The first step complete

A couple of months ago, I found online a Shogun located somewhere in the outskirts of Chennai. His asking price was Rs.32,000. I quickly called my youngest brother, who promptly went and picked up the bike for Rs.30,000. Rajiv wasn't a expert at judging bikes, but he said it looked fine enough.

I saw it this time when I was in Chennai. It was just as he said - fine enough. But in reality it was pretty much a patched up Shogun. There was no way this one was in anyway going to replace the bike I lost.

This meant, I was going to invest more than just time into this bike... I was going to have to invest everything: Friendship, social skills and of course a lot of money.

The almost endless pursuit for the Last Shogun has begun...
