How is everyone doing. This is Shree Mahan from Bangalore(H.A.L). I apologize for never posting an intro since I joined. Better late than never. So here it is
Name: Shree Mahan
Nick name: shree
Work Exp: 6 years(IT Support/Administration)
Age: 28
Bikes: Suzuki Samurai, Suzuki Shogun and currently an 85' HT
Other Hobbies: I'm a lil bit of climber(our very own Kanteerava, turahalli, savandurga, etc, etc) and cycling(trail-6)
Here's how my story began:
2004/5: Wanted to buy a 350. Ran short by 8k and picked up a shogun(you will not believe the prices of 350's back then, the senior members would be well aware of that
). Idea was to keep the Shogun, save up and then buy the 350 which I wanted to be the first bike I wanted to own from my own pay. So, the story began. I take time, save up and go back to my contacts for the RD's. Guess what? the prices have shot up(doubled). I'm like WHAT!. I save up again coz I fell short(took time again). I go back, now they were quoting in lakhs. I was like, are you friggin kidding me.

I was literally pulling my hair out and kept telling myself I should've put my Ego aside and borrowed that extra 8k from my folks back in '04. By now I had restored my Shogun to the Factory specs(went solo after all the hungama with the mechs in and around town - "If you want something done right: Do It Yourself" is what I ended with). Finally had to Sell off my beloved shogun and finally I made sure I dint run short of the moolah and got the monster home this Valentine's Here's a pic:
and who knows, the person you sold it to may be here as well 
) Let me stop here. I'll end up with long stories if I start.. lol.. i found a few pics:
