This is the view from my house.
Few of you may recognise this bit of NH544.
We purchased this house almost 30 years back just because of the view of highway and my attraction towards automobiles. Through the years, i would watch a lot of cars and in recent decades; tonnes of bikers in this piece of road and secretly wish on long rides. With a 6 day work week, it is not the most practical option to go on rides in the weekend and it excited me to have weekday commutes of decent length. (That and me being an introvert, i rarely enjoy large groups and group rides). When you combine these with the bike that i own. Duke 200 is one of those bikes with just enough power not to overpower its chassis. It has a super stiff chassis and amazing cycle parts for the money it charges. You think of executing a maneuver and the bike just responds the exact same way you wished it for. Makes it fun even at 3/10th or 4/10th of its massive capability. Yes the rides give me sore bum, but the joy you get in riding this easily exceeds any inconvenience. With such roads and a mighty steed at my disposal, these commutes become the bright spot of my daily routine.
