Ok. I have been going nuts over the Pulsar 200 I have been enjoying driving since the last couple of days. And I even have plans to get a performance oriented bike for myself.
But then Brian gave me the link to this video (I remember seeing this episode long time back on BBC). Jeremy Clarkson is quite frank on middle aged men’s desire to ride superbikes. Now, I am not yet there but I am pretty much on my way there.
I almost ended up having a pretty bad accident early morning today. No, I was not driving at high speed. No, I was not driving rash. No, I was not even trying to do a wheelie (though I want to). I was just driving at regular speeds on a pretty average road when I applied breaks… perhaps a bit too hard. And I guess the front wheel jammed. The bike lost its balance and we were practically dancing on the bike which was too eager to fall down taking us with it.
Luckily, we managed to get the bike in control without falling off. Maybe it was my taller body structure or the low center of gravity of the bike… We all ended up safe and sound.
Good thing we had no accident. Otherwise, mom would have totally banned me from riding a two wheeler ever in my life. But then few other people read this blog as well and I expect to hear some yelling.
One thing is clear. I do not plan to change my plans. Why so? Because I test rode Rahul’s Thunderbird just around 30 minutes after the above incident. And by god… that was an AWESOME experience. Maybe, I need to check out the 500 cc model from Enfield. That would be fun I guess. ;)
As that guy says in the Bajaj Avenger advertisement while driving the bike.
I feel like god.
I don’t. I just get a little bit closer to him when I am driving one.
Can you plz stay away from them? Plz sushubh...
