I started riding My HH Passion when i was 16 years 9 months old. But the mileage i done in the very first year was hardly 1500 kms, as i was not very keen on riding without valid driving licencse. An Xbhpian in making.

I rode LML Sensation scooter as a first geared two wheeler…then Bajaj Kawasaki 4S. I was 17 then.
I did not face any problem while learning a geared bike the only issue that I faced was getting a scooter back in neutral.

I was 18 when i learnt to ride my dad's HH Splendor
Upgrading from a Hercules Top Gear, the 7.3 Bhp increment was quite something.
The brakes were the most impressive aspect of the upgrade. For once, i could actually stop when i saw a pedestrian running across the road looking in the other direction
And in Bangalore, such pedestrians can be found at every intersection...

I was eleven years old (Class 5) when i rode the first geared 2 wheeler..It was a Kinetic Spark (moped with gears ). My first 100CC+ was in class 8th @ age 14 (Kawasaki KB 100)

I know i was underage and thats not the right age to start riding but the childhood excitement was beyond compare to any sane thinking process

I was 9 when I first rode my Uncle's Hero Puch (2 gears) alone all the way to the Airport&back. All my family members were very scared, coz I hadn't informed them of course, but I made it back safe!

I was 9. I took my Uncle's Hero Puch (2 geared) all the way to the Airport alone. My family was in great fear, but I somehow made it back safe&sound!

I didn't know how to ride a bike when I bought my amby.. I was 17 then.. I spent the night staring at the ceiling not knowing what to do. I was very terrified of the consequences and such.. At 3 in the morning, I snuck out of the house and dragged the bike to the main road.

Methinking) gotta learn...gotta learn....

*check neutral*
*thumb starter*
yay! the bike's growling.... Me wringing the throttle for the first time...

VROOMM!!! VROOM!!

engage first gear..

THWACK!! The bike stalled!!

Oh S**T! I had completely forgotten to press the clutch!!

I tried again..followed the protocol..This time I gave too much throttle and the bike went flying.. somehow I was able to control and brought the bike down..tried again.. and again till I was able to ride her comfortably in third gear..

In the morning,My mum was pleasently surprised to see me going out on my bike...

That, friends, was my first tryst with any bike...
