Default How has xBhp helped you?

How has xBhp helped you?

Over the years, there have been innumerable notes of thanks and posts of appreciation spread over equally innumerable threads. Enough has been expressed for everyone to be sure that xBhp has been a positive force for all who have touched it or have been touched by it. That you’ve become better as a motorcyclist, a photographer, a traveler or even as a friend by being a part of the xBhp fraternity. In short, xBhp has in all probability facilitated your transformation into a more aware, fulfilled and a responsible human being.

Those who have been a part of this brotherhood have found friendships that have lasted years and are still going strong, have found solutions to problems they didn’t know how to solve, have learnt facts and nuances of motorcycling that they may not have otherwise and have forged bonds of a shared passion with fellow riders across the country.

As the first xBhpian, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing its entire growth and evolution. From a mere sapling as a lone on-line club, xBhp today stands firm and strong as a huge shady tree that’s also been the breeding ground for numerous off-shoots like itself, other groups that have taken root and grown along similar lines.

In this thread, I request you all to please come forward and put into words all that xBhp has brought you in life – be it a friend, a new way of life, an inspiration or even a vision.Come forth and express yourself, in true honesty of purpose and meaning, so that we all share and make for a better future together.

xBhp has helped me to grow is all I would like to say. It has not only given me some real GOOD friends, but has also helped me to grow as a motorcyclist and as a human being. And I am sure these friendships would continue for a lifetime.

We all are, in some or the other way, thankful to xBhp.

Thumbs up :)

xBHP has bought a entire change in my lifestyle.Now all i can think of is safety.Be it on roads or in daily routine, i follow precautions.

As we all experienced here that through xbhp we found really good friends.Be it online or offline, they are there always for you

And i think it's pride to be a member of (SAFE) Biking group which i think is largest among all biking groups in India.

From here i got knowledge about all types of technical stuff and off course the TEST RIDES which when told to others (apart from xBHP) made them jealous

From my childhood, I always had a craze for bikes. Craze for touring on bikes. But everyone else around me were different.They did not have the same feel what I had. I thought, ok I was doing something wrong. Bikes are not everything.Biking was not a word on my dictionary.

But everything shed away when I first arrived at Xbhp via google. Here, I was literally overwhelmed by seeing the enormous amount of ppl belonging to a religion called BIKING. That was when I knew that I was not whom I was. I had also followed the same principles of biking without giving it a name.Without knowing what it was.But now I can proudly boast about belonging to India's largest biking community or to say, the temple of the bike god uniting all bikers under one roof. Xbhp has done wonders to my life so far. Made friends, learnt the art of safe riding, bikism etc etc. Words cannot express my feeling of gratitude which I have towards Xbhp. Long live Xbhp. Long drive Sunny bhai.. Jai Hind..

First of all a BIG Thanks to Sunny Sir coming up with this Kind of Gesture..

XBHP in my personal opinion is the best you can ever get and this is a special thanks to you Sir and to the people in it--like you. I know,that sounds a bit corny. No need to worry. Not everything on this site is corny.
XBHP someway or the other has helped in making me as a Good Human Being.

There were so many occasions to show gratitude. And yet, there were millions of times when I did not express it. Days whiz by with no time to spare and then the usual official work which prevented to pen down those wonderfull comments to any thread.

I Dream to have Everything on this website right from biking to everything else you can think of. Wow! That may be too tall an order. For now, I hope I can help you find the perfect way to share these two simple words with someone and i.e "THANK YOU"

Long Live XBHP...

  • Bundle of escalation emails from Network admin for excessive usage of internet bandwidth, courtesy Tourer threads, offline G2G thread.
  • Good old blessings from parents and wife for hanging out on xBHP.com all day long.
  • Marked as Stunter by office colleagues because of the riding gear(I hardly do stunts).
  • Marked as "Guy who changes bikes every year" by friends.
  • Bashing a guy who rides without helmet.
  • Great photograhper...at least for my office colleagues
Apart from these small and minor things that hardly matter, it the personal satisfaction that what matters the most. Stumbled upon to xBHP few years ago with help of Satish (ID: onlinesatish) via Orkut for my first Hyderabad Drag G2G. Later on its was all knowledge gathering, inter-person communcation, Meets, brotherhood and network.

Not just detailed knowledge of Motorcycles, but its the brotherhood that we find out in forums like these, with every one of similar interest of motorcycling that binds us. Made lots of friends, hanged out togethor for Counter-Strike Meets, Met-Just-Like-that meets is what enables the strong bond between each other. Though photograhpy has been early interest, xBHP has nurtured it to take to higher levels with inspiration and copying of some great pictures from Sunny, and great wisdom advises from beloved Oldfox...Its was great meeting Sunny, Oldfox, Sunil and Shaily at Hyderabad during Castrol Event.

at the end after xBHP it was a sensible rider, able knowledge in motorcycles, good friend to many.

Thanks to Sunny for sharing such an intersting platform and helping to it grow along with the membesr.
Not to forget the hardwroking moderators Aryan, Sunil, Ken, Rossiter, Synn, Noor, Oldfox...err did I missed any one! Thanks to all.
