACE driver, who agreed to transport my bike.

With the bike loaded, we were on my way to a place my wife calls, “Sauten’s house” (Keep’s house), that would be my mech’s garage. On our way, we were flagged down by the traffic police, who just wanted to ensure that he had a good breakfast with his gang at my cost. After these small hurdles, we were back on track.

Well now, just waiting to get the bull back and god willing will be back to my old ways on me bull…
