On Everything, I Learned Something.

I learned how to ride a motor vehile on my dad's Vijay Super, sometime in 1994, then for next few years I occasionally used my friends Kinetic Honda and my cousin't NvSpl, until I got my own NvSpl in 1997. Learned to ride motorcycle on my own Fiero in 2000.

Got started with cars by learning in Premier Padmani, in ~1995 (via a driving school) and then gained more exp by using dad's Premier Padmani later.

My uncle's friend let me drive his autorikshaw inside our compound. That helped learning handshifts required for Dad's Bajaj SuperFE.

One neighbour let me ride his IND-suzuki to get the feel of a motorcycle for first time. Friend in college offered a "chance" on CBZ. Finally Elder Bro let me ride his HH Passion and I took that on the solo rides around Mumbai quiet a few times. First owned bike for trusty Pulsar 180FTB

Cars: Have very less experience. Maruti 800 for 10 hours at driving school and Chevrolet Cobalt in USA for 20 days/1000 miles

After I started driving car, my wife wanted to go to Hosur to visit her uncle. I had one problem, I am not confident on reverse.   I told her I should go to the destination without reversing anywhere. I was too keen on that. Unfortunately, on that day, hectic traffic on Bangalore - Hosur highway as well SH which leads through TVS factory.   I have to take reverse in 4-5 places with lots of struggle. I sweat like anything and my wife was guiding me to take reverse. That gave me confidence in reversing.
