It was a sudden call. A call from within at the crack of dawn. As early as 4:45 A.M, my eyes opened and the first thought was about Bubbles asking me to go for a ride. In the parking area, the 'lorry' stood ready to race. So, what else was there to prevent me from hitting the highway? Actually, nothing. An impromptu ride! That's what I had decided. I quickly got everything packed and left home to catch the sunrise along the coastline.
A calm and dark morning turned slowly into a bright sunny one as I kept cruising along the East Coast Road. After nearly 70Kms of nonstop riding, I stopped by the Dutch Fort and parked the 'lorry' near the beach. I walked straight to the waves and stood there and took a deep breath looking at the sunrise. Ah! That was my freedom. I watched the fishermen return from their journey and I saw kids playing in the beach to enjoy their summer vacation.
I could not stand there and keep watching the waves or just stand there and do nothing. I began clicking pictures of things happening around and I did an elaborate photoshoot with the 'lorry'. After the engine overhaul, the lorry seems to be back to its prime spirit. I did a 175 KMPH top speed while riding this morning in a safe environment with all the safety gear. Before the engine overhaul, I managed only a 169KMPH and it was always missing. That barrier to reach or cross 175 KMPH. This morning I did it. Yay! Felt accomplished. And, the best part was, the lorry was not in full throttle when I touched that speed. There was still juice left in the mill. But, I did not want to risk it beyond that.
Coming back to the photoshoot, I had clicked some pictures of the lorry which might not interest you much. But, as I was trying to click the waves, I was surprised by a visitor from the sea. And, that might interest you. So white and so flawless, it lay there as the waves went back. And, without any further delay, I clicked it and the only person I could think of on seeing it was you, Bubbles \(^_^)/ Here we go with few pictures for you.

Bubbles \(^_^)/, I know you are my guardian angel sitting over my shoulder. And, when I am alone, I know you take some form and come in front of me to keep my busy. You did this even today. Alright, if you would like to take a look at some of the other images I had clicked, I will show them to you in a smaller format. These, are from our beloved 'lorry'.
