The man and his machine
Sorry mates! I'm still wondering as to why I put that as the subject line. 'cos it sure ain't me.
Hey! the names Dennis Nicolau Roach. (long one I know). I'm sure you guys can guess the reason for my nick name.
I'm 21 and i'm pretty new to bikes. Dad never owned a bike for me to learn how to ride, he bought a non gear scooter in 2001 even then it was off limits for me. I had to buy my own bike and learn.
January 2005 bought myself a Honda Unicorn. Thats when things started to get intriguing. I wanted to learn more about bikes. That was when I got to know joeljoe and he introduced me to RDD and a few other forums.
I've been a member of this forum for a while, but have been (Like Ron puts it...) a "Lurker". I didn't want my "IPs or IDs removed" so here I am posting the right way 'cos I like being here.
You guys are a lot more sound technically (Main reason I like hangin around here) and are not forgiving at all, one word out of place and I'm done. I didn't want to put my foot in my mouth by saying something stupid. Believe me I suffer from a bout of "Foot in Mouth" disease and it keeps showing its ugly face every once in a while.
Being on this forum had convinced me to get a 2 stroke but didn't have the money to buy one. In the end my friend wanted to sell his 1998 RXZ 4 speed and he gave me a good deal and I picked it up at the end of last year. I am having some problems with the paper work but they should be cleared soon.
I like the DIY attitude of you'll guys. I'm convinced never to let a road side mech mess with my bike.
You wanna get something done right, Do it yourself.
P.S. Sorry about the late intro.

Hello,welcome,make yourself at home.
Fear of loss is the path to the dark side.Attachment leads to jealousy,the shadow of greed that is.Train yourself to let GO of everything that you fear to lose.

No, my parents dont own a bakery. But that bakery that you metioned seems to be one worth a visit.
Would be glad to treat you if you land in bangalore anytime, that is if you believe in giving and taking (Details can be discussed later)
