For a moment there, we thought it was a faulty console. But then we look at the keys of our respective motorcycles and guess what, both of them read the serial number 5016 ![Cheering](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Cheering.gif) . What are the odds of two best friends ending up with the same key for their bikes? |
Reminded me of a incident, which my cousin had with his Pulsar 150.
This happened many moons back with my cousin who had a blue color first gen Pulsar 150. Since, he was in merchant navy he used to sail for around 6 months at a stretch and the bike was used by his younger brother occasionally and was not well maintained. He had just come back home a few days back after singing off from his ship and wanted to go for a haircut so took the Pulsar to a nearby saloon. After his haircut he sat on the bike started it and was riding back home, when he realized the bike felt much smoother to ride on the return journey and overall felt better. Not giving it too much thought came back home parked it a its usual place and went to his home. after sometime the younger brother took the keys to go out and came back to the house after sometime to inform that the bike is not at the place where they park it and asked his brother if he parked it somewhere else and he replied back in the negative and said he parked it right there.
Both go down to check in the parking and suddenly the elder one shouts there its parked right there and you're saying you can't find it to which the younger one says but this is not ours read the number plate
Now, what could be the odds of another Blue Pulsar 150 being parked at the same spot and your own bike missing. On this the elder one says I was thinking why the bike felt so different on the way back and asked the younger one to insert they key to see if it starts and it did.
Panic kicks in as they have someone else's bike and have to go and park it at the same spot before the owner realizes or worst files a police complaint of a missing/stolen bike. The elder one starts riding it towards the saloon with the younger one sitting at the back and just as they exit their society and join the main road they spot a guy pushing another Blue Pulsar 150 and it belong to my cousin...
This is a kind of coincidence where GOD has the last laugh....After my brother got the other Pulsar home, the actual owner went to the spot only to find out his bike is missing. For some reason he thought someone else took his bike by mistake and started trying to start my cousins bike with his key but as luck would have it refused to acknowledge that key and luckily for him the bike didn't have its handle lock engaged. This guy was totally lost on what to do and called a friend who stays nearby to get his advice and he suggested he pushes that other Pulsar to his place so they can park it there and then try to find out/decide on the next steps. And guess what, this poor guys friend stayed in the same society where my cousin stays and the guy pushed the bike all the way and met my cousin riding his bike just outside the society.
My cousin got an earful from him and he had to prove his innocence by showing that his key actually worked on that guys bike. On which he said can't you read the number plate before sitting on a bike thinking its yours...He told him he just came back home after six months and had not ridden this bike so didn't realize this goof up.
In the end we all had a good laugh and my cousin was especially happy and thanking his stars as his bike was delivered right at his door step and didn't end up loosing his sleep by having possession of someone else's bike along with his ![Clapping](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/Clapping.gif) |
