my bike.. finallyyy..
yoohoo! after waiting thru a whole damned month, I got my bike..
an Avenger.. blue one..
it bloody took a whole damned month for me to get it! booked it on 1st March and recieved it on 31st.. and I had no other options coz these guys (Khivraj Bajaj) are the bloody only authorized dealers in Bangalore for Avenger! that was the worst part.. but after getting the bike, I just love it :)
first realization about the bike, well, it is really as heavy as it looks :D a massive 285 Kgs! whoops! too heavy.. for me that is ;)..
next realization, it's gear system is real weird! 1N2345 in order.. i.e. for first gear, you push forward and for others, you push backwards.. takes a while to get adjusted, coz the other bikes have all gears in one direction.. i.e. N12345 or 54321N..
and the next one, I'm gonna learn riding on this bike!
the final realization, which happens to be a resultant of the previous ones, is that (at least) for a while, I may really be feelin like God1 while ridin it ;) .. until I get comfortable with the bike :D..
and as long as I continue feelin like God while ridin it, my mom wont certify me okay to ride it out.. :( (in fact, I rode it out on a road with scanty traffic, but had to stop arguin wit my mom after that :D )
1 well, er.. it's somethin like this.. for God, it's his road, n other ppl (usually) make way for him to ride.. generally ppl don't wanna mess up with him, now that they're given so many options between messin up and not messin up with him ;)
in that sense, one can also attribute the word Road King to my bike while I'm ridin it (at least till I begin to control it, instead of the other way around, which's the case now) ;) I ride at my best when I have the whole road for myself :D
