I came across Xbhp when I visited the Auto Expo 2008( I came to Delhi in June 2007). I was quite elated to learn that there were ohter people on this planet who share the passion with me. My friends used to call me a maniac when I used to say that someday I would own a sbk. Right after I got back from the Expo I loggrd in and created my id but hardly used it. I always yearned to get to the G2g's but didnot have a bike then. I actively started participating in g2gs when I got my ZMA in April 2010. And then on it is a pleasant journey, have earned myself some good freinds and gained a lot of knowledge.

Anyways, changes in me due to xbhp. Today I am a lot more sedate & safe rider. Earlier I used to ride my Hero Puch like a R1. But now I know how to tame the ZMA. Earlier, I wore a helmet to escape from the mamus. Today it has become a part of my riding. Thorugh, Xbhp I came to know a lot about bikes & their technology. Today I feel proud when my freinds approach me for some suggestions about which bike to buy. Though, it a long way to go. As some wise man said " Learning ends with life".

Proud to be an X-bhpian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before i joined xbhp i was, well a hazard on the road, i was exactly the kind or maniac motorcyclist who everyone hates.
Through xbhp i became more sensible and mature towards my riding, nowadays i barely go above 50 inside the city and cutting through traffic has almost completely stopped, have started using my indicators properly and hav stopped thinking that the horn is some sort of musical instrument that i can play while riding
Have become a much safer and responsible rider and have developed sensibility to respect other road users.

Bro you took all my words.. which i was thinking in my mind to write..will the page was loading.
Adding in it.. here i have learnt a lot about bike which is not possible until we own that very bike.

Most important thing which i have learnt is wearing a helmet, i even feel now that wearing a helmet is very cool thing it add stars to personality .

well, a lot can be written on the topic, and most of it is already covered, but xbhp has made us better bikers. helped improve ourselves as a rider/biker and as an individual.

I've become a biker.

P.S.: For those still unaware; I pick up my helmet before the key.
Dont honk unnecessarily. And "prefer pass light cuz I always assume the guy in the front is deaf".
Dont overtake from the left (recently found out that side is where the idiots of the road generally prefer jumping onto from no where).
Use the indicators cuz "I paid for the indicators, so I will use it".
Have almost completely stopped performing stunts.
Avoid riding too fast when near a School and completely avoid honking near it aswell as any hospital.
I was a fanboy back then. I'm a fan now.
I ride THE most beautiful bike on the planet, there are and will always be idiots revving too close to me, honking, "challenging" me for a race. I ignore. Always.
Biking has become a pleasurable experience from the experience to more from point A to B.

Bottomline: I've become a biker from just a regular rider.
