This Sunday, we rode on the Sholapur highway 9 as we wanted a quick ride. We met at 7am at the Magarpatta flyover. It is a national Highway which connects Pune- Hyderabad- Machilipatnam. There are no ghats (mountain roads) on this highway hence we got to ride on long straight stretches. There are also a lot of interesting destinations on this highway which we will explore in our future rides and write about it for you. We rode 80 kms on the highway and took a U-Turn towards the city again. You will find a lot of Maharashtrian breakfast points. We halted at Kanchan Hotel in the Uruli Kanchan area for a tea break on our return journey. It is famous for chai served in a clay pot, missal pav and Vada Pav. We had some snacks and resumed our journey.
It was a quick ride as we had to attend an event of Suzuki in the city at 9:30 am. This event was at the Cocoon Restaurant at Magarpatta, Pune. The event was held by Dream Bikes showroom. It was a display event for some bikes of Suzuki that were being transported to the factory via Pune. Bunty, the owner of Dream Bikes, spoke with the officials at Suzuki and asked for the bikes to be displayed in the city for the local riders. This way, the riders will be able to give feedback on the motorcycles that hadn't been launched. Some of the bikes that were on display were Suzuki S1000, Burgman (650 cc automatic and trip tonic) and a stunning 125cc scooter which was a mini version of Burgman. None of these bikes have been launched yet and Suzuki hasn't decided the price range or if they should launch either of the scooters. The bikes were brilliant and a must have for any bike enthusiast.
