How many bikers in here and what do you ride?

PhrozenFire · 4th July 2008, 13:48

Started off on Dad's old Bajaj Super when I was 14. It used to (& still) pulls amazing wheelies! From 2003-present my ride is a '97 RXZ, fitted with an expansion chamber and bottle silencer and K&N filter, and really nice lookin silver and black 6-spoke alloys that I picked up from Pune on my last visit there

Well started riding on a 1983 Kinetic Honda, then used a TVS 50 XL, then a Hero puch, then went to The Boss(you're right The Shogun), then picked up my own Shogun, then my brother's RE 500 Lightning it gave me so much TROUBLE, that I had to ultimately sell it off. Now I'm using a 2002 model Pulsar 180 classic, running really well. Waiting for a SBK next.

CHEERS,

Started off with old (I guess 1979) Bajaj 150, which belonged to my uncle, me being the permanent user

from around 1992.
Owned Suzuki Samurai in 1999 to date. Was primary mode of transport even after owning a car.
But off late primary transport shifted to car owing to back pain related problems. Trying to get over them, and shift to Avenger.

While this, a piece of advice for fellow bikers. Kick start can be a potential for back pain related things.
Maintain proper posture and try to minimize your speed, which enables jumping into too many pot holes

That will help a long way in preventing back pains.
also, do practice some back stretches.

tirath1970 · 7th July 2008, 22:12

Had an RX100 from 1989 to 1998 great bike!
from 2002 to 2007 p180 another great workhorse
presently the p220 which is quite a ride and am eagerly waiting for the 690 duke , the ultimate street bike for a place like delhi where litre bikes are really quite a handful and not much more than ornaments unless you intend to use them only on sunday morning rides , not like me who uses my bikes for all purpose riding .
