Well to begin with ... I am not a young man anymore . I am a recently turned 35. But I have been a lover of bikes for as long as I can remember. Started out with a 85 model yezdi of my dad and had a bullet machishmo (95 make) before settling for my current pulsar 180 (bought in 2002 dec). I will be very soon upgrading to something new and since realise it might very well be my last bike (what with my son 2 year old now and with his responsibility on my head increasing over time) I want to have a good decent one and so am waiting and waiting for some good 250 cc failing which I will go for a Pulsar 220 but not before bajaj give it atleast an all black treatment.

I am not new to biking discussions or threads. I was even a member at xbhp before (although never posted anything, not even my intro ) before that hacking incident destroyed my id. I keep listening/reading all the discussions but dont really open up my stupid mouth in front of the members whom i see are so much more knowledgeable now then they were a few years ago.

But i have been truly impressed by how the members here have gone that extra length to maintain and upgrade their bikes and would want to learn from them.

cheers everybody
