2 Wheeler

I remember going to my school with my father on his motorcycle. It was a ‘98 Honda CDI 100 Japanese model. To be honest, I am feeling the same excitement, the same sparkle in my eyes that my father used to have whenever he talked about the bike. It’s an emotion and I get nostalgic while writing about the motorcycle. A 2-wheeler that takes you from point A to point B, you spend your savings on its maintenance but you still cannot have enough of it is also known as a motorbike. People have mixed feelings about motorbikes. On one hand, you will find thousands of motorbike enthusiasts, and on the other hand, people who figuratively hate bikes for their dangerously risky ridings and countless red flags. But nothing can decrease the love for bikes from a biker’s heart. From tiers to the engine, color to torque, bike enthusiast tries gather all the knowledge and also tries to modify their bike according to their gathered knowledge. That is how much people can go crazy about bikes. Asking a biker about his bike is like asking Shakespeare to talk about one of his writings. But it is also true that not everyone is a fan of motorcycles. If you ask people to rate the most dangerous vehicle bike will be the first one on the list and there is no doubt. From Shiftwalker to the latest motorbikes, the enthusiasm has just increased with the generation.

The first bike that hit the road was invented by a German invented named Gottlieb Daimler in November 1885.                         

The concept of the motorbike is simple. It is a revolution. But Daimler was working on an ICE engine. They just wanted to find out whether ICE engines were viable for use in vehicles. Thus they created a revolutionary vehicle that created a huge market and business. Once bikes became commercially viable, there was no stopping their growth, and constant evolution kept the ball rolling. The world was introduced to various types of engines like Inline-four, inline-six, L-twin, and many more. 

The materials used in construction increased, as did reliability, and the list goes on, eventually leading us to today when motorbikes are entering an all-new era of electrification.

From its creation to recent days, motorbikes have had a revolution and improved a lot through their journey. Like it or not EVs are doing great with cars and they will take over bikes also. Electric bikes are improving and they are targeting a huge market. It is just a matter of time before diesel engines will be just decoration in museums. Even though EV bikes have many benefits and it is also nature-friendly It will crush my heart if they ban diesel engines.

Millions of admirer bikes still are in the hated vehicle for just one reason. And the reason is it is Dangerous. YES, the bike is indeed dangerous and no one will deny that. Every biker has to be careful and sensible while driving a bike. Most of the accident that happens on the road quarter of them will include bikes. Sometimes it’s the biker’s fault but most of the time this dangerous accident happens because big vehicles like buses, trucks others do not give much attention to the bike. According to research, Bikes contributed to 37.78 percent of deaths and three-wheelers to 21.71 percent. The ARI data shows a gradual rise in bike-related accidents and deaths in the last few years. At least 1,097 people were killed in 958 bike-related accidents in 2020 while the numbers were 1168 and 1056 respectively last year. (Adhikary,22). It is always fun to ride a bike but it’s like ricking your whole life for a glimpse of the fun. Another reason for the hatred is the loudness of bikes. Bikes can get a little bit loud. That’s the thing that bikers love about bikes, the exhaust note. It is indeed a guilty pleasure.

I have a dream. A dream that may not come true but it will be always on my bucket list. My dream is to travel by bike. There are so many majestic places in the world and so many places to view. Riding a bike is like an addiction. Recently so many people started traveling by bike and their journey story sounds like magic.

The bike is an adventure. It takes you to another level of enjoyment and helps you to create many memories. Whenever people engage with something like a bike, they always create something extraordinary. Indeed bikes have their cons and disadvantages but the love for bikes is unconditional. There are more generations to come who will adore and take the motorbikers community ahead.
