I am Nigel, from India.
If I was told few years ago that I would be riding a motorcycle one day, I would have laughed it off. Because, motorcycle's didn't make sense to me - why would anyone ride motorcycle ( other than financial reasons ) under blazing hot sun in guttery roads with crazy traffic when they could be lot more comfortable inside an AC car?!
I was also very intimidated by the gear shifting process in motorcycles..
Anyway, at some point in 2017, I realised that I was bored with driving. Driving felt like a chore. May be it has to do with with being too comfortable with yourself. I needed a new toy, a new challenge.
That is when I started looking at motorcycles and the BMW G310GS stole my heart. I think the specs of this bike hits the sweet spot for my ideal bike and the environment that I live in. I know many of bikers talk low about this bike because it was made in India, but reviews are all pretty positive so far.
But there are some problems - BMW G310GS is not available here until later half of 2018. Also, I didn't know how to ride a motorcycle. I needed a motorcycle to learn before 310GS arrives.
So last December, I bought my first bike. Against everyone's recommendations and suggestions, I bought a brand new Bajaj V15 - a 150 cc motorbike. Other than it's head lights, the bike looks cool and unique. It looks like a mini cafe racer in some sorts. And it is the most affordable 150 cc bike in the market.
I plan to travel a lot in coming months. I hope to cross 15,000 km on this baby before this year.
I like making videos but I find it intimidating mostly because I am too self conscious. But this is a great challenge I can work on.
I wish to travel all over the world, and I'm sure I will find this community very useful.
By the way, I really liked the dark theme on this forum
