        • I rode all alone for the first time on a Hero Honda Splendor(Dad's) at the age of 14. Before that, I used manage only the handle bars. Well, I don't remember my first ride on a gearless one!

            • I was 14/15 . Took keys of chacha's tuned Rx 100 and started it after a lot of struggle. Put it in gear, Revved hard and dumped the clutch. BAM!! there went the front in air and i fell BOOM! Listening to the noise dad and chacha came rushing in, they were laughing like crazy .


              Later learned on my own on P180. Man, it look a hell LOT of effort to learn to ride that thing with my 5ft height .

              • 14, but I dont remember the bike, it was my neighbour's bike. Probably Bajaj KB 100 or ,, I really dont recall.
                It was a threatening experience for the neighbours as they felt I was too young for a bike.

                    on the way back home my father got to know about his missing vehicle and its underage rider and was tensed and waiting for me he saw only the bike as i was too short for the bike and he reacted like suprised to see me ride the bike at dat age and that was my first bike riding experience i still remember that fiero damn it was good now drivin a pulsar 180 ug3

                    • When I was 14 took my father's chetak. I gave Initial accelerator rev and sudden release of clutch vehicle front wheel jumped off the ground and engine got off. I became pale, people passing by starred as what is he doing..

                      Again tried started, this time carefully released the clutch with slight rev, though it was not smooth but managed get going. Ah! felt awesome. I will never forget. Lovely days of '91

                      Then that is it.. I regularly took the scooter for a short ride round the street and picked up the driving lessons on a geared vehicle.

                      • I was 12 and started with a KB100 .
                        Now I realise that it was not a good idea and should have restrained myself .

                        • learned to ride when i was around 13 to 14 my father used to own a LML select scooter which was standing in our backyard like scrap one day my father took out for servicing and started it the other morning at around 5:30 took it out and took it for a ride had a few falls and stalls but on 5-7days got it smooth but was afraid on crowdy roads but then i rode the bikes of my cousin elder brothers uncle etc etc and then become a proper rider it took around a full month.


                          P.S: when my father noticed the petrol level and the falls marks and came to know that i took it for rides shouted on me for hours.
