Hello everyone,

My name is Samarth, I'm a 22-year-old resident of Bandra working with a major media company. I've never been quite the bike crazy type of guy. But for some reason over the last three months I've become sort of obssessed with them. So two weeks ago, after appropriate research, I treated myself to a bright red Yamaha Fazer. I went ahead and purchased a new bike against the advice of many who feared I would ruin it. But I'd heard anecdotes of people who took immediately to new bikes, so I took the plunge. I have ridden bicycles when I was smaller and have had some practice on a Kinetic when I was about 14 (Clear open roads, and a pillion to teach).

I'm a little intimidated by my bike (rightly so) and haven't ridden it so far. I had a friend drive it down for me from Excellent Yamaha, Andheri. Tragically, due to my hectic work schedule, I have been unable to find time to learn how to ride it. My friend who helped drive it down for me is free on Mondays, but I'm only free on Saturdays. Many of my colleagues offered to let me learn on their bikes, but since they need them for work, I didn't have the heart to risk damaging them.

So anyhoo, that's the story... of course, if any passionate bikers out there living nearby would like to help me out on my Saturday off, I'd be grateful. Look forward to interacting with everyone out on the forum.

And I forgot to mention, my favourite bike is the Triumph Speed Triple.
