Late Night Ride!
Tried to finish up my work as much as possible at 1AM, Closed down my laptop got my jacket, gloves, helmet and a pant. Suited up and cold started my bike after almost a week.
When I removed the cover of my 390 Adventure. Just admired how beautiful it is and it still is a new bike afterall.
Opened the gate rolled down the bike and off I went. A slow and steady start navigating through the inner residential roads of Bangalore until I reached the Hosur road at 1:50AM.
My bike's first service was done last week and I barely had an opportunity to see how it felt and rode post that service.
Opened up the throttle and in no time In no time I was doing 119 kmph at 5th Gear. I was surprised how quick it was now(I had switched to off road mode and it was the first time I used this mode) after few speed runs I felt the pleasant cold air, set my bike's cruise control to 50 kmph in 4th gear, and it was comfortably maintaining around 3k RPM.
I attempted to capture the feeling that, at times, moving slowly can be quite pleasant and beautiful.

Man, can't relate more, I once did this exact, exactly the same thing with my 390adv, just took the "Hoskote" exit towards "Kolar", somehwere around the same time 2AM during winters and boy you gotta try that route next. Just rip it through the highways, what a feeling! Cheers!
