    So for me a car is meant for carrying people/vegetable/matresses/shopping stuffs/furniture etc. from point A to point B.

    A Bike is meant for carrying 'enthu' people from point A to point B!
    A better idea wud be to get an Activa/Dio/Pep or an electric bike for the missus!!

    That sure is an AWESOME idea to convince parents who do not know about bikes much. Is that the way ur going to convince ur missus if ur getting a new bike??

    BTW my dad reads the OverDrive magazine as if there were no tomorrow. I get it after he has completed it, so none of that funda u just said works at home!!

    P.S: Who am I to complain when my parents suggested that I sell off my old Pulsar and get the new R15??!!!

        1. Why do u need one ?
        2. Rather buy a car...
        3. You have pulsar back home we won't send it but still you don't need to buy.
        Exactly same case with me

              Dekh bhai,

              If your dad could be convinced by plans that took us 30 seconds to cook up, then he'd already have been convinced.

              The fact that he isn't clearly means that either he is stuck hard, or you have less power in the equation (or money in the bank).

              So live with it, get over it, or follow the progressive guys' fundae and keep gnawing away at his heart. Someday. Maybe

                money in bank is not problem, yeah he is stuck hard. The other reason to start off this thread was to experience how many of us go through same

                        The company has asked u to attend interview in full formals (failing which may cost ur new job offer). Imagine u are standing on chinna-swamy stadium signal and there is a heavy jam, u r on ur FZ-16 in full crisp formals, and suddenly its start showering.
                        There is no place to hide in a range of 1km....

                        .. then u'll remember a 50k costing third hand Maruti-800 ! ...

                        BTW how old are u and are u a student or working?

                            IMHO parents are concerned bout safety and if their kids would end up crashing and breaking their heads. the higher the machines, the more concerned they outta be.
                            present yourself with good riding gears, talk bout road safety, point out all the morons you see on road insane riding and act model social angel, then...
