    Very nice article.

    I might add.
    The pleasure is when you are riding on the highway feeling warm in leathers on a winter dawn when it is still dark and the city is million twinkling lights.

      every single statement is a reflection of a million memories and I thank the original and the new author for having penned it so perfectly...

      A lifestyle called biking...complete nirvana...

          The Pleasures of Motorcycling
          awesum dude..
          And here goes my quote-
          Pleasure is when you throttle up to race everyone after the traffic signal ....
          Pleasure is when your bike is been watched by many in traffic signal.
          Pleasure is when people enquire about your bikes mileage
          Pleasure is when u pass by ladies college
          Pleasure is when ur bike met with an accident and hardly no scratches.

            @ L.P - Thanks for sharing this...mesmerizing is all i can say, this shows a lot of emotions we feel and essentially shows us the meaning of being a Biker by choice thing.

            Very touching...

            @ AniMeher - Thanks for Sharing Sachin's original article..

            Beautifully penned...

            My Personal favourate

            You and you best buddies riding along a nice empty road..with almost no traffic and singing " ye dosti...."

            100 bucks of petrol and open road...

              Here's my addition
              "Pleasure is when petrol becomes cheaper than water"

                ---Pleasure of passing through a bunch of vehicles at a crossing just to make sure you'll be the 1st one to cross once the signal turns Green
                ---Pleasure of moving far out of the town as if never wanting to return back here again
                ---Pleasure of not thinking too much on the budget.....just to move a distance
                ---Pleasure of riding through footpath where other left honking for space
                ---Pleasure of standing by a Car and people inside staring at you wondering just how much the rain was outside
                ---Pleasure of not complaining on heavy traffic for being late
                ---Pleasure felt slowing down after touching the best speed so far even if it is just 90-95km/hr
                ---Pleasure of airlifting your front wheels just show off your confidence at the start
                ---Pleasure of riding inversely on a One Way Road

                And Above All (I Guess)

                ---Pleasure when removing your Helmet and shaking you head as you sparge off your sweat, exhibiting your Pride and Glory of Being a Biker

                  Well two of the above 'pleasures' are illegal, you shoun't be pleased to do them

                  ---Pleasure of riding through footpath where other left honking for space
                  ---Pleasure of riding inversely on a One Way Road

                  If someone else did it and you were on the receiving side, I am sure you wouldn't feel the pleasure :P

                      Few Pleasure of Motorcyling I discovered on my lifetime journey to LEH

                      1. Pleasure of Motorcycling is wearing the same T-shirt & Jeans for 3 days while riding thru the Himalayas & assuming its not dirty & still fresh.
                      2. Pleasure of Motorcycling is Coming downhill on a mountain in speed & suddenly riding over a gravel, getting sure about a fall & then you come to a stop safely after struggling to brake.
                      3. Pleasure of Motorcycling is riding through a water puddle & praying that we dont have to slow down & STEP DOWN to make our shoes dirty & wet..
                      4. Pleasure of Motorcyling is almost falling when a tiny stone comes on the way while taking a corner & then we safely straighten out bike & smile back to realise we missed a fall while taking corner at 80kmph.
                      5. Pleasure of Motorycling is ignoring a beautiful chick passing by being proud of being a Biker & keep riding..

                          Amazing stuff!! Really touched my heart and i feel proud to be a motorcyclist or a Biker.

                          One pleasure from my side:
                          The pleasure when you wake up at night and look at your bike with loving eyes and feel proud to be the owner of this bike. I love it

                              pleasure

                              the pleasure is----when you start feeling everything that's mentioned over here, even while reading and take a deep breath as a sigh of releif to make sure that you are a true biker.
                              cheers guys.
                              ride safe.
                              very nice piece of work.

                                .......you leave brand new car at home and take your good old bike and feel like a free bird.....

                                .......while you ride your new bike home, you keep a watch on tacho and speedo and maintain strict speed/rpm

                                .....first ride where you almost 'listen' to the 'crisp' metal removal by the piston rings.....
