Hi All,
Stage 1 - Back when Pulsar was launched, was in my tenth grade. A neighbor bought a P180. I was so influenced by the same that it immediately got a place in my 'when you grow up, buy it' list <others things included in list are still awaiting as petrol khatam he nahi honda :P>. With a RX100 and Eliminator standing in my home parking <landlord's son>, things were not so good and i quenched my thirst for speed on my pal's hero puch. @Dehradun. :P Stage 2 - Intermediate passed, engineering passed and with my parents being the cautious they were, never could make themselves understand that bike is not a way to hell. and i just gazed at all those machines around me still unaware that a bike moves when you leave the clutch and pick up the throttle in sync. Honda Activa finally made way at home for little sister, and the adrenaline started to pump, feeling need, need for speed. Raced with bikes, beating them in traffic with parallel thought that one day when i'll have bike, i'll never let some Activa guy zoom past me. :P Stage 3 - <A year back> Got a job and landed in Pune, on a down payment of 20K and rest all on loan on a fresh salary, got my black P180 . I learned how to ride and started off as a normal commuter with going around City and office.Come today, Bike clocked 20K yet. Have done Pune - Ooty - Pune <5 days, 2.5K Kms> with Pune - Bangalore in 13 hours. Pune - Goa - Pune <Including night ride of 350 Km> Pune - Delhi - Pune <4 days, 3.5K Kms> Gone 131 Kmph, tamed Lavasa corners. and various other medium to short duration rides. Today bike completed 14 Months and it is sold today itself. Some things have to end and i think this is it. It was a great run and i loved every bit of it. As it has been said, we have to make place for new ideas and evolve. Enough said, R15 version 2 scheduled to be delivered within next two weeks. ![]() Ride On, Akshat |
