gas that shook my bullet!

It was years ago when as a marketing man I had to cover many towns and districts within my territory in my said job. For this purpose my company has given for my use a sturdy royal Enfield bullet.

In one of such 5-day travel my branch manager offered to join me to help me out in my assignments, whatever he meant by that. I could not say no, so he was my Pillion for a first time.

I was comfortably riding on some maharashtra highway when suddenly my bike gave a unexplained sideways jerk!

I was bit worried that something is wrong. I stopped my bike and requested my Pillion to get down the bike s o that I could find out what the problem could be.

Chain link was OK, no puncture, wheel nut was intact.

Simply worried a bit, I continued the ride.

After some time, I experienced a similar jerk more pronounced than the earlier one! I was really pissed off, twice is too much!

I stopped my bike, asked my Pillion to get down and started looking at my bike from all decipherable angles to find out the cause of this weird jerk.

Then Mr. Kalyanasundaram, my Pillion no asked me what the problem is.

I told him I felt some sort of heavy jerk in the bike twice in a span of some 20 minutes. And that I am to look for the culprit for the same.

He lamely smiled and said 'oh, is it? Sorry, sitting tight on the seat I could not release gas anymore so I had to lift my leg to fart comfortably! Maybe that's the jerk you felt!'

He never accompanied me in my travels again is beside the point.
