I learnt bike from Ashoka who is my close friend, hostel-mate and classmate during my engineering days. I owned a TVS-XL which was less than 80cc :) during my engineering days but had a great experience riding that vehicle for more than 11,000 kms. It did not give me even a single trouble during these 4 years not even a puncture :). Even now I have an immense attachment to that vehicle. I use that during weekends.
After some hesitation I finally decided to have a ride. I did not know how to start that bike also :). My brother-in-law thought me the basics of that great bike. On that day I rode the bike for around 2 or 3 kms. I was really impressed by that ride. The pickup was great. The looks were awesome. It was a sort of love at first ride. After that ride I started looking at the details of that bike. I started reading reviews. Many people suggested me not to buy that bike as it is very heavy but I could not take my heart away from that bike. I went to other bike showrooms to have a test ride. No other bike was an alternative to thunderbird. One fine day I went to Royal Enfield showroom to ask for the onroad price. I then realized that a newer model of thunderbird is coming and hence there is no stock of the bike. They told me it might take a month to start booking of the bike. During that time I read the technical details about this bike and I could not make my mind to buy any other bike. Around 20 days later, they gave me a call to book the bike. I went to the showroom and booked my new Thunderbird twinspark. After a week my new thunderbird arrived. Now my bike's kilometer reading says 300. Really I enjoyed every kilometer I have ridden on this bike except the first 20 km which was my first ride from showroom to my home as I was afraid that someone will hit my bike on the very first day :). Now I am very much comfortable with my new bike Thunderbird - Twinspark.
