Hi.

First and foremost, I sincerely thank Almighty to bless me with a forum and platform like XBHP where my motorbiking spirit has been amplified with leaps and bounds.

My name is Parvez Ghadialy, 29 years. I weigh 55 kgs and I am 5 feet 8 inches tall.

I own a midnight black Pulsar 220F DTSi 2014 model in stock condition which I bought in April, 2014. The bike reacts well to my height and weight.. I have covered almost 22000 kms so far in a period of 19 months.

I proudly own a complete gear(within my budget ) which includes Kranos Helmet, Full length Leather Gloves, Full length PGS racing shoes, SPIDA Helios Riding Jacket, Spine Guard, Elbow guard, Shoulder Guard and Knee Guard by FOX.

I treat my beauty and beast with SHELL V-POWER petrol, Motul 300V Oil with drain interval of no more than 4000 kms and a service period of no more than 3500 kms. I lube the chain at no more than 1000 kms or when it goes dry. I make it a point that aggressive revving should only be done while touring and not in city traffic(Unless my honking has no effect on surrounding crowd. The wrrmmmm sound at 9000 rpm has more effect in getting attention than honking these days)

I started to tour the moment I was done with the vendor recommended running-in period of the bike.

I also hold a FMSCI Drag Race/Racing license for the year 2015 and I have participated in the Valley Run Drag Race held at Amby Valley in Jan,2105. I wish I could participate in other open class races, but distance to other venues was a big issue.

I look forward to go to BIC, noida with fellow XBHPians for Open Track Day.

I look forward to go to INDIA BIKE WEEK, GOA with fellow XBHPians as well.

I look forward to participate in the national championships in Chennai when my bank balance can make me survive without a job.

I like to undertake endurance drives to distant places.

My motorbiking mentors are Keith Code and Andy Ibbott(from their biking books of-course). Any other support was aqcuired from XBHP forums and I mean it.

I am very excited by knowing and understanding motorcycling principles, strategies and science. Most of the time, I try to bring up a biking issue as a discussion topic when I am with my friends at work rather than involve in political and current affairs. I day-by-day improve my riding style governed by the science of motorbiking. Atleast 10 minutes a day is spent on research on new motorbiking tips or revising already known motorbiking tips.

So far, I have done the following rides:
1) Numerous Pune-Mahabaleshwar, Pune-Lavasa, Pune-Amby Valley, Pune-Mumbai, Pune-Nashik, Pune-Satara Rides,Pune-Konkan Beaches(Alibaug, Hari Hareshwar, Malwan, Devgad), Pune-Matheraan.
2) Pune-Goa twice
3) Pune-Bhopal. (http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/3...nce-drive.html)
4) Pune-Malshej Ghat
5) Pune-Ratnagiri
6) Pune-Kolhapur
7) Pune- RannOfKutch
8) Pune-Hyderabad

I look forward for Pune-Hyderabad, Pune- Banglore, Pune-Nagpur, Pune-Agra, Pune-BIC circuit and the daddy of all rides Pune-Leh.
People interested or going can inform me so that we can work out whether we can go as group.

I am doing Rann of Kutch in Dec 2015. Anyone interested can join. More the merrier.

My other hobbies include Philately(stamp collection) and Numismatics(Coin Collection). I also like to solve RUBIX cube when I have nothing to do. I read Tinkle digest a lot. I like to watch TV shows like Big Bang Theory, The Flash, and Supergirl. If I have nothing to watch, I watch the saved MOTOGP races. It has been 6 months that I regularly play MOTOGP 2008 video game on my PC(Arm chair racer).

I am a big fan of MOTOGP as a sport.

I previously owned a TVS scooty ES which accompanied me for a good 6 years. I severley miss its Dikki(under seat storage) and luggage carrying capacity.

I look forward for fellow XBHPians to accept me as a friend and family.

Thanks and Regards.
