    Motorcycling is in our blood

    Its encoded in our DNA, our love for Motorcycles

    Study says biking is in the blood - Motorcycle news : General news - Visordown

    Originally posted by Excerpts from the article
    ACCORDING to a study by bike insurer Bennetts the desire to ride motorcycles is in your DNA.

    With input from a psychologist, the study has theorised that motorcyclists have a genetic predisposition in the form a of a 'novelty-seeking' (NS) gene, which brings out a tendency for impulsive, exploratory and risk-taking behaviour.
    .
    .
    .
    .
    "Our research tells us that most bikers were introduced to biking through a family member and that all questions related to the ‘NS’ gene personality traits (such as being a risk-taker) and the biker’s emotional attachment to his or her bike resulted in very high scores.

    "This reveals that the majority of biking families will be passing on an ‘NS’ gene, which in turn is also being reinforced by an environment in which bikers are setting an example and sharing their love of biking - it’s certainly ‘in the blood’ from what I can see!”

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

          In my case motorcycling came very first time in my blood in my family , When you are the first, it trouble also alot to convince your each family member, because no body is there to support or understand you and your bike feelings....

              My grandpa was in Army. He maybe rode some horses only, that's it.

              My dad used an Ind-Suzuki 100cc 2 stroke for commuting only, in the 80's. And later on he purchased a Bajaj Scooter...

              I took my first pillion ride on this Ind Suzuki, when I was -6 months old.
              Yeah, Minus 6. I mean, my dad riding and my mom as pillion, when they were expecting me. Got it?


              So, maybe its not in my DNA... But I still love riding bikes like anything. Don't know why. When I got my first bike in 2005, the TVS Centra... it felt free & strong. And that's how my biking life started... And today, 8 years later, the same thing is still alive in me.
