Pulsating Pulzar

I had always dreamed of riding a bike that tore down roads with aggession. Had always felt the need for a bike which makes me awed with immense torque reverberating and an engine thats revs up ready to shoot me off to a place far far away. Believe me, that was the feeling i got, when i rode the pulzar to its very fullest for the first time. Though a friend of mine had owned one, I had never got a chance to get a feel of the bike until i had laid my hands on my own bike.

Throughout my college days yamaha was always the furthest that i could think of as a bike that actually fulfilled my innate desires in a bike. But my opinions changed in due course. The prospect of buying a Pulzar occured when i moved out of college life. At that time unlike today there wasn't much of a choice in the high end bikes. All the ideas and suggestions that i had gathered from my friends zeroed down to just one and that was a Pulzar. Little did i know that this descision in my life would affect my life in so many ways.

I still have retentive memories of the day when i rode back from office after a hectic day. The Bike was shining new and Speedometer was at 998. The ECR was at its silent best and all that i could hear was the music of a engine roaring under me giving me more than i has asked for. People always tell you that when you fall in love you dont know it instantly. Well i had fallen fallen in love with my bike on that day and i did not know it.

Every time i rode on it, it has always given me more than i have asked it for. It has given me some great moments on it, moments which have been etched upon my brain like the drive back from Mahabs in about 18 mins and the drag races in beach. There are numerous occasions like these and all the times when i have felt lonely and the times when i have felt down it has brought me back to life with a bang. This is my tribute to a bike that is a part of my life and the gratitude that i express to it for scintillating rides every single time.
