I rode my first geared two wheeler at the age of 12, my dad's scooter 'bajaj super FE'...

I think I was 13-14.. Took out the Bajaj Chetak of my dad.. That day even 40kmph seemed utterly SCARY.. I was surprised when he let me take it out for a spin all alone on my very first request.. I think he was convinced by my such keenness in two wheelers.. I was very keen in two wheelers from a very tender age; as long as I remember, my father saw the keenness right from the time I used to travel with him on the footboard of our Chetak..

Then came the Yamaha.. It was the Gladiator; entered our life on October 2006.. I was skeptical about Yamaha designs after seeing the weird Libreo.. But the day I saw it(actually it was quite a dark evening) I was convinced.. My dad is also kind of a two wheel lover.. He, I think, purchased the Gladiator after being impressed with the RX.. Even if it can't match the pleasure of a two stroke, it is close.. Plus stability and handling is better then the ancestral RX chassis.. I learnt true riding on this bike and many memories are associated with it, including two crashes; but none my bike's fault.. It, in fact, has saved me in many panic situations and has forgiven many mistakes in my early days of riding and learning.. Had it been any other bike, the outcome would have been bad...

Any ways the Gladiator is our companion even now.. But it never fails to impress.. I wish for more power, I wish it had the styling of its successors but when I see the pleasure it still gives, I am smiling.. The Blue on it is still classy n shiny... It's rare to spot a Blue Gladiator here.. But that's what makes it unique..

I never had my own bike.. But the bond with the Gladiator is true; like the bond with family... Maybe someday my dad will have the money to buy me my own bike or maybe I have to earn for it.. But sure it will be like the Gladiator; a Yamaha...

I was 15 when I rode my freinds Hero Honda Street. And fell in love with geared 2-wheelers after riding my dad's Hero Panther for almost 2 yrs.

I'm eighteen now,and I'm still trying to learn.I have logged about a dozen kilometers on geared bikes.The first one being my friends Suzuki Samurai.The only problem for me is the initial acceleration i.e,the first gear.So,hopefully I'll perfect it in a few months

[Janesh.J]

My first geared ride was my KB-100 at 18 years.

[accelerator]

yamaha rx 135 when I was 17(mechanic`s bike) & then my black rx 100.

[danny king]

My first was an old battered Bajaj Chetak. I was 14.
I actually learnt to ride a bike when I was college, on my best friend's 2001 Pulsar 150. It was piece of cake.
