The Blue Avenger rides again

Bagga, Link Road, Karol Bagh
Went to check if my bike papers had come in yet. No luck. Told me to check after ten days! On my way out, I saw that the Avys standing there had been cleaned up and were spic and span. Maybe the Bajaj people gave some feedback from my blog to them, or they just did it on their own.
Found out the time period for advance booking for servicing at ProBiking. 10 days!!! I should have booked it before I bought the bike.

Accessorize...
Got a dickey fit on to the Avenger. A blue Studds dickey.Pretty neat. It has a nice red reflector at the bottom corner. Unfortunately it was on the bottom left corner. That meant, for it to face backwards, I would have to fit it on the right side of the bike. Which meant attaching it to the silencer. I tried to figure out how to get it done with out the silence getting involved. Couldn't. So had it fit on the left side of the bike on the Saree guard. So the saree guard finally came to some use. Cost me Rs 650 + Rs 40 labour charges. Got it done from Karol Bagh, Ajmal Khan road market.

The red reflector faces forward, but overall, the effect is still good. The bike just looks bigger. Is bigger in fact, cos the dickey juts out quite a bit. Will have to keep that in mind while turning sharp corners, or in heavy traffic. Storage space is not all that great but adequate for what I need.

False Alarm
On my way back, took the link road from Karol Bagh to Dhaula Kuan. As I rounded a curve, I saw a scooter parked and a woman struggling with a guy. I passed to soon to make much sense of it. The Blue Avenger stopped and parked itself at the side. I got off and walked back. And as I came near, I realised they were a couple and just arguing or playing around. Still, to be certain, I approached the guy and in my best Haryanvi accent asked "Kya ho raha hai bhai?". He was a bit taken aback and inquired "Kya ho raha hai?". Not a very bright fellow. I turned to the lady and asked if she knew him. She nodded an affirmative and since she didn't seem under duress (more embarassed actually), I turned to the guy and told him that I thought there was something wrong going on and had come to check. Gave him a pat on the shoulder and walked to The Blue Avenger. It seemed to be winking in approval. Got home without incident. What was saddening about the whole affair was I saw a few men walk on past that couple and even turn around to see whats going on, but none of them stopped to make sure. Apparently the b*stards keep their sisters and daughters locked up at home and hence are not worried that something unfortunates could happen to one of their beloved. And as long as it is someone else's, it's just entertainment.
