Those were the carefree days for you. After the accident came the responsibility. Now, you always fear about the consequences. It is good in a way though - you are more matured now. As they say, time heals all. Keep riding!

It was almost the same case with me. But now, finally I enjoy my bike, but within limits.

My tacho glued to 5000 when thr are 10 sec left..
thn i let go the clutch pull a wheelie off the line and i win the traffic light GP.

thr are times when they pull close to me show me a hand to race with them, sometimes i show them my speedo drop a gear and then i show them what "revving the hell outta bike" means...

but thr are times i let the kid win cuz this seems all a very kiddish stuff to me...

We all get bored with the same things in life..
but when i get bored with the traffic light GP,i got to twisties put my leg down at every curve and talk to my bike,that yes!!! you can pull it babe!!!,c'mon you should have showed more power at 7500 then you're showin to me right now!!!!

and when i get bored from this too,i go to the open road park my bike in front and think that life is not about biking sometimes.....

It's not about fiddling with the carb,it's not about getting new broad soft compound tyre,it's not about shifting each gear at the red line,it's not about scrapin the pegs,it's not about getting ur hands dirty while cleaning out the air filter,it's not about checkin the plugs colour.....

it's about several other things too,tht happens when we are 21 or 23 or more than that....

when we have to put our biking passion in side for many other practical things in life.....

i cannot go and spend 10000 bucks on the new end can because i'll be needing those bucks for some other work too....

thr are many amongst us who cannot go and buy a superbike worth 8lakhs,inspite of having the bucks cuz they have to buy the first car of the family too....

I really begged my father to buy me 2007 R6 when it came out...but he bought me Ford Fiesta 1.4 ZXI sayin-"it makes more sense"...

2 years down the line now,i believe it does......

but things are changed now....
now it's my pocket that i've to fill,

but still if i'm 100% tensed of something,my bike shaves off 80% for me when i go out with her....

if it's not with bike then listening to ur fav tracks you can try out a car with ur love by ur side on a long ride gives you many more things other than biking in real world....

but at the end of the day,i feel blessed for having many things in life to choose from to get that smile on my face when i get bored.

friends romans countrymen
tell me one thing.
i currently own a reynold jetter ball point pen.
when it was new i loved to write all kinda things i enjoyed. all kinda things i always thought i d write when i own a jetter. poems, editorials, jokes, short stories, novelletes and novels. i wrote on all kinds of surfaces.
notebooks, drawing sheets, handmade paper, executive bonds, even clothes.
heck! now i feel bored doing same thing again and again.
lately the market has been flooded with newer droolworthy pens.
i am thinking of getting myself a new sheffield fountain pen or maybe cello u-nic so that i can enjoy my hobby of writing once again like i used to when this jetter was new.
what is ur advise please?

**harikeshpk** · 12-21-2009, 09:05 PM

remember the nike AD.... just do it , may be the Adidas one is still better .. impossible is nothing.. catch 22 is ... pick up the pen and start writing. as long as you finish the story the pen matters little... you can use a Cross or a plastic Reynolds. both are good pens.

lets us ride. for me as a 47 years young dude as i may say... i have to ride so that i am in touch with riding. i have to buy a bike a good one by march 2010. i am yet to decide between a ninja and a karizma cause i have to balance too many things as a family man. love is for ninja..... will know where i land up by march 2010.

all the best ent... just do it

**scarecrow** · 12-24-2009, 01:19 PM

@all we keep saying that things change, but though i too agree to it to some extent, i believe such feelings just become dormant and dont go away. Its up to us to raise it once in a while e.g. today i took out my ipod, put some good music and had an awesome ride to office. i keep doing this office bus bunking stuff once in a while and it totally refreshes me...

. So all you bikers out there, keep smiling and enjoy life, just ride safely

**Jomax** · 01-23-2010, 03:57 AM

Hey guys i dont know whats going aroound here .... but its been few days since ive uploaded two threads regarding an imported CBR in Bangalore and I have absolutely no clue why it has not been approved yet , if it werent deserving enough ??? :O - atleast I believe I have the right to know ....

**cursedcrusader** · 08-12-2010, 06:25 PM

^^this is not the correct thread .PM any mod and you would get your answer

Well Written EL

I do feel How miraculosuly I have changed my riding in this One year after departing from my college life.

The Three digit speed which were my common speedo tickets those days but now arent fantasisng me any more .I thought I need a bigger CC bike to do the job...but I forgot the bike which gave me all the fun I asked everytime from it in those college blue races.

Its true that We change..not in passion but in the ability.

I do am in the eaRly MidLife Crisis and this thread always boosts my morale to get to my real Conscious.

Some bonds never break. I love my bike

whiteunicorn you are still young just out of college , and shouldn't even be thinking of mid life. I started riding at 15 and I am now 58. Nothing gives me the joy and happiness of riding my old horse. It can still do 80 to 90 Kms/Hr.Since spares are getting impossible to acquire I have started looking for a P 180 . You never get old if you have your favorite Bike. Keep riding sensibly and you will start to become younger. With Age we mellow and learn to appreciate the good things in life.As we age we drive fast but in a responsible manner without being a danger to us and the others on the road.
I am driving cars for the past 20 or so years, but become younger every time I am on my Bike. I do drive fast , but within my bike's and my reflex limits...I ALWAYS WEAR THE HELMET.
Ride safe and live the experience longer.

I feel the mid life crisis is a experience we all face once we do cross the age mark of 30, till that time we are like rippers and want to try every new bike in the market, its been 10 years since i am riding my age old splendor, though i owe 2 scooter, a car and my dads 3 decade old bajaj scooter, i also felt like buying the latest technology equipped bike and blow of everyone but somewhere i think that my current splendor can easily do speeds of 70-80 km/h but for me its not a comfortable speed, its not the question of engine or bhp but its my comfort range, you all people may laugh that i use my friends CBZ at times and dont rip her beyond 50 at times even on highway forget city then, may be once in a blue rip her, its not that i am scared but had seen so much and ridden so much that i feel one should be be always take the speed that the mind and body is comfortable, regardless of the cc and bhp.

**abhis3k** · 08-17-2010, 11:45 PM

I am 40kms away from Kolkata. In a town named Hooghly. People here ride mostly insane with no gear at all. My friends make fun of me for riding slow (45-50kmph max) that too with gear on(Helmet, gloves, shoes).

Though I am a very young rider, and started riding just recently, I too feel 45-50 is my most comfortable limit. Thats why I ride in those limits.

Btw I am 23 only.

**aryan rajvanshi** · 08-18-2010, 10:39 AM

Please use a precaution word in the title......i am just 18 yrs old.My god! after reading that i have to ride my bike at least for 50 kms and immediately take it for a service or washing.

**ironman** · 08-20-2010, 01:08 PM

Phew! Very well written guys. Does teach you a lot about yourself. But i'd say a closed mind always rolls towards monotony. At some point of time we do get bored thinking if we should always listen to someone else and not let ourselves explore this journey called life.
It does feel bad when you're in a position where somebody elder(not necessarily) to you has to decide about your choices in life and that's like you were wishing all your dreams turned into a reality but most of the times its like they put a bullet through your vase full of wishes. Curiosity, and patience especially should do the job of a positive perspective. We always hurry things at this point of life 'mid life' as you said. But there is a lot more in life than just looking back and wondering if monotony in itself is a monotony. But like Sunny bhai said - get a fresh look for your bike and some and gear and hit the gas. I'm sure there are lots of people out there waiting to explore, in the years to come.
In my case, though i don't own a bike, and some of my friends are bored of owning theirs, i always pull them out of their houses, with a camera in hand and off we are to explore the untold places. But that passion of owning a bike is never ending in me though. After all some people have laid down 'THEIR monotonous lives' to making our lives more exciting and interesting.
