In the summer of 99, a 12 grade adolescent wanted to graduate to the world of biking. His eyes were looking for the perfect lady to accompany him for the journey ahead. There were a few ladies at that time that could stand apart. The Yam (Yamaha RX100) would be of first choice as it was a beauty and would kill just by the stare, but that was too common a girl to hang around with. More like a clone of the best babe around and you never felt that you actually were walking down with only one of its kind. So the hunt continued until some the day a dark, tall and lean girl passed by.
That was it!!!! This will be the girl of my dreams she is the one i will ride along for many years to come. SUZUKI SHOGUN... The BOSS.
Thanks to dad and i had the best bike in business. She took me places from day one. She was more like a good luck charm. Every thing fell in place from the day i brought her home and introduced her to my family and friends. The rest was history.
For the last 10 years, I have had the best of times with my friends with her by my side. From our first trip to Nandi hills with the boys to the water falls near Mysore. From the late night drives around Bangalore to the numerous drags and street races, she was all by my side. Never let me down. The best part, she never asked for a thing in return. Just pat her on the tank and talk to her, she would purr into a musical rhythm which would take me to a state of trance.
She took me all the way from Chennai to Bangalore one fine morning when i could not find a way to get home. She helped us on all our parties to Pondy and would send shivers down passers by on the ECR (East Coast Road, Chennai) cruising at 145 kph. Many a drunken nights would have been scary if not for her by my side, holding my hand and taking me home to the safety of my cozy bed. She Taught me the meaning of the words, NO FEAR.
Been there, seen it and done that, All with her by my side!!!
Will surely miss her all my life.
