was that "appropriate"?????????

Dude ? Whats wrong with you ? Its almost criminal to think like that.

there are several guys on motorcyles out there who bought the machine just to impress the chicks and to stand out in the crowd and doesnt even know where the bikes's plug is located the one they're riding...

Whats wrong with riding good machines and not knowing where bikes plug ( which one did u have in mind btw ?) is located at ?

PASSION is outgunned by money.....
most of the times...

my cousin bought ZMA recently, and calls me one day and says why the service guys are changing it's oil at every service????

i smiled.....
bcoz the guy who does it at the service shop is a 18 year old boy, knowing the bike inside out, dreaming of having these machines, knowing the fact that may he wont ever have them.....

still see who owns and rides the bike...

"appropriate" my A##.........
(EL LOCO DIABLO it's on my view according to what i wrote,no offence to anyone)

rich little kids riding proper bikes,and proper bikers have to get their drool satisfied by the 4 stroke mopeds name bikes....

and never when the money crushes everything in it's path,making things right for even the worlds most D#%khead driver...

right from bribing the RTO to get the driving licence at the wrong age,
rich parents giving high power bikes to their "KIDS",
flashing a 100,150,500 ka ghandhi ji to police waala when these kids crash their powerfull bikes which their immature mind cannot handle and then going smiling way back home...

MONEY makes everything appropriate....
to and for most of the people.

lets pray for the several passionate guys out there,who cant affort to have one, that one day they will have their bikes....

I dont know if you are against rich kids or rich parents (you dont have to be against either tbh). But theres nothing wrong in gifting someone or buying for oneself a good machine as long as one can afford it. There are many riders out there on good machines and have no idea where any plug is but they aint dickheads in their lives. They spend their time elsewhere..

xiinfii on the earlier page sums it up pretty good and he speaks out of experience

Well,spending your own hard earned money is one thing,spending others mi eventually got with my dad not even oney somehow doesn't feel right...atleast to me

Right said.it is because all parents are deeply loving their kids,and want to satisfy their desires(even they didn't enjoyed in their younger age).
spending lavishly their money apart,some riders are doing stunts in public roads without any safety gear.shame on those daredevils.
atleast if they could understand their parents love,(and as responsible biker considering others safety also in public) they must stop this nonsense.
(this is not meant to hurt anybody.i penned down my thoughts because just today also, i have seen a accident because of a stupid rider.)

that is my point, this is what i wrote to diffrentiate here...

I am asking u which plug cause there isnt only a spark plug in a bike which gets qualified as a plug ! U can take off your sunglasses now !

Quote:

my point was with the general guys and the ones who ride the bike without getting it's soul..
to understand my point, you got to think from a bikers heart....

I am a biker at heart and I dont understand your point. I am objecting cause you are taking potshots at anyone not being as nerdy with the bikes as what we are and basing that as a reason for him to be non deserving of the bike.
If your cousin knows less about engine oil than the mechanic at service station its rightfully so and doesnt make him non deserving of the bike. Some ppl just buy a bike for fun and profit ...not to be a mechanic...not to do burnouts.

Quote:

biking wont be earning you bread and butter, nor the location and meaning of plug.....

You are putting words together without thinking on them.
Both biking and knowing the location and meaning of whichever plug u mean here is capable of earning you bread, butter and if u r good at it it will earn u some wine to go along with it too. But that was not the discussion here and i shall refrain from it.

Nevermind..its just ur opinion and i dont know why i got so worked up !

I feel that I am appropriate for biking. I am completely addicted towards it. I save each and every penny and use it for petrol. I chose a bike which gives me the max mileage, so that I could ride more, more and much more. There is a thin line of difference between 'needs' and 'wants'. I didn't let my wants overpower my needs. I've suffered many losses in the past by choosing wants over needs, and thankfully I did not commit the same mistake while buying a bike.

Very well said about the need and want thing

So renny,

you want God to drop bikes on earth and everyone ets one according to their "appropriateness" ?
Is that what you are saying or did i misinterpret ?

my points are:

1. My cousin is only 15 and rides a ZMA purchased 3 months back, is this right for his age to drive a bike like this cuz he's not matured enough to handle 220CC's and 17 odd PS.

2.This brings me to the mech working at the serv station, i believe at the age of 18 he has seen the bikes and knows them inside out much more good than many of us who falls in the age group of 22-30....

3.Coming to the spark plug if you're gonna ask any biker where the plug is 99 out of 100 will point you the spark plug....

4. Just biking and taking it as a full time profession are different worlds....
that was my point on "Bread and Butter".

1.IMO giving ANY geared vehicle to a 15 yr old is a crime.Maybe you could report it to the police.Then,if all of us follow your example,many under age guys on bikes will be saved from death/accidents.

2.He was not lucky like us to go to a good school and continue education.And to earn he had to learn about bikes.
Now would it put him to shame if a computer engineer goes to him and shows him a couple of tricks? He won't even compare cause the external factors in our lives are very different.

3.99 out of 100 ? Then you accept that most of us here on this website do not know the M of motorcycle mechanics ? And if you are one of the 99 then you shouldn't even have written what you did.

4.Pointless

and yours need some correction but you wont let that happen.
You started out bashing everyone who is not nerdy with bikes and then end up saying you didnt mean it that way. I dont think you ever had a point to make at all.

If two ppl have a difference of opinions,they debate over it and settle it out.what is the point of just keeping your thoughts to yourself ?
