Another kind of RoadShakers' spirit...

hi guys,

this is just a thought…
As I thought, this is worth a mention and appreciation, so why not write it down…

Last time, it was Ra’JAAT’, who shown the RoadShakers’ spirit by taking the off-road while going to office… and this is another display of the same spirit…

Generally, we avoid it with utmost care, but still sometimes it happens…

CRASH!!!...

This time, it was not exactly crash, but Raya went off the road and stopped off the road with a wheelie…
Result, bent foot-pegs, brake lever with missing lock-pin and beautifully (yes, it was beautiful) twisted gear shifter…

We all pulled out the bike on the road, settled it back on the road, in the shade and took the stock of the damages, and then it happened…

S. Baljeet Singh took over to fix the things on his own, with little help from Manish’s hand-picked spares and the tool kit assembled from various guys…
He almost single handedly put everything back in the place…
Brake lever was set right, and then discovered that something more of it needs to be fixed. He put his imagination to work and set that also right… foot pegs can be straightened very well with the might of Chhotu and Astad (whose heel of a shoe gave way…)

But the perfection with which Baljeet put right the gear-shift lever was un-parallel… he made it almost as good as original…

I think, we all could just enjoy that half an hour break from ride by chit-chatting and friendly bantering only because Sardar-ji took whole responsibility of making Raya’s bike road-worthy again…

Hats off to you Baljeet… Hip hip hurray…
