Motorcycles bring out the perfection in a person. No doubt this bloke conquer all odds
Excerpts From an Interview with owner
Why not sports bike? I need comfort for long rides and it’s the best on it
NICKNAME? Shani (Sunny). It took a long time to get delivered, one astrologer told me that bike will come due to shani and after the delivery the first temple I crossed was shani
AWKWARD COMMENT? When somebody asks me which model of Royal Enfield is this?
FIRST SIGHT? I dream of owning a Harley when I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger riding Harley Davidson Fat Boy in Terminator
TOP SPEED? 150kph at Gwalior-Agra Highway, as the bike is new I cannot go beyond that
CELEB YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF? I feel like Marlon Brando when he rode his Harley Davidson in The Wild One
RIDING SONG? “Roadhouse Blues” by The Doors.
FIRST BIKE? First I had Hero Honda Splendor, then Eliminator in 2002, after that Royal Enfield 500 standard in 2006, then Royal Enfield Classic 500 in 2012 and now Harley
RACING? I don’t believe into rushing for anything, I am a traveller who likes to ride and to reach my destination, safe and sound. But I like speed
DREAM CARS? Ford Mustang anytime
KEEPING BIKE KEYS? I put my bike keys anywhere, but I keep eyes on them
DO YOU LET ANYONE ELSE RIDE YOUR BIKE? Never, that cannot happen even in my dreams
PARKING ZONE I never park by bike in isolated places. I always keep it in sight
LIKES Looks and the power. Street Bob model is a classic bobber motorcycle which I like the most
ENJOY THE ATTENTION OR YOU FEEL EMBARRASED? I don’t like attention, but I like when people appreciate my bike
WHAT IF SOMEONE TOOK A KEY AND SCRATCHED THE FUEL TANK? Probably I will beat his ass out
NEXT BIKE? I will buy Triumph Bonneville in 2015
