Motorbike riders or bikers are of all crazy types - probably
you may identify the type of biker you are or came close to here –
- Snobby Bob: They are territorial pissy, snobby folks and
ride with other snobs, do mini mini rides… to the panwadi shop or nearest
coffee shop so they can rest their butt at the earliest. They are more into all
show and no gas ).
Living to post and boast on Facebook and instagram.. and you
can add Tok Tok or any new apps. Either they are too boastful – will not let
you speak or are a bag of question marks. If they don’t get attention, they
will ask “Mate, the bike screw has lost its shine.. Do you think so … or some
other stupid question? You can find them on more expensive bikes.. Harleys are usually
preferred by this lot so its easily identified and is well known by all rich or
poor.
- Stunt master: Enthusiastic and loves
trying all sorts of stunts on the bike.. simple wheelies to weird acts that
could win them a direct entry into a circus. You may find them on lighter bikes
.. 200cc or light ones like KTM’s.
- Oily moo: This hardcore mechanic type who
loves getting his hands dirty and is crazy about solving bike problems and
finds the soul fully satisfying hearing the engine sound. Reminds me of a Shot
gun Murugan down south in India who could tune bikes awesome but he did not
know to ride one.. Crazy world !
- Daily commuter: No comments here… its
about a rider just commuting to his workplace..not much leisure in city bike
riding..but yeah it beats traffic jams and is economical. Some of them are
really cheerful and enjoy riding – Salute to them! Any bike ..No cry .. Joy
everytime J
- Macho man ... no rides, flexing his muscle and thinks owning a bike is
macho to go with his image. He must be wishing the motorbike was a gym
- True biker.. care 2 hoots to the wind and raring to go on long rides -
Bike companies worship these guys and they are much sought after for all
opinions on bikes and accessories - eat breathe drink motorbikes.
- MOD- mad rider ... more than riding this guy spends 90% of the time
trying out modifications or his bike that’s launched in the market. His enthu knows
no bounds mix and match is the name of the game. Any bike … hmm..how will the Harley
body fit on a KTM 200cc engine…ok, lets swap the mirrors and on and on..
And ladies and gentlemen… The award goes to this one –
- The Online (whatsapp) biker .. No rides.. but all advice and questions
for everyone. The confused soul thinks he is on on Kaun Banega Crore fati ( Who
wants to be a Millionaire )? Amazing is how they are blessed with time my
friends …
So… get on the motorbike and move bro. Action is on the move....
As
Hellen Keller said - “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
Ride safe!
Cheers
