Nervy 90s

Nervy Nineties… that’s what David Lloyd says in a very typical British accent. I did feel the same. Not in a game of cricket, but on my bike.

This was about a week back when I was driving back home on my bike. Had to stop at a traffic signal (No breaking of traffic rules again, I am ideal citizen). A black Pulsar came to a halt by my side. I took a look at the driver. But what caught my attention was the pillion rider. She was quite a hottie. I guess the driver saw me checking her out.

So he asked me “Dude, wats the max speed”

Me: “I have been in the 90s”.

He: “Oh! Ok”

He gave me look as to say “Only 90″. I am no Rossi and my bike is not a R1. Give me a R1, I will hit 100 . My bike starts shaking in the 70s bcoz of some falls here and there . Btw, I am fine now.

The TVS Apache ad (One of the best ads I have recently) flashed before my eyes and I quickly recollected the Newton’s laws of motion.

The force was being applied on the other bike, but I felt it too . So i said to myself “Let me try a 100 now”.

Signal turned green and both of us accelerated. I got the better start and was ahead of him and then was neck to neck till the 70s. That’s when he got ahead of me, but I was focussed on my speedo. It read 90. Come onnnn… Now it read 95. Lil bit more! I wanted the 100 badly (my first century – First century is always special). The needle on the speedo just appeared to touch the 100 mark (Just few short of a hundred).

But, I saw the traffic signal and had to slow down. Ahhh, I failed my physics teacher who taught me Newton’s laws.

This time the guy gave a look that said “That was fast”.
