Making up for the promise broken ...

I made a promise to keep this blog updated and have not taken a look at it since January ... there are reasons for that but then I would not get into them because I could have made time for it and I did not. Lots of things happened since then and I dont even know where to start.

I lost my motorcycle or rather had it stolen from my office parking lot and am still settling with my insurance companies ... God knows when then whole thing will end. I have purchased a replacement motorcycle and I dont know how I will make the payments for those and I dont know how the whole process is going to settle. I am just praying that I did not get myself into a deep mess.

But then I have added another love to my long list ... or rather never ending list. Somehow I always seem to be in love. I know that its a wonderful thing but I also got to know that heartbreak is a terrible thing and it can take a long time before you can accept somethings ... hope nothing bad is going to happen to me. Anyways, pessimism aside, I have a few photos of my lastest and me ... I still can not keep my eyes off her (though I am not sure if that is how I should be referring to it :D).



Like they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. I hope everything works out well.

What is it about motorcycles that makes me go crazy ...

Hmmm ... that is a tough one to answer.

The feel of wind on the face ...
The rush of adraline ...
The sheer feeling of being free ...
The open space in the front ...

I probably could go on and on ... there are so many things about motorcycles that are so great ... I wish I could learn about the engines and the make of the motorcyles - the design of the machine, the beast that I have come to admire and love!

I was looking about the engines on the internet the other day - two stroke, four stroke, Otto cylce and many other cycles along with steam engines, 16 cylinder, 22 cylinder and jet engines too - I found a website that had animations for the different kind of engines available. It was wonderful getting to know what a cylinder is, what a valve is, what two stroke and four stroke means.

There was this website that had some information about a motorcycle technician - it costs more than 500 bucks - I wish I could do that course. I am spending so much money that I did not want to spend on this now. Maybe after a while - when I have saved up enough money. I wish one day I could learn more about these things. Life could be more interesting. Anyways off for the night. Good Night everyone!

My lastest love and me ...

Its been a week since we started going out and all I can say its been great so far and I have been riding a little rougher than I would like! I should handle it more carefully and more softly I guess but it might be a while before I get there - the bike loves being rev'd and the sound is music to my ears. Can not wait for it to be run in completely.

The jacket, the gloves and helmet are still problems but I kind of seem to be getting used to them. I am not stalling the bike any longer - I guess I am now paying attention to my baby! :) Maybe after it is run in completely I can take it to a racetrack - wouldnt that be nice?!
