11 years. From a college kid to a 31-year-old man... we grew up together.
I was just a 2nd-year graduation kid in 2015 when I first got this bad boy. Back then, life was simpler, and this bike was my whole world.
Now I’m 31, deep into the grind of a professional career, and honestly, a lot has changed. But every time I hop on this seat, I’m that same kid again. This bike has been the only constant witness to my journey from a boy to a man.
The odometer stopped at 1.3 lakh kilometers about four years ago—God knows how much ground we’ve actually covered since then. I’ve burned through more than four sets of tires, but that engine? Not a single issue. It still holds as strong as the day I got it.
It’s weird to be this attached to a machine, but I’m just lucky to have you, buddy. You didn’t just take me places; you showed me the world while I was figuring out who I was supposed to be.
Still thumping. Still holding strong. Thanks for everything.
