  • Ashwin: In it because I love it

    Hi, all this is Ashwin, 21, from Hyderabad. I've spent 18 years of my life, from birth until age of 18, in New Jersey/New York in the United States. I came to India for some personal reasons and stayed back to finish my degree.

    I come from a long line of passionate bikers. My grandfather owned two Rajdoot 175s, an RD350 LT, and a Matchless. My father had a Yezdi Model B and a Yezdi 350cc; my uncle inherited the Model B and (much) later bought himself a CBR 954. My youngest uncle is a top-level executive with Hero Honda who now drives fancy cars but owned a Lambretta in his day.

    Having spent two years in the States where I was eligible to drive, I owned a Ninja 650R and enjoyed it thoroughly. My father had a Ducati 996 for about 8 months before he gave up riding due to back pains. So as you can see biking is in my blood.

    Now I have completed my course and wish to become an automotive journalist. I plan to sell my Apache 150 in favour of a Bullet 350 Machismo. By the age of 25 I want to be settled in the States or New Zealand and have a Yamaha FZ1 and a Suzuki M1800R.

    Biking is a passion of mine, something which gives me an ethereal connection with God, the earth, the tarmac, and nature. In a car, you are driving through the elements yet on a bike, you are one with the road and the weather. Surely, biking is the most spiritual of hobbies and a sure path to nirvana. I am also a big advocate and follower of full riding gear at all times. Though I have been on xBHP for a year, it is now only that I have used it to its maximum potential. I hope to learn much from everyone here, and try my best to help those who need it.

    Cheers, and ride safe.
    "One love, one heart. Let's get together and feel all right."

    The love affair goes on. 18-DEC-2006.

                Thank you all for the amazing welcome.

                Yes, MGBiker, I will be coming for the next one hopefully, if I have my Enfield ready by then.
