[Hard Torque]: Definition of a Biker - Page 4 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

betaal · 11-05-2009, 12:09 PM

I would say:

its not about irresponsibility, its about intellect of inner self.

I have always been a responsible rider, right from my childhood. I learnt to ride Luna even before I can balance a bicycle.

When I ride on highways with my Avenger 200, its not about showing off or riding fast (I am 30, with two kids). Its about thinking about myself, my loved ones, evaluations (not business but the inner self), appreciating and touching nature and romancing with tarmac and thoughts.

In short, you cant define what you love about biking, but you immediately know it when you are there.

But surprisingly most of the persons riding on the same tarmac cant feel this calmness and waves of thoughts and emotions, which we go through during rides and thus we are bikers.

Hence the differentiators are the emotions, sensitivity and intellectuality and not the BIKES we ride.

To me being a 'biker' is something wonderful...

When I used to ride my Zing to office and waited on the signal. I used to kind of just twist the throttle and quickly accelarate off the blocks even before the Pulsars and splendors had a chance to shift into second. The bikes then overtook me in a bit. I used to then stop on the side...and kiss her and talk and thank her for keeping me up...though she wasnt powerful enough. I used to talk to her all the while, well that to me is a biker...
Now when I have the Hunk and I ride all the way to office almost 25 kms, I know I feel one with the machine.

It doesnt matter what you ride...what matters is how you ride it and the emotions you attach.
That to me is the definition of a biker...

@ rennycornelius and El Loco Diablo, I would like to thank you guys for the definition and the write-ups. This is to let you know that I have taken few lines and edited them for a pamplet which the Shillong Xbhp members are currently preparing for promotion of Safer Riding habits and about xbhp in Meghalaya.

To me, as a motorcycle enthusiast, I tend to appreciate the discipline of raw physics as applied. It is the best form of mental as well as physical challenge. The cleaner is our conception of newtonian physics, the greater is our potential as good motorcyclists.

Also apart from this point is the relaxation that the stimulating dynamic condition induces in us.

Nice write up guys!!

Biking is really undefinable to me. When I ride my Bike, I can feel its awesome thunderous power. I understand it and it understood me.

A rider's power comes from within, its not what you ride its how much you know about your and your partner's (bike) flexibility and your limits. If you know your -veness and your +veness you can do anything you wish for. Just think and its within your reach and capability.

Biker.. hard to define: When you feel the fuel running through your veins, and the tank contains blood, you are the bike, n the bike is you.. then you become a biker I guess.. Atleast for me
