Life Cycle of a “Baby” to “Bulleteer”
The Metamorphosis of a “Desi” Biker..
When I grow up “as a biker”, maybe I’ll get a Royal Enfield Bullet..!!
A biker is born from the day a little boy starts dreaming about bikes. His dream then manifests itself in the form of posters on his bedroom wall. He promises to himself that when he grows old, he’ll get his dream bike.
A New Biker is born:
But one fine day, the child attains puberty and his dreams are now a fast paced adrenaline filled world. But his dreams are now mostly occupied with images of the “female form” that for some strange reason suddenly becomes so alluring. Thanks to the raging hormones that now flows freely in his young body, the bloke is now obsessed with a three letter word starting with “S”.
The subtle message seems to be.. “Get the ware that I sell, become a man overnight, get access to girls..!!”
Bingo..!! The corporate world manages to peek into these adolescent dreams. And voila.. the market is soon crowded with dream machines that promise to make you overnight into a “Hunk”, lets you practice “Newton’s laws” on the streets with a pretty young thing as pillion, pull “Xtreme” stunts and certifies you to be a “Definitely male”.And the best part is the promise of Zero Maintenance.. “Slam-Bam-Not even a Thank you Maam..!!” Aahh..!! Exactly how “adolescent wet dreams” are supposed to be.
A Biker ceases to exist:
For reasons which might vary across individuals.. the young biker now starts thinking about fuel efficiency.. cost of ownership.. monthly bills. So now he chooses to become a commuter.
Or maybe he is persuaded by his nagging Girl Friend/Fiancée/Wife and dumps his bike for a more family oriented 4 wheeler.
Or maybe he becomes just bored of riding two wheelers. Whatever might be the case.. Rest in Peace..!!
A Biker prevails:
A few either manage to strike a balance, get filthy rich or maybe just remain bachelors..
In spite of escalating fuel costs or a nagging Girl Friend/Fiancée/Wife.. a few bikers somehow manage to stay true to there childhood dreams. They somehow either manage to strike a balance, get filthy rich or maybe just remain bachelors.
A Biker becomes a “Bullet Rider”..!!
“Some Guys will Never Get It..!!” says a Royal Enfield Bullet print advertisement..!! How True..
Not everyone can muster up the courage to ride a Royal Enfield… The Bulk, the temperamental engine, the constant care and attention, the failing parts.. Its not everyone’s cup of tea/coffee. But there is something which sets apart the bullet rider from every other rider.
“When I grow up “as a biker”, maybe I’ll get a Royal Enfield Bullet..!!”
