BIKERS CLUB OCTOBER 2019 ISSUE | Page 12

THE INTERVIEW Sachin Bramhe BY BIKERS CLUB BC: How did you start riding? And how long have you been riding? SB: It actually started with sitting in front of a table fan holding a wooden stick as a handle bar and my younger sister holding my stomach. Riding was like a basic instinct since my childhood right from learning to ride on Papa's vespa to getting my own Yamaha RX 135 on which I've started riding on farther places solo or with a group of friends to Goa or Delhi. It was the year 2000 when I started riding on my Yamaha, so it's almost 19 years I am riding on the bikes I've owned covering at least 300,000 Kms. BC: Why biking? What do you mean by a biker? Are all motorcycle riders are called bikers? What qualities you think a biker should have? SB: As I've shared how I started riding, it's like I haven't chose riding rather riding chose me. A biker is a person who loves and respects his bike, a calm rider is always happy to help others on road in emergency or otherwise who hold pride in riding not making it a cause for his ego. No, not everyone on a bike is a biker. Sensibility for roads, people and traffic rules separates a biker from other commuters. As I said, calmness of mind while on ride, sensibilities for others, caring for others and one should not repeat the old mistakes happened on last rides. BC: How many bikes you own? Which is your favorite bike? Why? SB: Currently I own and ride on RE Himalayan, before this I have owned Yamaha RX 135, RE Bullet STD 350, RE Bullet Electra 350, RE Machismo 500, RE Thunderbird 350 and RE Thunderbird 500. Amongst all these bikes RE Thunderbird 350 is my favorite; on which I have enjoyed the best of my ridings covering more than 150,000 Kms. BC: Woaaahh !!! So many RE's.. I think you are a true RE fan... SB: Laughs.... WWW.BIKERSCLUB.IN
