How many bikers in here and what do you ride?

maddy42 · 5th February 2008, 17:32

Hey guys. I am into bikes but consider cars comfortable at times. However i have rode quite a bit while in college using my friends ride as i was not allowed a 2 wheeler by my Mom. So ended up being the official chauffer for my friends Pulsar 150.
I started riding when i was 5 years of age sitting on the tank of my dads Yezdi roadking and once i was 8 i was let to operate the accelarator with my dad also holding onto it.
After learning cycling on a hero ranger i moved onto trying out the Hero honda cd100 1991 model which is still at home.
Now i am working here in mumbai so at the moment managing with public transport but i do plan to buy a rx 100 or 135 5 speed in 2 months time. So guys am confused between the two so will be great to get some suggestions.

Hey guys I started my riding with a 1985 Kinetic Honda, then used a TVS XL for some time, then a HERO PUCH, then our uncle's SHOGUN, then my own SHOGUN, then my bro's RE LIGHTNING 500 for some time. The next & my present ride is a Pulsar 180 classic modded. This is my brief Bike history. Lots more to come. Waiting to upgrade to a GOOD 250 cc mean machine.

CHEERS,

Suzuki fiero(not TVS fiero)..still have it and even after 4-5 yrs feel its one of the best. Nothing to beat its initial pickup and handling. It sure does run out of steam at the top whack but still to me its the best bike. Amazing bike and it sure can take a beating. Very few bikes on which u can take a tight corners like a GP bike
