Got my motorbike serviced up day before yesterday and today was the day for getting my friend Jay's bike serviced up. Plot was to leave one bike at the service station and both coming on the other one. So we left in the morning. Before the first traffic light his (bike's) left blinker indicated that its the time for a pit stop (.......after only five kilometers.....are we riding on moped?) . It was for petrol, so i also cruised into that fuel station. The attendent at the station picks up his weapon to inject the life into my pet (machine). But, emulating a motorcycle commercial I just shook my head with a smirk. I could easily interpret his smile as "U dont want the gas.....What u expected burgers?!". So i uttered - "I am with him". We zoooomed off to the service station. In the evening Jay called up and asked me to come over to pick him up so that we can fetch his machine from the station. I grabbed my keys to the motorbike and drove off. After two round abouts (4 km approx) motorbike started shaking and with the same smirk I reached for the reserve knob only to find it already turned to reserve...... d.....d....d.. duh! A man alone with his beloved in a desert(ed place in this case) sounds romantic right? But now add scroching heat, thirsty throat and thought that you will have to drag 150 kg atleast 10 km....still sounds sexy? Tried to pull it few meters but then decided to end the adventure and called up Jay to bring some body else's motorbike.
..........after 20 minutes..........
Jay arrives and ask me to hold on to his shoulder and this way he will drag my machine...Failed. Suddenly light bulb glows up above my head and I suggested that you push my motobike with your you feet applying pressure on the exhaust pipe of my motorbike. Though I have done it couple of times but this time may be its the heat......Failed. Finally, parked my bike on roadside and left for the same petrol station from where we bought a 500ml of petrol in a pet bottle, started the machine and went off to service station. This incident is typical "KTC" case
KTC-Keep The Change
eg - After having lunch at a restaurant you make the payment and say "keep the change" with pride. Then after 15mins you come back with fast breath asking sheepishly "did I forget my bag here"?
