Hi from Karthik - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

karkai6 · 10-04-2009, 02:26 PM

Hi everyone!! This is Karthik Pai. I work at Larsen & Toubro in Mumbai, though am originally from near Coimbatore.
I dont remember How I came to know of xbhp. But now that I know, I believe I can rely more on its member's opinions than many of the flattering reviews given on some of the magazines out there. I have browsing through these pages for months now and I am addicted to this forum. I will become a regular part of it soon.
About me, I am a huge huge racing freak, but with cars to be honest. Because it is easier to take risks, touch the limit, exceed it and learn about it without breaking limbs in a car than it is with a bike. But I am also a big touring fan, and I would go with a bike 100 out of 100 times for a tour beacuse its a completely different experience.
I own a RTR 180 which I will get in 3 days.I hope it will take care of my need for speed:-)
I completely respect xbhp, because it really promotes safe and sane high speed riding, and that is what made me really like this forum. You dont tolerate stupidity on the roads too:-)
So, Cheers to all of you... Hope to be friends with you people in the days to come...
