Changed breaks myself for the first time
For the first time in my life, I thought about changing the breaks of my motorcycle. Having brought both the front disk pads and rear drum breaks earlier in the day, it was time to try it for the first time.
At first I had to struggle a little bit to get the get the caliper unmounted, after I was through doing that. I discovered that one of the piston wasn’t working! After a lot of struggle I managed to push it back, but it wouldn’t come out. In the end I had the bleed the whole system to get the piston to start working.
Then came the task of installing rear drum breaks, which was easier, then the disk episode, but tough none the less. Since it was first time in my life I was removing the rear wheel, but in the end I managed to do it.
Total time it took to get both the breaks changed was around two and half hour, but I learnt a lot today and did save Rs.50. Even though it was a tiring experience, but it was fun to care for my sweetheart.

Old memories revisited
Got a message on Saturday evening, it was Manik asking me to come over to the Qutab institutional area dhaba on Sunday morning. I in turn messaged Suhas to come over at the dhaba in the morning, so we could discuss his upcoming trip to ladakh.
Sunday morning and sure enough the regulars were there once again; Manik, Salil, Sunil, Shamik and I, soon Suhas (that’s too many S’s) also joined in. After the usual meet and greet, it was time to revisit the memory lanes. No matter what happens, we just can’t restrain ourselves from talking about our last year’s trip to ladakh.
Soon the topic was shifted to an upcoming trip the rest of the guys are planning for the month of June (lucky buggers). It was time for Manik to deliver his “Speech”
After spending almost four hours there and the mercury rising to almost 40degree Celsius, it was time to head back home.
