Thumper@24K!


Well, well, well, we have come a long way!
On this Sunday, the 19th of June, Two thousand and sixteen our good ol' Thumper crossed the 24K mark.
As far as ordinary bikes go, this is not an exceptional milestone.
But then this is no ordinary bike to begin with. It is more of a ceremonial bike which ventures out on rather few occasions. Like the King's mount which comes out only in ceremonies and leisure rides. No minion task for the Thumper.
The significance on 24K is also because the longest trip Thumper has undertaken is also a 24!
and that was it's 2400km run from Lucknow to Ladakh to Kashmir.
I do hope to take it out again someday on a long run where it gets to run free, rather then the clutch/brake/accelerator existence it has to put up with in city run.
