Take a pause guys.

Not talking on sunny's behalf, but having known him for so many years so closely, i can say with authority that all these talks of xbhp being sold to Mahindra are utter nonsense and rubbish. I've seen him taking care of xbhp like his own kid, certainly he loves it more than anybody here. Yet change is the law of nature. If you don't change with time, you will be left behind. And like OF said, every relationship is based upon trust and faith, and xbhp has never betrayed its members. It stood up against all odds just because of support and faith that you, the creators of xBhp, had in it. So let us all not be so negative and have faith that whatever lies ahead will only take the cause of xbhp and biking further. Let us think positive.

All relationships, barring those close to a total divergence in thought and heading for an imminent divorce, are built on a basic premise of trust. Kinship is about mutual faith and respect. About a tendency to believe what one does shall intrinsically be for the good of the other. About giving the other the benefit of doubt. Ironically, when a relationship has been around for long enough, it devolves into a habit. I say devolve because for something special to become a mere habit is definitely degeneration.

xBhp has become a habit for most here. And this devolution has led to an apparent paucity of trust. The all pervading obsession with the negative and the materialistic has apparently eroded the spirit of faith. The very first thought is of having been used. Because that’s what you see around you in such large measure and so frequently at that. It’s almost a reflex that makes you think about a sell-off, a compromise, a betrayal or abandonment. I guess the words here have revealed more about the sad state of the prevalent thought than about what might be – post 27th Sept.

Trust in Sunny that he will not take away something so valuable not only to himself but also to you all. Technically he has the right. But then are we machines? There’s blood flowing inside guys, not oil. Trust him that what comes from this apparent catastrophe will be better than what has been. Don’t the past seven years of progressive growth stand witness to it? Progressive for everyone involved in or with xBhp.

Speculate with reason born of logic and imagination, not reason born of cynicism. Let’s look forward to the big change, whatever it may be, with optimism and faith in what has been. xBhp has belonged not to one man but all who have been baptized into it with a new name and identity. And it shall continue to belong.

Ride long and safe...

Peace, & some positive thoughts please.

Lol, this reminds me of Chicken Little who had an acorn fall on his head and he ran around telling all the other animals that the sky is falling.

Waiting to see what transpires on the 28th.

i wish xbhp to be as like team-bhp

One more speculative post from me...
(I am getting good at this!)

1. Chat feature coming in just like on FB (perhaps it will work better than FB chat)
2. Video chat option
3. 3D zone where you can flip a motorcycle around
4. How-to video zone
5. Store front with secure check-out etc.
6. Join-the-ride zone where a member can click a button corresponding to any Xbhp ride and the details of the ride will be sent to him by PM, Email and SMS!

If chat comes in with gtalk (for example) integration, it will be really cool!
