Hi!

I learnt riding on my Bajaj Chetak 12V. Tried to perfect Motorcycles by riding Yamaha RX-100 and Kawasaki 4S Champion.

OK.. I started off on a 1986 Kinetic Honda initially.. I learned to ride a geared 2-wheeler on my 2003 Kawasaki Bajaj Caliber 115(Hoodibaba Caliber).

Learning to drive happened on a Driving school's M800 + own M800. Stopped going to Driving school on day 10 .

I learnt how to ride on an extremely embarrassing RMI full size ladies' bicycle. Had to ride it for some years, as my dad won't get me anything better . Back in the day, I felt like robbing one of my friends' of their super cool Hero Ranger ATBs.

The first motorized machine I rode was again a self-propelled equivalent of the RMI bicycle - a LUNA TFR, soon to replaced by a much superior LUNA Super. Trust me I really was a bully's delight.  

Life refused to get better, as my next upgrade was a real rickety, discolored and mercilessly welded Priya 150 scooter.

Real riding started off with friends' borrowed splendors and later with owned Suzuki Fiero

My love for two wheels is older than most members here. Yeah, I am old!  

I always had a cycle. Though the first cycle which I got as 'mine' was branded something like a Sunshine or something. The one with a full long seat. Loved it too the hilt. My grandma gave it me on my 8th Bday.

First motorised two wheeler was a Hero Majestic Pacer. My brother got it when he was in Class IX  (I was in VI) and needed one to go to tuitions (we lived outside the city). Learned on it when I was in VII and would sometimes sneak out to ride it. My brother would get angry for 'wasting' petrol for the sake of just riding it! Though I used to curse him for not getting the Hero Puch! He could not put it on stand plus since it lacked paddles, everyone thought it would not be good if it broke mid way. Later he got a scooter (LML vespa) and I would ride that too.

My first new 'bike' was a Yamaha RXG which is still there at my parent's place.

First bike which I bought myself was a Pulsar 180 DTSi.

That is a list of vehicles I have managed to get my hands on. Not to mention another Dozens of Different Bikes while doing my In-Plant Training for College, at Mane Automobiles, Pune, and Sai Service, Pune. Mane Automobiles was a dream come true, as the Father Serviced, Mostly Yezdis, Zundapps, BSA, RE, and the likes, while the Son took care of the Regular chotu motu bikes, like HH, Bajaj, TVS etc. etc. Sai Service, was also cool, but never got to Test ride any bike out of the Gates, (Us trainees were not trustworthy ) but managed to get my hands dirty within the Compound Gates.
