I give up biking in India . yes, i am pussy. - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

]|[ GorE · 05-08-2009, 03:27 PM

As exciting as it may be , the injuries and the time and money lost are not worth it . India has shit roads with thousands of random variables where anything can go wrong at any time , including my riding mistakes . Screw this . Henceforth , my bike is gonna be used for pure commuting purposes ; not sporty commuting either . No more leaning , no more heavy front braking .

Maybe when I afford a track day and full riding gear , I might take it up once more in the future (once i get a job ) . Not in India, anyways. It was nice hanging around these forums . Bye bye !

Off-Topic Approved.

That is way you look at it really. I don't understand this 'giving up' thing. If you look at things this way, then I bet there are MORE things to give up, not just biking!

Anyways, since you have bid farewell to it, well, Bye Bye!

Just for academic interest... where are you from by the way?

He really is from Pune..

If I am not mistaken, he was manhandled by a couple of goons in Pune. I do not blame him to be in a shocked frame of mind for a couple of days...

But dude...once a biker, always a biker...no matter what you decide, if you have it in your blood, you will be back
