  • A petrolhead

    The story of a petrolhead


    Well the term petrolhead dsnt mean ethanol instead of greycells, what it means is that the person cares more about pistons than grades or appraisal rating , cares more about the tread depth than the receding hairline and will always have a soft corner for wheels more than for girls. Girls may not like this but yeah some guys are Tuned (pun intended) differently.
    These kind of creatures are often seen wrapped arnd electric poles, have more pictures of thr steeds than themselves and in all probability will function better as a human being when doing anything more than 50km/hr


    Only a petrolhead would do something as unimaginable such as checking if a girls towel was smooth enough to be placed on the tank of something as (in her terms) lowly as a Pulsar and would have the guts (stupidity in her terms) to tell her that the towel isnt. Though this might be one the last conversation any petrolhead has with that particular girl but he is more than ready to live with that thru his life rather than a scrubbed tank.
    The color sensor in a petrolheads brain often works in black and white only and the base criteria being how well the other guy drives. A guy maybe rich, successful, has a hot wife (usually these three things happen together) but if he is not a good driver then he dsnt exist at least to the petrolhead.

    A few characteristics of petrolheads
    1. The value of things (Deo, Shave kit, Shower gel etc etc) he uses on himself will be less than half the value of things (creams, rubbing polish, shampoos, chamois) he uses for the bike
    2. Has a better and more regular relation with his mechanic than his boss and often thinks that the mechanic can do more damage to him


    5. A petrolhead would have talked to his steed on at least one point in his life as if it was real person

    7. His ultimate ego crush would be to be defeated by a girl in a road drag but then this wld be his sexual fantasy as well
    8. He probably owns two driving licenses, one is street legal (to be used on commute) and one is not (to be used for the drags)
    9. He would probably nick names his kids as 2stroke and 4stroke
    10. Knows more about the latest moped launched in Siberia than about his neighbor of 20 years
    11. According to him a driving license is far more informative than a resume
    12. Buys a remote controlled car for his 5 year old nephew but ends up playing with it himself for the next 2 days until he has modified and broken the thing

                          The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                            I guess we all are petrol head !!!!

                            Well I am definitely one....

                            I find the curves of my bikes sexier than a girl's curves.

                            I find the paint on my bike after a polish to be much more smoother than a girl with hairless skin!

                            The happiness I get when I see my bike is much more than what I get when I see a babe!
                            The Fast and the Curious kind!!!

                            Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
