  • Alien on a bike

    Alright, where to begin... I'm not originally an indian, thought I'm apparently quickly becoming one. I never rode a motorcycle until I started living here (being Ahmedabad).

    Today, I roam around the city on a Honda Shine, which if all goes well will soon be replaced by a Pulsar 220. I have discovered that I like riding motorcycles, at times much to the frustration of the wife, who thinks they are dangerous and cars are to be preferred at all times. I found out about xBhp during one of my sessions of wandering around online and have been lurking for a while now.

    I want to thank you all for providing a great amount of information and a good place to consult about motorcycles and the related topics. Hopefully, I'll also be contributing some bits and pieces, whenever my schedule allows.

    Let me add that I've been here in India since three years.

                  I'm originally from The Netherlands. And I grew up there, till about three years ago I moved here.

                    guess if you were in a cage you would be screaming out 'MANIACS!&#$!' instead of driving in India esp Ahmedabad. would be great to hear frank opinion bout how you feel on Indian roads compared to Netherlands.

                        The thing is I drive both a car and a motorcycle. The one thing that is most apparent is how I always end up asking myself: "Is this guy suicidal or just stupid?", whenever some person decides to cut in front of a car without looking. When I'm in a car I generally try and keep an extra watch for that kind of idiot. While driving my motorcycle, I try and avoid getting in the way of cages, since especially the bigger cars are inhabited by some of the worst and most egoistic drivers on the planet.

                        Comparing the driving experience... don't even start, there is no comparison. Anyone with a Gujarat (or even an Indian) driving license should never be allowed to drive anywhere else. (Mind you that's sarcasm, there's good exceptions ofcourse.) I could easily list a whole number of concepts that apparently never made it into the generic driving sense here.

                        Anyway, I like driving a motorcycle, since if you apply some proper common sense it is actually a better way of getting around in the city. (And yes, I do curse people, both when I'm on a bike and in a car.)
