the only sense of freedom....

Bikes...I've always loved bikes.2-wheelers. Whenever i walk the roads of Bandra, there are possibly only 2 things that can distract me from an argument wit a friends or a long conversation carrying on on the way back to office. Either a hot chick or the roaring sound of a nice naked bike coming our way. both receive a moment of silence as they pass by. The similarities are also quite amusing! their curves get u hooked... their sound sometimes can be attractive... the desire to ride them can be compared.... the desire to own one, because they are very few made like that one. ...the desire to own more than the one i have...cause men are never satisfied. I know guys are gonna kick me but come on....we all know this shit anyway. I personally own a Comet GT250cc made by a Korean company called Hyosung. For the poor ignorant ones, hyosung is quite an old company that burst into stardom when they provided engines to great bike manufacturing companies like Suzuki. Their V-twin engines are quite famous in the bike world. They are full Ducatti wannabes but what the hell at least they aim high unlike our Indian companies that have been talking big and delivering shit to the Indian consumer since forever. for e.g. the enfield. We all know this classic Indian bike which is so out of date that the Indian government should actually declare it a national classic and persuade the company to only supply worldwide to various bike museums. cause thats where it belongs. In a museum and Enfield should be sued for under developing a great bike and being stingy enough to ghasao the same damn design though various generations of bike lovers. Enfield sucks and we all know it. so anybody who thinks otherwise can kiss my hairy ass. Anybody remember how Yamaha released a picture of the Gladiator in the sad indian BIKE magazine and how excited we all got? And what actually got released? A fuckin regular commuter. We were shown visuals of a nice sleek 4stroke 100cc bike with lovely inverted front suspension...exhausts neatly tucked under the rear seat....monoshock rear suspension. And even though it was a commuter as opposed to a performance bike at least we could all go to office in style! But no re baba...indians dont go to office in style...we struggle our way to office...No.1—the roads are designed by xtreme sports fanatics to simulate the feeling of “being alive” everyday as one goes around Bombay....the potholes are custom made to deliver the commuter with the much needed wake up call if he hasn't had adequate sleep!So we struggle our way to office in our regular looking commuter bikes which are sold by our lovely indian companies with the most pathetic sticker...(not even vinyl)....technology, passed off as “new and improved snazzy graphics”!!who the fuck approves these designs anyway? Are these losers fucks even from a design background? Or are the engineers who design the pathetic engines, only doing double shift and saving the company, a design team ka karcha?Just one look at these commuters will put a person at a position to judge what the company is all about. People say that Apple makes revolutionary computer designs...no they dont...they just made a very obvious move towards the future of personal computing. why should we have boxy designs?....curve it out. make it smooth...in corporate some ergonomics...what the fuck? The computers are great...lets improve on the exterior shell?right? Well in that case the Indian bike companies are all doomed cause not only is the soul fucked the body is just an after thought!!so there is no hope and as long as fucked up bikes like the Hero Honda Karisma keep selling....the future is very very dim. I bought my bike for 1.85 lakhs. This is a wannabe ducatti. Hyosung know it.I know it and the world know it. Is is a good bike?Does it deliver? It damn well does. Kinetic Motors delivered this bike to the Indians to study the Indian bike consumer psyche...i feel. they wanted to know if the boys will buy a true performance bike when they see one.....and i don't know the statistics, but whenever i ride me Julie on the roads...the number of questions i have answered...prove that indians love bikes...they wont shell out the kind of money i have for my beauty but they all love bikes. What is it wit bikes? People called us crazy when we went on a road trip to Goa on our bikes. They said.."catch a fucking plane ...its not that expensive”!! all i have to say to them is I've done it twice.....i fell on the way back once..ripped the skin on my palm...have a twisted ankle, clicking for life.....tachometer broken...foot rest broken....headlight bent...handle bar bent,paint scratched and i still say its all human error and I'll still do it again.... figure it out.....
