  • Hi Everyone - Who am I ?

    Hi Everyone,

    I am new to a community like this, so pardon me for an awkward introduction.

    I am just an average person with a mediocre life aspiring to make the most of this one existence I have. I think more than an existence, I have just started to live. I am an ambivert techie-nerd who has been soul searching last 1-2 odd years. I enjoy travelling and I feel that I get relaxed when I go out for a drive. I am new to 2 wheelers or rather shall i say getting back on after 10 years.

    I used to ride during my early twenties, and after a reckless close call , I made two very important decisions. One- I will not drink and drive (ever again) and , Two- I will avoid bikes. With those two decisions , I moved on ahead the last 10 years safely, but always looking out the window or getting distracted whenever I hear a bike revving near by. Those few years, the fear of that close call I had previously, made me lock up few of my feelings for bikes, occasionally surfacing when I heard another bike passing by.

    Anyways to cut it short, after much deliberation and delay of over 10 odd years, I finally decided that I want to get myself a bike and hopefully go on many adventures with her. She will come soon and I am awaiting the completion of the registration formalities. I will let you guys know when she arrives.

    Yours truly,

    Hello and welcome to the family. We are glad to have you onboard.

    More than that, we are happy for your decisions. One of the former ones, not drinking and driving and the next, taking up motorcycles again. It is understandable what happened to you. Motorcycling is inherently risky and we should do our best to try to minimize and not accentuate that risk. Proper riding gear, helmet, riding within your limits and of course, not riding/driving under influence. And even then, crashes and close calls tend to scare you. But it is controlling that fear that goes a long way in making you better. Controlling in the sense that you do not let it grow enough to deter you and not diminish it enough to make you reckless. That's something The Dark Knight Rises teaches you very well.

    Anyway, an honest and great intro from your end. And again, welcome to the family.

      Hi, welcome to xBhp!
      It's a hard truth but fear keeps you alive. I myself met with a crash after 7000 kms in the odo - my right hand still carries two plates and 8 screws. But, that one crash has made me realize the value of my life. And has helped me to be a better judge and decision taker!
      Wishing you lots of happy miles on your two wheels!
      A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
