  • An emotional break up.

    Date fixed, Divorce Papers ready, Alimony negotiated, A new marriage is waiting, excitement to start all over again - Suddenly, just before signing the papers, you realized, you arnt ready to let go off yet. She has been a part of a very significant you.
    Ya, you must have realized, who is the "she" I am talking about.
    Today, as I was about to sell off my 8 years old TVS Star City, I suddenly felt a very deep, unexpressable emotion for the bike. I could never have thought of myself, being so emotional(not even when I was dumped ). I just couldnot give the buyer the bike. I requested him, to leave it with me for one more day. I cant believe what has happened to me. In the past 10 days, I was desperate to sell it for a New Jupiter. The buyer respected my emotions and let it with me. I bought it home, Washed it thoroughly, applied WAX for one last time. AND now, I dont want to let it go. But I know, as the emotion settles, things will be back to normal, and again I would look to sell it. Again the process might repeat.
    This was my first bike(Dad's gift ofcourse) in 2006. Never ever has betrayed me and still delivers 60kmpl in city. Sole reason for selling is, it wont be used or taken proper care of, after the Scooter comes.
    Hope Everyone has atleast once gone through this phase, when you have realized the true love for your bike during the separation.

      when bike is with us take good care for it, enjoy the ride

      But never ever have emotional attachment with Non-Living thing.

      We can have sense of belonging and care but no emotional attachment.

        Re: An emotional break up.

        Come on man, I did not even feel that much of emotional rush when I parted with my wife (A real human one, not a car or bike) but when it comes to the vehicles I own, I can never think of selling them. I can not make myself to sell my bicycles because I had too many near death experience with it and came out alive, so I kind of felt like it was a part of me. Also, I had the exact same bicycle since I was in 4th grade, so I grew up with with it and it would be weird to live without it.

        BTW As said in the film Heat, don't get attached to things you can't walk out of in 30 seconds, if you feel the heat around the corner. I strictly follow that rule when it comes to people but I get attached to objects too much, kinda like Pygmalion.
        I am back!

          Re: An emotional break up.

          Well, I consider my bikes as a living thing maybe because I am too much attached to bikes from my childhood. I give them names and even talk to them( Kinda of craze some might feel). Many times during heavy rainfall. I just tell her please be with me and don't let me stranded in the middle of the road. I got very emotional when I sold my Bikes. Sometimes it is necessary to move on for the betterment of both of us. Well that's me. Surely you have brought back some memories @ sambit.

          Cheers

            I believe that even non living things have soul, and you have to treat them with respect. Like every other blue blooded biker, I also talk to my bike..sometimes you scold him for being naughty, and other times you give him a pat...so there is no wonder if you feel emotional when you are about to part ways...it's natural

                My 220 is my first wife. I am proud to say that. I used to tell me girl that you are only second to me. That's the kind of emotional bond I have. Not sure if I ll have an emotional bond with another bike if I end up buying a new one. But my Pulsar has a special place in my heart and It will R.I.P only with me.

                  Then you really have a lion Heart . But the feeling varies with individuals. It was my first love, and 8 years is not a small time. I had taken utmost care of the machine and it has reciprocated.

                    Understand your concerns here. Even i have the same feeling as you do. I cant think of parting with my bike even if someone offers 10 times the money for it.
