Very well written!!

Here's my addition
"Pleasure is when petrol becomes cheaper than water"

jampachakarbp · 09-16-2009, 04:03 PM

---Pleasure of passing through a bunch of vehicles at a crossing just to make sure you'll be the 1st one to cross once the signal turns Green
---Pleasure of moving far out of the town as if never wanting to return back here again
---Pleasure of not thinking too much on the budget.....just to move a distance
---Pleasure of riding through footpath where other left honking for space
---Pleasure of standing by a Car and people inside staring at you wondering just how much the rain was outside
---Pleasure of not complaining on heavy traffic for being late
---Pleasure felt slowing down after touching the best speed so far even if it is just 90-95km/hr
---Pleasure of airlifting your front wheels just show off your confidence at the start
---Pleasure of riding inversely on a One Way Road

And Above All (I Guess)

---Pleasure when removing your Helmet and shaking you head as you sparge off your sweat, exhibiting your Pride and Glory of Being a Biker

Well two of the above 'pleasures' are illegal, you shoun't be pleased to do them

---Pleasure of riding through footpath where other left honking for space
---Pleasure of riding inversely on a One Way Road

If someone else did it and you were on the receiving side, I am sure you wouldn't feel the pleasure :P

Few Pleasure of Motorcyling I discovered on my lifetime journey to LEH

1. Pleasure of Motorcycling is wearing the same T-shirt & Jeans for 3 days while riding thru the Himalayas & assuming its not dirty & still fresh.
2. Pleasure of Motorcycling is Coming downhill on a mountain in speed & suddenly riding over a gravel, getting sure about a fall & then you come to a stop safely after struggling to brake.
3. Pleasure of Motorcycling is riding through a water puddle & praying that we dont have to slow down & STEP DOWN to make our shoes dirty & wet..
4. Pleasure of Motorcyling is almost falling when a tiny stone comes on the way while taking a corner & then we safely straighten out bike & smile back to realise we missed a fall while taking corner at 80kmph.
5. Pleasure of Motorycling is ignoring a beautiful chick passing by being proud of being a Biker & keep riding..

Amazing stuff!! Really touched my heart and i feel proud to be a motorcyclist or a Biker.

One pleasure from my side:
The pleasure when you wake up at night and look at your bike with loving eyes and feel proud to be the owner of this bike. I love it

.......you leave brand new car at home and take your good old bike and feel like a free bird.....

.......while you ride your new bike home, you keep a watch on tacho and speedo and maintain strict speed/rpm

.....first ride where you almost 'listen' to the 'crisp' metal removal by the piston rings.....
