  • hello all newbie here

    hi everyone,
    this is wilco here,finally decided to join this beautiful forum... as a formal introduction well.. im an aviation enthusiast hold a commercial pilot's license but currently unemployed courtesy the great "slump" we have on our hands..
    for anyone wondering what "WILCO" means--> it is a term used in aviation radio telephony meaning "to agree with"
    ok now that im done with the biodata b.s lets proceed to how biking matters to me in my life..i own a honda dio for past 5 years a gear less scooter which has been my loyal companion or as i fondly call my "first wife", it has faced two complete body kit changes courtesy amateur wheelie tries unsafe riding and haywire traffic etiquettes in my home town.
    at first i thought i dont qualify to be a part of this forum as i dont have a "bike" but reading through virtually all sections of this forum i realised how people respect biking as a lifestyle and gears or no gears everyone stands welcomed
    i respect the safe riding culture inculcated amongst one and all through this forum though sadly i learnt it the hard way during a stupid circuit race on a cbz when i lost my friend at the age of 16 the calamity happened in front of me as he banged into a van.. cause of death - head injury, since then i vowed never to ride without a helmet whatever the speed maybe.
    the love for two wheeled beauties started at 13 when i rode as a pillion on my uncles kawasaki 600r thus giving birth to dream of owning a green devil and experience the unadulterated joy it offers
    on this forum i found gaziliion kawasaki lovers who treat it with equal respect. the excellent review by sunny and aryan of the new baby ninja filled me with a hart warming feeling of belonging somewhere and i got my self registered in no time... and finally mustered the courage to post my intro here..
    earlier i felt i dont do stunts i dont own pulsar or a cbz[my fav indian bike] the only engines i know about is piston engines and jet engines of airplanes so do i belong here?? ... the obvious answer being YES i belong here cos i love to tour on two wheels, love the freedom of a two wheel ride and dream of owning a ninja one day.
    so here's wilco signing out ... on a final note i must thank sunny and the mods including rossiter for the discipline in this forum and for keeping the biking standards high.. keep up fellows thank you for reviving in me the love for bikes and for rejuvenating my love for my honda dio amidst the mad rush of my life i had almost forgotten how much she means to me and how much she has served me..

    cheerio

    wilco

    keep the blue side up!!

    my "wifey" says hi to all the xbhhpians



    The similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots?
    If a pilot fuks it up, the pilot dies.
    If ATC fuks it up, the pilot dies. :D

              Posting junk and deleting your post just to make your thread alive again! huh?
              Not at all welcome for this.
              You are welcomed, now gain audience/attention/respect by your rides, trips, travel, race reports, photos, ideas, etc but not doing this......
              This is no "orkut" kind forum.

                        hi there jd,
                        its amazing how a bike engine helped me understand the working of piston engine better, i was having a little trouble understanding the concept .. so a gentleman from faridabad who specializes in rd350 restoration and is quite popular in ncr rd350 circle Mr. Sunil Narwal [yamaha fanatic] described how rx 100 yamaha 2 stroke engine works... withing no time the 4 stroke piston engine of a cessna seemed like child's play... im sure many on xbhp would know about him
                        which airline are you working with jd??

                          Yup that was District B13.
                          I so want to practice this sport (or whatever people call it) but my knee injuries (ligament rupture) don't allow me to go all out and do it. However I do try something tricks/moves every now and then without hurting my knee much (which is nigh impossible)

                          Enjoy your stay here
