Bikes are 1 thing in my life that stays forever...
The passion toward the bikes started when i was 10 when i used to ride my dads bike(CD 100), only think i knew at that time was holding the handle bar and rolling my right wrist ;) started riding my self by 14.
Then 1 day i was bitten by 2-STROKE bug, it was the Legendary
RX-100 it was easily doing 100kmphr within no time it was my friends bike so couldnt ride for more time or more days.
After some days moved to banglore, was commuting to the college daily by friends Blue CBZ(still didnt have a bike of mine) loved the bike but then the pulsar was released so he sold the bike :( and got P150 :(.. He then started missing the CBZ (what say AJAY)..
Ok let me cut the crap and yes i was missing every part of biking..
untill the day i rode Ajays brothers SHOGUN.. for the first time i was frightned riding the bike and i could hear my heart beat loud.. Was completely in love with the beast..
Then started commuting to office by Ambition(gud bike)..
After 18 months from the day i rode the beast (read SHOGUN) i brought it for myself.. April 4 was the happiest day of my life.
The beast was in good condition but was not taken for long time so wanted to spend some 3k and here is where my 2-stroke life started..
Gave back Ambition to my dad and started commuting to my office.. i was doing 50 kms daily and my beast was giving a mileage of 28 kmpl for the way i was riding...
Then my beast was introduced to Sathya, a very good doctor for 2-wheels.. he tuned it and brought back my beast looks to stock condition.. thanks for the fairing and side sheilds..
Many things happened with me and my beast for last 11 months from now, even broke my collar bone when i was doing a wheelie(yes i know i flipped no need to laugh though), nothing happened to my bike, that took me off to ride my beast for hard 45 days...
The 48th day i did a max speed of 105kmphr and again broke something but it was not my part but of my beasts.. i was reving so hard that the piston :( broke at 80kmphr and bike halted...
My mech was very upset because he had put so much time to get my bike to that state.. took back the bike and it was there for a week in garage.. sleepless nights for me.. :(
Then reconstructed the whole engine, it was first rebore for my bike.. :) then came the hardest time for any biker, the running in period couldnt go past 50kmphr, and the running in was 2.5k, my mech wanted it even longer.. did many nighouts and touring to near by place to complete it, even once i rode the bike for whole night..
My bike now is at its best condition, no hassels, thanks to my mechs and me :D(yes even i take care for it.)
One thing about the SHOGUN its a UNTAMED machine.. and no body can tame it..
