"A Funny Experience" MY BROTHER

This is story way back year 2007 when I bought my first 2Wheeler, Hero Honda Splendor. Just collected keys from show room and being new driver asked their guy to drop me outside as I was not sure how to drive on their narrow and steep ramp. This guy dropped my vehicle outside.

I took charge of vehicle. This was my first vehicle, bought with my own hard earned money. After inspection started the bike and kept throttling and find vehicle is not moving at all. All guys behind me started honking. That same show room guy came back and told me, "Sir, don't check the vehicle, it's new. Just put it in gear and move on." My god! I had forgotten to put it in gear and just giving throttle. I reached home by driving it only using 2nd gear.

That was my max level of confidence. After reaching home, we had pooja. Then my younger brother wanted a ride. I drove while he was pillion rider and I instructed him not to talk or advice me while I drive. Otherwise bike will stall. I drove him till empty stretch of road, LowerTankBund road near HussainSagar side. He told me he can drive very well. Then I was pillion rider. He took control, put the first gear and accelerated....vroooooom. First wheel of my new bike was in air while I fell down. This guy drove it same way one rear wheel, for next 50 meters and slipped on his left leg. He got a hair line crack in ankle and lots of swelling.

Stood somehow. I ran there to make him aside from traffic and lifted bike to side stand. Man within 1st hour of bike ride, I had a younger brother with injury, bike with handle bent, clutch handle broken and battery leaked. That’s all. Now my same brother has 4Wheeler license without learning any driving and wanted to drive my uncles SX4. I said no man, NEVER......................
