    Y is da stuff so similar with u & me BunnY..

    Started off with Bajaj Chetak shifted onto LML NV as dat was the second scooter at my home.
    Then one fine day Chetak was sold off to get my CBZ & the love affair started.
    Although its hard to stop rippin the bike but its the best one can do on a CBZ.
    Long drives became an obsession & world kept on shrinking for me.. and is still shrinking as maps are getting finished each year after year.

      My dad, a doctor, saw to it that I did not get my hands on a bike. So it was the bus and occasionally the car for me. Having been brainwashed into believing that bikes are a one way ticket to the morgue, I did not buy one either.

      Until I got stuck in traffic one day at 12 noon next to a truck belching smoke into my car for 45 min ( the Andheri flyover was being built then), and decided to buy a bike. At that time the CBZ had just come in and what made up my mind was a CBZ growling ominously past me (Those were the days when CBZ exhaust were a healthy grumble, not the apologetic farting sound they make now). I had to have it. I learned to ride on that (a friend drove it away from the showroom with me sitting pillion on it).

      A couple of years later I started to take it out of town. It was a heady feeling and I was hooked. Now, in the last three years I've put more than 60000 km on my bikes, something that I did on my car after 7 years. My bikes have been across India, the car has been out of mumbai only twice, that too to lonavla. And every month, now, I sit in the car once a month to open the bonnet to charge the battery.

      No comparison at all!

          always facinated

          well , about me..i was always facinated my 2 wheelers..even cycles used to amaze me ..they always seemed to be different from other vehicles on road...i had interest in cycles then geared cycles in college when i got my first bike..thats when the spark became a fire .
          Since i was into mechanical engg. it favoured my interest in automotives. so for me..i guess it was there all the time..just came out when i had the real thing under me
          Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.
