How it all started?

Rider: Mohit Juneja
Age: 22 years
Year: 2006
Location: Somewhere in Noida
Bike: Bajaj Pulsar 150cc
Owner: Sumit Agarwal
Pillion: Refer Owner

I's forced to ride the bike though i hated it as sitting in the back seat has lotsa perks. Didn't had much knowledge about disc brakes which is offered in 150cc bikes.

I's driving lazily @ 50+ kmph, suddenly Sumit shouted to apply brakes as we were approaching some traffic signal while going to Spice mall to have lunch (please read Rasgullas and Rasmalai @ Haldiram's). I applied the disc brakes with full power, the front stopped instantaneously with the rear tyre skidding and coming in the front though in style and not tilting much (as you must have seen in many Ajay Devgan movies :D). Sumit almost had a heart attack, afraid..... he took the handlebar away from me and i's back to my original spot..... THE PILLION!!

END OF STORY
Conclusion: A guy, 22 years old, didn't know how to ride a bike!!!

I got my own bike (my friend Vikas advised me to go for Pulsar, there is a reason of not waiting for FZ-S which has great looks and Yamaha engine which i will tell some other time) thinking of it as just a means to go office and somewhere nearby with not much intention of using or abusing it while my roomies wanted me to go for low power m/c. (I still think that i should have gone for Pulsar 180cc)

My roomie Sharad drove it from showroom to flat and it stood there staring at me for 2 days. Again asked Sharad to tell me the gear logic of 1 down and 4 up as these Bajaj guys changed it from all on one side, it went fine but i didn't do well.

The next evening i rode it alone from my Andheri flat @ around 2300 for a 5 min drive. As it went smoothly i went on and on from there to my brother Rohit's flat @ Borivali. Had some Haldiram Rasgullas there and came back @ around 0230 after getting lost several times though the route is almost straight with just a coupla turns. Asked the way while going there and coming back from the same auto-wallah. (who zestfully and told me the way)

After a week i started going on long drives of 2-4 hrs alone @ night and my another roomie Das (Aniruddha) gave me a cool name (and i kinda liked it and till now i live up to that names' expectations) and i dont know when but i liked riding my bike even though i clocked only 1200 kms in 3 months.

Changed job. Shifted to Gurgaon. The bike was at my friends Kamal and Raman's place in Noida. Got it there in ggn but not using it much.

Shifted to Delhi. Started going to office on bike once in a week (26kms one side with hell lotsa traffic). A few weeks later i again started my night rides and guess what??... this time it's more fun as roads in delhi are helluva better than Mumbai......... twice or thrice in week i started riding for 100+ kms... increased it to 150+ kms and...... BOOM!!!!! I knew i have found something i enjoy...... it's more than enjoyment...... it's my passion!!!

My friend Shazli quoted

2-4 mahine ka shauk hai jaldi hi khatam ho jayega, abhi bike nayi nayi seekhi hai
