MY FIRST BIKE ( JOURNEY BEFORE RIDE )
EARLY LIFE
IT ALL BEGAN IN 2008, I WAS IN 8TH GRADE WHEN YAMAHA YZF R15 WAS LAUNCHED IN INDIA. I STILL REMEMBER THE NEWS ON TV. IT WAS IN RED COLOUR WITH DUAL HEAD LAMPS. I WAS STUNNED BY THAT NEWS. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I SAW THAT BIKE. I WITHOUT EVEN THINKING FOR A SECOND I ASKED MY FATHER TO BUY ME THIS BIKE. WHILE I WAS ASKING HIM TO BUY ME THIS BIKE I HAD NEVER RIDDEN A BIKE AND EVEN DINT KNOW HOW TO RIDE IT, BUT THE LOOKS OF BIKE HAD SUCH A IMPACT ON ME THAT I WANTED IT BADLY.
AND OF COURSE HE HAD TO SAY NO. ACTUALLY HE WAS CORRECT ON HIS SIDE, I WAS UNDER AGE FOR A PROPER DRIVING LICENSE, MY HEIGHT WAS ALSO SMALL, IN FACT I WAS NOT CAPABLE FOR A BIKE AT THAT TIME. BUT I NEVER STOPPED REQUESTING HIM TO BUY ME ONE.
AFTER GETTING FED UP OF ME HE SAID HE WILL BUY ME R15 AFTER MY 10TH GRADE. HE TOLD ME TO FIRST IMPROVE MY GRADES WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BIKE FOLLOWED BY MY HEIGHT WHICH WAS REALLY SMALL FOR THE BIKE.
IN APRIL 2010, ON MY BIRTHDAY I HAD A CALL FROM MY FATHER CALLING ME AT THE HONDA SHOWROOM. I WAS SUPER EXCITED, I WENT THERE, TO SURPRISE ME THEY HAD BROUGHT ME A HONDA AVIATOR. I WAS SUPER HAPPY BY THE GIFT. I FORGOT ABOUT R15.
IT WAS MY FIRST MOPED. I WAS TRULY IN LOVE WITH IT. R15 WAS JUST LIKE LOST OUT OF MY MIND. BUT AGAIN IN I THINK IN THE END OF 2011 YAMAHA GUYS CAME UP WITH THIS BRILLIANT CONCEPT OF R15 V2.0. AND THE MEDIA GUYS HAD TO AGAIN PUT IT IN MY HEAD. BUT THIS TIME I WAS LIKE I DONT KNOW ANYTHING I WANT THE BIKE. MY DAD SAID HE WOULD BUY ME THE BIKE AS I GET MY PROPER DRIVING LICENSE, I HAD IT FOR MOPED, BUT FOR WITH GEAR I HAD TO BE 18. I WAS LIKE OKK I'LL WAIT. UP TO THEN I HAD LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES WITH MY AVAITOR.

ON MY 18TH BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND GAVE A VISIT TO ME ON HIS R15. I TOLD MY PARENTS THAT THIS IS THE BIKE I WANT. NOW I AM 18 NOW YOU HAVE TO GET ME.
A FEW DAYS AFTER ALL THIS THEY SAID THAT WE SHOULD BUY ANOTHER MOPED FOR OUT CONVENIENCE. I WAS LIKE, AND WHAT ABOUT R15. THEY SAID WE DONT NEED ANYTHING LIKE THIS RIGHT NOW WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT LATER. I WAS LIKE OKKK.
THEN WE BROUGHT VESPA VX. IT WAS FUN TO DRIVE MOPED. R15 WAS THERE IN MIND BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONVINCE MY PARENTS. I WAS USING IT REGULARLY.
MASTER STROKE
ONE FINE DAY OUR GURU MAA HAD CAME AT OUR PLACE. I PLAYED MY MASTER STROKE THEN. I TOLD THEM THAT MY DADY IS NOT GETTING ME BIKE YOU PLEASE TELL HIM TO GET ME ONE. MY PARENTS TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF BIKE WITH A LOT HIGHER REAR SEAT. IT WAS NOT PRACTICAL AT ALL. BUT GURU MAA SAID GET HIM ONE HE WILL TAKE PROPER CARE OF IT AND MY PARENTS COULD'T SAY ANYTHING. NOW THEY HAD TO BUY ME YAMAHA R15 V 2.0
I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DID ALL THE RESEARCH FINALIZED THE COLOUR AND THE DATE OF PURCHASE.
THE DAY
IT WAS 3RD OCT 2014 THE DAY WAS DUSSEHRA. THE DEALERSHIP WAS 55 KM FROM MY PLACE I WENT WITH MY DADY BY 7:30 TRAIN REACHED THERE BY 9:00 AM. I HAD NOT DONE ANY KIND OF BOOKING SO MY BIKE WAS NOT READY. I WAS FIRST CUSTOMER THERE SO THE MANAGER TOOK ME THEIR STORAGE YARD AND TOLD ME TO CHOOSE WHICHEVER I WANT. I SAT ON ONE BIKE KEPT IN CENTER. AS SOON I TOUCHED THE HANDLE I FELT " BOSS I CAN LIVE WITH THIS BIKE " THEY REMOVED THE BIKE AND THEN TOOK IT FOR DELIVERY CHECKUP AND CLEANING.
FIRST PICTURE BEFORE EVEN CLEANING
MY DADY IS STILL THINKING WHY IS HE BUYING THIS BIKE
WE DID A SMALL POOJA AND THEN I TOOK IT FOR A SPIN. FUN FACT WAS THAT I HAD NEVER RIDDEN YAMAHA R15 BEFORE. IT WAS LIKE I JUST WANTED IT BADLY. AFTER THAT WE TRAVELED TO OUR PLACE. I WAS ENJOYING THE RIDE. BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. EXTREMELY HAPPY. ON REACHING MY PLACE WE DID A PROPER POOJA
HOW I WAS FELLING FOR ALMOST A MONTH AFTER THE PURCHASE
TIME TO SAY THANK YOU TO MY PARENTS FOR HAVING FAITH IN MY AND GIVING ME MY FIRST BIKE YAMAHA R15. THANK YOU. LOVE YOU A LOT.
