The highway was so beautiful that I had no intentions to stop and keep on riding on this heaven on earth.
I crossed Hubli-Dharwad, now Pune was 450 odd KMs from here. I kept going and stopped for few clicks, and recording in my phone [Voice recordings]. No tiredness, no stiffness, I had already covered 500+ Kms for the day and had no worries in mind.
Feeling of love for Royal Enfield and for the highways kept igniting the spirit to go ahead and I reached Kohlapur. Meter on bullet was reading 12000 KMs crossed :).

I had a dialogue with local people : First on the road while shooting a video, second in Toll's security room with guards and learned things about Karnataka-Maharashtra border.
Nature blessed me with rain and I took my rain-cover and enjoyed the drizzle on ride.
After rain, NH4 , the beauty shined and I saw the sun shifting placed and going down. I was in outskirts of Pune and in construction zone, traffic started building as I was approaching the city.

For food, I stopped by at a Punjabi Dhaba and had a homely talk with a driver/transporter from Punjab. I refuelled from nearby station and kept on going.

It got dark and I called my friend Gaurav Jha and confirmed his place. My first halt was waiting in Pimpri-Chinchwad Area.
