Passion
Passion
I love riding. I collect and restore motorcycles, modify cars and bikes, participate in shows/meets and am a part of most local group / specialty rides. Love riding out, tinkering with my machines and talking workshop with acquaintances. The motorcycle is, I believe, the most important attribute in my life. It allows me to explore new places, unknown culture, and people; Enjoy the journey not the destination. There is a thrill in riding, absorbing the scenic wonders, getting tactile feedback from the bike and in being a motorcycle enthusiast. I am an avid outdoor person; I also like mountain terrain cycling, trekking, gardening and cooking - (Indian, Chinese, Continental, Oriental, Italian)
