        It can't get any better than this!

        ps- Last year during my board examinations I read 3 Int. bike mags before the SST exam,just to ease out, and I came out witha high score!!!(I know this is blankly connected)

          Amazing writeup. At this point of time the only thing i know that i am honest with is my bike. Can open up to her anytime and anywhere.
          Wish i could implement the same in all the aspects of my life.
          No second thoughts about the lessons learnt with motorcycling.
          My learning curve has always went up and probably is the only curve not affected by recession.

          p.s: dont know if this it OT, just came out. Cheers

            Nicely Written...

            Great to read such an article. But dear brethren as an advise do try to keep the language simple as sometimes people like me who don't have enough grasp on the language they call as English, have hard time reading and then interpreting the meaning. Or may be its not about english but it seem to be cluttered with words. Like mine making it difficult to read.

            Maybe i am wrong but it doesn't matter as i need to speak my mind out.

                    It can....but this will suffice for the moment I guess
                    The connection is remote but very much there 'augusta'. Biking is about passion and commitment. And you need those two to succeed in anything else too.

                    Thanks. And yes, nothing in biking is far from other avenues of life. Only perception can bring in the distance or vanquish it.

                    Thanks for the good words 'faraz'. As for the difficulty and 'cluttering', well, an effort makes for sweeter fruit.

                    Thanks and welcome. The best use of riding is in growing within, evolving as the truest 'professional', both in skills and temperament.

                      Fabulous expression!
                      When I ride, I forget everything in the world&I start 'feeling' my bike. I can feel her working everytime I change a gear, engage the clutch, speed up on an open road, brake, even when I'm pressing the engine cut-off switch. In other words, I feel as though I'm one with the bike. All this has been happening ever since I first rode a bike at the age of 8.
                      I cannot describe this to any non-biker, since they all think I'm crazy.
                      Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                        Appreciation & my two cents.

                        Thanks Mr. Goswami. Like when I told you in person, I love to read your articles.

                        From an amateur thinker and writer like me, I know at times it can be hard to be cohesive. But you always manage to get it right. Guess, that's the experience on your side. But I will get there soon.

                        As for biking & life. Very true. I have been feeling the same way since the last few months. Its a good practice to try and marry the passion and commitment you put into motorcycling with the other aspects of day-to-day life.
