      welcome to xbhp and i really loved it and the Honda Eterno i too just love it .. my uncle owned the Honda Eterno way back .. i just loved that scooter and i always says thats the best i have ever rode .. the sound the suspension was something i loved in it .. but the scooter was really unlucky to stay with uncle as it had 2 major accidents and the riders of both accidents were injured very badly and uncle had to sell it as the 2nd accident was very bad .. the scooter almost riped in 2 peace ..

          @BloggingWheels: Truly awesome writeup!

          BTW, why adding suspense and not disclosing the bike you have bought now and more curiously, what is your 'Dream Bike'?

          Thanks xBhp for uniting me with passionate bikers!

            Welcome to xBhp BloggingWheels!

            Enjoyed reading your (real)story. And I agree with Sunny, it IS really from the heart..

            In these paragraphs itself I could picture/relate some incidents to my life!

            Happy Biking fellow xBhpian!

              i thought biking on roads was fun but xbhp made me realize that it is even more fun in sitting on couch,writing up post and meeting such fellow-riders like you.welcome to the world of friends on ride.
              and the question remains why do i race?
              every finishing line is the begining of a new race.

              #i have learnt to manipulate my own adrenaline and the perception of biking is different.
              #overkill is underrated.
              #how random roads may appear there is always a destination.sigpic
              #i don't subscribe to co-incidence,either it is the rider or the other moron on the road

              (:)people keeps on saying add spark to life, bajaj got hold of that idea and added an extra spark to bike.

                Were those tears that rolled down my cheeks or am I just imagining thing?!

                Beautiful is just an understatement.
                Loved every letter of what you wrote. Touched and inspired all the way. Amazing!

                    Welcome to xBhp. That was one of the most honest intro I've ever read. It is really never about what bikes you ride, it is about how you ride and how much you enjoy.

                    I'm sure your stay at this group will be enjoyable and you will keep blogging.

                          Glad to be there for you and gladder still to have you around in the community. You have grasped the essence of the spirit of biking and I wish and pray that this meaning stays with you throughout your riding life. Your honesty in expression is both commendable and touching. Do please stay that way.

                          I feel honored to mention the very very celebrated and respected member, Old Fox, whose write-ups and immense knowledge on bikes, only further ignited my every increasing penchant for quality writing, reading and troubleshooting bikes and everything related to it.
                          And I too feel honored and humbled by such words as above. Hoping to be around a long time and to keep those fires going within you!

                              Thanks Sunny! My passion for biking started with cycling (it's a long story and you will soon find me pouring my heart out on that! Till then keep waiting)

                              Mr Naughty, it can be safely assumed that Eterno was the best scooter to be launched in India till date! And thanks!
