Dear petrolheads!!!

Rhoads · 11th May 2012, 09:45

Hey there,
I'm Rhoads from Bangalore.

I am really happy and thankful to the admin for approving my membership. I ride a Ford Figo 1.4 Zxi (Not really a "Petrol"head.. Am I??) and an RE Electra 4Speed.

I feel fortunate to be an Indian for the diversity of landscapes, food and, most of all, people. It's my dream to explore the beauty of this enchanting subcontinent on 2 wheels (If you're planning a motorcycle trip, please let me know.. I mean PLEEEEEEEEEEASE).

Though a very social person, I somehow did not have the affinity for an FB or a twitter account. tBHP is about about the only place I'd wanna be as automobiles are the only breed that fascinate me apart from rock music from the 80s.

Just stopped by to say HEY.

And yeah, real thanks for all those words of wisdom that I really could use.

Happy rockin-n-rollin,
Rhoads

Welcome to the forum Rhoads.

What's the story behind your handle? Does it have something to do with the fact that you like riding and you're a fan of rock music (Randy Rhoads)?

I'm quite the rock-music fan myself.

Let me get you started with some interesting threads:

Oh, and before I forget. Please go through the Announcements before proceeding.

^^ The unusual spelling was the first sign and "80s rock music" was more or less a confirmation

Welcome Rhoads to the forum. Ozzy Osbourne is one of my favourite bands though most of my friends and family insist he cannot sing. Well, at least he has a knack for picking great guitarists!

We need many more biking travelogues here so looking forward to yours with anticipation.

Nice to see another 80s metal fan here. As @noop said, the name and 80s rock part gives the handle away!
