  • I was in Seventh Standard , when I got permission to take out my Dad's Hero Honda CD100 Deluxe out of Garage. In a day or two I started and once tried to ride it for a while . It was a short ride and was more of a cycle ride. That evening Dad told me about the gears and clutch part. There was no looking back after that.

    Though never had any issue with geared bikes but after three years I had to learn how to ride a scooter .

                    • First rode my dads bajaj M50 at that time I was in 8 std around 14 yrs of age, then when were building our house the contractor had a tvs luna, and as he was friendly with me once asked him permission and drove the luna, then while going home he did not have petrol till he could reach home, after that whenever he used to come home would ask me would you want to drive the luna

                      The first bike which I learnt to drive was my HH super splendor, in 2006 I bought it, and it was my first bike ,, at 22 yrs, till then I could not even drive a bike because I just didnt seem to understand which gear the bike is in and since I had got used to driving hand changed gear bike (scooters, M50) the leg gear was tough for me, many times on my friends bike I used to stop THUD but on my bike I drove very slowly and carefully and learned it,, even now if I get to drive any new bike it gets me some time to get accustomed to that bikes gear changing

                        • Well I was 12 when I rode my Dad's Chetak in my building compound under his worker's supervision. Later I used to drive n practice it daily for a year untill dad sold it.

                          At 18 I got my first bike, Hunk, it was pretty heavy for me (I am a bit thin) but I had a burning passion to drive it so I mastered it in less than two months. Fell down twice once while driving and other while putting in side stand (I know many will laugh) because the stand wasnt open fully, just as I rose up the stand closed and I came down with the bike
                          I feel like Peter Parker when I drive my Hunk in the city but I become Spiderman when I am on my CBR swinging from one lane to the other on expressways.

                              • I first started riding a geared vehicle (a Bajaj scooter 125cc 2 stroke) at the age of 16...learned riding a bike when I was 17...

                                Bought my first bike (HH Passion Plus) when I was about to turn 18...I remember I bought the bike a few days before I got my license but I could handle the bike fairly well even before I got the license.

                                Have been riding for the last 8 years now..
