    Very well written, I appreciate it.
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

          Very well written article there. Deep philosophical questions to daily life activities seems to bring so much out of so little.
          Riding is a way of life. Sometimes, it might also be a way of giving life. So Ride safe. In both contexts.

              The Ride has just begun for you my young friend .

              Nirvana is just merely an understatement . the feeling of being content is always short lived.

              the journey ahead is where all the adventure lies.
              your first bike which involves a lot of pain staking convincing ..
              the first few thousand kms of utmost restraint.
              the next few thousand kms of wrist wrenching ripping..
              that strange noise from your bike and the diagnostics involved..
              more convincing for longer tours..
              and finally up to the point where you come close to start wanting more..

              then it starts all over again..
              - You spend half your life before you realize your are ordinary, you then, either are too lazy to change or you do the extraordinary and change the world!

                hmmm.
                you, boy, live in an era of overdose. overload.
                its easy to be wanting what everybody else wants. its easy to want em just because u know everyone else desires em and so, u d be cool doing them litre bikes and all.
                many , rather every person out there is like that only.
                what separates you as a true biker/enthusiast is that you like it when you are on any ride, even an un-jealousy-provoking ete(erno??). your blood boils if someone degrades your ride. you adore the honda 400 but hardly got bothered about who the owner is. you feel true love and that love makes you do things out of the routine . so what if the love is for things 2 wheeled!!
                at times i am boy racer, at times i am a tourer, at times i just spend a whole day washing and polishing my ride/car..... just the day after it was washed at a service station, so that i can clean those hard to reach areas the garage guy didn t bother about and there actually are times when i park my bike out in the sun... place a chair 10 feets away, sit, sip coffee, read, call... all the while looking at my bike doing sweet nothings.
                do you have name for those last 2 types of guys???
                i bet no one has and i bet i am not the only such guy....
                u ll find lot of such eccentric ppl at xbhp and if you can relate to them.. well... you are a true blur rider, call it by whatever name as if you care.
                the fact that dictionary has no term to describe us is the last thing on our mind.
                all i know is i am gifted to have had this life. wouln t be this good if IC engines weren t invented .
                but then on hindsight... maybe riding a horse is big fun too.
                cheers!!!

                    nice write up there little brother..

You dont need it to be in ur genes or someone around you to have that influence on you. It just happens by itself. At a time when people didn't knew what Benelli, Bimotas and Augustas were, in my 18s I was collecting the histories and posting their wallpapers in my room..
                    Lol sorry to drift from topic.. All i wanna say is, things for you, are gonna change soon my brother, Bikes will become more important than girls . Sounds of engines will feel like music. The feeling of being on a bike will feel godlike It is just the beginning my friend....
                    A fact -- It takes more love to share the pillion seat, than to share the bed.

                      Very nice bro! You brought back some real fond memories for me. Thanks!
                      And yes, you are just at the very beginning my friend. Motorcycling is one such hobby/passion that will continue to make you experience nirvana, only for you to find out later that there's still more to go.

                      Enjoy the ride brother!

                      God bless.
