The term “biker” has diff meaning as the people in this whole world….

For some it’s just wringing the throttle…
For some it’s sitting on the saddle and looking at the life through the fairing…
For some it’s packing the backpack and goin for the leh ride…
For some it’s the best deal to get the “feelings” when they take out their girl for a ride…
For some it’s nothing but to get to from point ‘a’ to ‘b’ that’s it……

When I started ‘Biking’ it was all of fun to me….

Not caring of anything, just giving it a full fisted treatment, pulling a wheelie when we used to spot a nice girl through the walk way, doin one hell of a burnout before goin to home when our tuitions used to end, not wearing helmet and feel the rush of the 80kmph speed wind at the hairs, driving rash cutting through the traffic at the third gear when my RTZ used to smoke like hell and making that demonic scream of a two stroke just to grab attention of the people standing at the red light….

That was biking to me when I was 16-18….

When my father bought me fiero, I was in college…

“Biking” was little changed by now….
I no longer found that 80kmph wind in my hairs a ‘rush’…
I realized pulling a wheelie in front of a chick is a dumbest thing I used to do…that too without helmet…
I realized wearing a helmet and driving looks more cool than drivin without it…

I was growing….biking in me was too….

Now when m 23, ‘Biking” is very diff for me now…
It makes me calm sometimes, earlier it always used to give me a mad rush….
When I rev the hell outta my bike I get a feeling that somehow m hurting her…
But before I never had such a feeling…

My bike is more of a buddy to me, who makes sure that if I want to win a traffic light GP, it’ll try it’s best to make me win that..
If I want to break my last leaning angle record, it’ll take the beating with ease…
If I want to pull her right to the red line in each gear.. it’ll happily show me it’s needle at the red sector…

For me “biking” starts and ends with my bike…
Cuz it’s the one who made it all possible…

This made the Heart pounding, like something amplifying the feelings....

Thanks, for translating feelings in words.....

Seriously, I have no idea what a biker is. To the studded leather clad hooligans, everyone is a sissy and not worthy of the bikers tag. To the responsible rider, the hooligans are just that, a bunch of hooligans and an embarrasement. To the damn care hippy who would ride out without a care for destination, others doesn't know the first thing about life as a biker. To those on 1000cc bikes, we perhaps are nothing much more than an amusement.

Me, I dont care what biker means or who a biker is. I maintain my bike well, I don my safety gear and I go where I meant to go.
If someone thinks I'm a biker. Ok. If someone thinks I'm not. Ok. If someone thinks I'm in between. Ok.
I'll still ride my ZMA happily. If I have more money, I'll buy a bigger one.

I agree to each and every word...

Werewolf · 09-30-2009, 11:57 AM

@El Loco-Great stuff dude.i agree on each and every word though the bike also matters a lot though not as much as the rider.

@rennycornelius-I don't find anything wrong with revving to the red line(The bike should be well maintained).Though i believe that you and the bike should deserve each other only then it might be possible.

Revving to the red line is not only a test for the bike but also for the rider.Hope you understand that someday!!
The bike is an extension of you (& your persona as a biker).
