Fair enough..!!

My wife is of the opinion that there are only three bikes, Splendor(small), Pulsar(medium) and Karizma(Large) Everybike to her is either a Splendor or a Pulsar and once in a while that bigger faired Karizma(anything that is faired is a Karizma).

Though I am more than happy with my KB and Jawa, every now and then I tell her that I mite want to get a new one, she says - U must get a Karizma I have failed numerous times trying to educate her that there are others in the form of Apache, Unicorn, R15 etc etc etc - and an instant reply comes "they all look the same to me" and I am not supposed to laugh :P.

The other day my 4yr son fell and got a little hurt and was about to start crying and to deviate his attention she showed him a bike a guy was parking on the other side of the road and said "hey! look a pulsar", even while starting to cry the little one replied "mama that is the new Passion plus and not a pulsar" - ok now I am unable to word the reactions that followed

ROFL that was funny....

Your son is the future of Indian biking. Helmets off to him

That's quite hilarious

and he is only half as enthusiastic about bikes compared to his elder bro

Wow nice thread. Real funny the way female species despise our bikes.

Real incidentAfter I communicated my wishes of getting myself a new bike after selling my Yamaha Gladiator)
She: (in romantic mood) Wow! I want something in which I could lean on you and we can go for a long ride on the highway.
Me: (Hormones boosted 1000x at the thought of a premium 200cc+ bike) Sure dear, will pakka get one nice fast bike & we'll go on a long ride. (Immediately opening up google search on my phone) See, this one looks awesome na? (Pulsar 200 NS)
She: No, it will be too small for u (Honest reply, i am around 5'9" and 87KGs)
Me: Ok, this one would really be good. (R15v2)
She: Where will I sit? Won't I get blown away by the wind? It's scary!
Me: You have to like this one (CBR 250)
She: Yes, it's nice. Looks good in red. Looks like an imported bike
Me: (WTH...does the NS200/R15v2 look desi?) OK we'll check it out this weekend.
She: How much will it cost?
Me: Only 1.8L for the top end..(keep screaming about the 23.5 BHP, ABS blah blah)
She: And what about the white one? (Referring to Yamaha)
Me: Slightly lesser. You will like it dear (Again, blabbering about R15's tech specs)
She: Let's buy a car na dear? How much more will an Alto cost? (Endless lectures about safety, not getting wet in rains, spaces for would-be kids and current moms-in-law and blah and blah and blah)

END OF DISCUSSION. END OF ROMANTIC RIDES.

OMG, still cant stop laughing
Its like showing all the delicious food in the menu cover, but then u are served only health diet...


PS- 200NS looks small in pictures, but its actually quite big in flesh. IN fact guys of 5.8' cant get both feet down properly.

Rule #1. Grand Daughter ()/Daughter/Wife/Mom/Gf/Sister Your pet female feline or canine want to be #1. Always. They always want to be the one you would sacrifice your life.

They hate us cleaning our rides, spending time over it, and only the blind would use words like, " attractive", "sexy", "Hot", "Curves", "bomb" etc. ( while referring to bikes to the above mentioned class)

But, If they do know the wheels are never going to be a competition, then it doesn't matter. Balance as some would prefer to call it .

There is no Rule #2/3/4.

Once, they feel they are #1, then purchases could be gifts.

My only advice to autonuts is to marry an autonut or convert them into one. (Err I mean the one into one and the rest of the gang.)

But then, you might end up fighting for the keys! More fun

LOL that was what I was trying to do...after all that wooing and tempting with seducing tales of long rides on smooth highways with a drizzle of romantic rain (Man! you really need a ton of IQ to talk to females!!!! ), all I got was a FREE suggestion to buy an ALTO - And I could do nothing but remain silent, to prevent the world from WW4

Me and GF returning from a movie when someone in traffic hits my RVM and rushes past! The RVM comes loose. (Classic ZMR design issue )

I get down and start tightening it. (I keep allen key size 6 always with me)

GF - Tumhaare bike k kaan kitne lambe hain! Jo dekho, kaan pakad k chala jaata hai. (referring to the incident which just happened)
Me - (full of love)

GF - Ek kaam karo, dono RVMs hata do. Traffic me aasani hogi....
Me - (Long lecture on safety blah blah)

GF - Hata k dekho to. Jagah jagah ruk kar tight karte rehte ho.
Me - Ok, but achcha nahi lagega aur dangerous bhi...

GF -
Me - (Removes both RVMs). Dekho, hata diya!

GF - Arrey, tumhaari bike to taklu ho gayi. (starts laughing madly)
Me - then then ...

Hahaha funny

@Divya Sharan : That was hilarious

hahahaha ROFL as a ZMR owner,I can feel your words

Funny but it is true.
