Hello All,
After about 7 years of being an avid reader and following principles of driving taught by T-BHP, I am finally proud to become a member! thanks to Mods for allowing me in.
I am Karthik, aged 31 years. originating from Hassan in Karnataka, I have made my home in Bangalore. I work with Accenture.
My family consists of of 2 kids Aditi(6 years), Aarabhi (3 years) and my better half Veena, who have come to become travel freaks like me in the last 7 years. The moment I say a trip, they become super exited and ready to start anytime. Our trips involve 2-3 days on road and usually involves a mountain or a water body, that's our favorite
My journey with automobiles below:
1. TVS XL Super - Dad bought this for college
2. TVS Victor - This is Dad's, but i used to use it mostly
3. Love for RX 100 started during college and finally materialized in 2004 after i started working. Had the RX for an year and could not spend much on fuel as i had to travel a lot and stopped using it and it was kept in hometown
4. Bought a used Baja Caliber and sold in 6 months as i had to travel to UK
5. Bought a used pulsar 150(2nd gen) and still have it, running absolutely fine, very low maintenance bike
6. Bought my first car - Maruti 800 AC in 2008 when i moved to Bangalore from Mysore and sold it in 2010
7. Bought a used Hyundai Accent( this one is for passion) and sold last year. performed very well, This is one car which comes to my mind as a perfect Sedan shape apart from Optra. I still love this as a sedan and prefer its shape than any other outgoing sedan < 11 laks
8. As my kids started growing taller and my trips to long distances increased, I needed a 7 seater and bought a Bolero ZLX last year. Absolutely love driving this jeep. Every time I drive it, my love for it only grows
9. Finally, taking inspiration from below thread on T-BHP restored my 1995 model Yamaha RX 100 completely with all new parts except the tires, engine and Silencer(did not want to loose out on the sound). Don't have a pic right now, but will post it soon

Apart from automobiles, I love getting adventurous. I have completed a few cycling trips, done parasailing, trekking to KP, Completed half marathon last year in about 2 hours and 30 mins.
A few pics of my rides, family and myself are attached.
Thanks
Karthik
