My first proper biking tour was a lone ride which I did recently. Unlike others I had the problem of being a rookie and also I ride an old bike. But still it was the TRUST on my bike which made me go for it. I realized that lone riding gives a sense of relaxation and you don't have to wait nor you have to rush on the way. Its just you and the bike(girl

).

I guess the bonding between rider and bike grows stronger on solo rides. It's similar to the by-gone days of a horse and his rider

. Trust and also a close union of man and machine !

Cheers

I completely agree this!!! Call me crazy, do you guys ever talk to your rides? I do & was feeling stupid to disclose, until, I watched Memphis Raines talking to Eleanor

I'm yet to speak with C250R for some reason, but, a lot with Rx & sometimes (human mind probably) I tend to believe it listens to what I say too

It is scientifically proven that if you put good energy into non living objects, they will reciprocate. I do it. It works.

Open up and speak to your 'C250R' R.G ! Give her a name, after all she's your baby aint she (??) she will respond and love you back, trust me.

!!

Good Luck & God Bless

True absolutely Sarvajit ! I don't know about 'non living' but in my experience our bikes respond, reciprocate and bond with us some times more than the 'rest of the world' !!

Ride Safe

WTH!!!

Serious??? I simply cannot believe!!! I thought it was all my illusions & lust of love with my Rx!!!

Some days I simply feel Rx is not well & if I happen to push that day, it never crosses 90 & some days I feel Rx is spirited & if I happen to push, it does 110. Trust me, its all on the same road, same location, same starting point. I used to think its all an illusion.

Thanks Saar

But I don't somehow believe in naming & haven't named Rx; I simply like to call Rx.

Hey Phani, name me one poet who really makes sense ???. I guess our poetry is on the highway ! The wind on our face, the long stretching road, the growl of our machines and the adrenaline rush !! For me there's no match !!

Ride Safe !!

That's okay R.G, it's just that some times a name gives an identity. We can always call her/him/it whatever suits our heart ! It's just the bonding that counts

Yes its the bonding; I don't know why, I still haven't spoken to C250R yet, I think it has to be a natural rather than forced instinct. I speak to Waggy & hardly remember about Activa. May be I need sometime. Activa is one reliable hard ride & I can hardly remember any instance where I'd to pull her strings as it behaves as expected everytime!!!

Hey Harish ! What can one say ? Maybe some options ??

1. Total nerd with body odor ?
2. Ego clash with GF ?
3. Can't balance the bike with a pillion ?
4. Loves to ride solo, but scared to say so ??

Tick One

I too have similar Questions though.....

But there are a little bit techy,

May be,

Mileage or Pickup issue
Rear Tyre Pressure.
Handling issue.
Pillion comfort not that good.

Hi Harish,
Apologies for the rather late catch up ! But there are so many brave, champion, dare devil solo riders on this forum that we just have to to get more thoughts from them

. Bring it on guys !!

Cheers

Solo riders rock big time...

Well I married my GF after 8 years of immense love and passion. I felt whenever I saw her, she reciprocated my feelings... But I never had the guts to tell my parents... I was in std 9 at that time.... Then I passed 10th, 12th, got a B.E and finally landed a job in a good IT firm in Chennai.
I told my parents about my love and I got married...
Now, who is the love I'm talking about?? Its the Karizma.
We've been married for 10 months now.
My daily commute to and from office is 60 kms... And I love it...
I just had one trip, that too - only till Pondicherry.. (300 kms round trip.)
I loved it... It was solo.. Planning a shorter trip to Mahabalipuram in a couple of days... Again solo...
It gives so much peace from the hectic life...
No hatred for group rides, but solo riding rocks...

Cheers...
