My first bike!

Now that i have shared with you regarding my devotion to Biking, pulling down memories of my first bike, seems essential. No, that doesn’t mean that I’m gonna tell you how I saved it up for my bike and in what ways I pleaded to my parents(that’s gonna be embarrassing though..) & convinced them to allow me to actually have a ride of my own. But yea, it was an immense feeling & that for sure, I’m here to share..

Buying a bike in India, comes to you with a pack of mind boggling issues. We, as modern day bikers, need looks with modernity as well as decency, performance with efficiency as well as competitiveness and a decent mileage, obviously tops the charts for riders these days. Goshh.. we demand so much..! If we get it straight, Indian markets are obligated to offer a wide, yess I mean wide variety of products to fulfill the diverse expectations of customers.

Black Beast, the HUNK

Well, it was fortunately a Hero Honda HUNK for me! I wasn’t sure enough about the bike I wanted, apparently, with limited cash that I was allowed to spend, my options were certainly narrowed down. I wanted a RE Bullet in the first place, coz for a 6″2 inch lad, no other machine could fill the space. I rode & tested an Electra 4S, inspite of tough looks & the thump itself though, things didn’t go the way I wanted. Then the tale went on, from a Karizma to a CBZ Extreme to finally land my search bug on a Hunk.

The Ride and the Rider...

It had everything that I expected from my first ride. Yess, I mean it! In context to looks, performance & mileage, this black beauty surely suited my forte. I drive tested the Hunk while Dad watched me riding my first bike. I guess he felt Proud!  And talk about me, I was on Cloud No.9, afterall I could proudly say that I was a bike owner after all those tough days in the local Delhi buses & auto-rickshaws. I used to feel miserable there I tell you.

Goshh.. Trust me it feels nervous while handling a brand new machine. After paying thousands of cash for, now it was for me to take care of it. Like a responsible & aware biker, I read out every single page from the Owner’s Manual, so as to get a zing, of maintaining my ride in a manner and preserving it all through my life. Yes guys, you read it right, there’s no way that I’m gonna sell away my black beauty ever, for it’s the token of my Love for Biking. It has become a part of my sentiments, can’t just let it go away. I love her!

First click with the HUNK...

That’s the first ever photograph with me on the Hunk. And now, I’ve done numerous roadtrips outside & around Delhi, commuted to college since I got my ride & participated in Castrol Power1 Passion Hunt, gracefully to end up as a City runner-Up. I’m glad the Hunk has been with me. No doubt, it’s been my able companion. And guess what, not even a single mishap till date.. Thank God! This one is special people, for it was my first bike, it’s been besides me in all shades & most importantly, I’ve taken care of my ride with a non-ending commitment.

Standing proud after 25000kms on road!

After having done 25000kms till date that I write this blog, everytime I ride my machine, I feel fresh, full of joy, strength & affection towards the positive trait of life. Trust me, there’s no looking back now! With my Hunk besides me, I’m content! Cheers… I wish myself & the Hunk, longer miles together..
