Motorcyclists Are Bad: Debunking The Myth
Accept it or not, we live in a world where being judgemental is a fashion trend that everyone follows. And when it comes to BIKERS, the misconceptions about them are never-ending. We all have a habit of rating them in our mind. We see them and call them junky, consider them to be irresponsible and think of them as one of those arrogant people we all hate. We are often told that Motorcyclists are bad, by our elders. They are considered to be one of those lovely rule breakers that we have seen jumping the red lights. And if they have tattoos, boy are they in trouble. Not just that, if you see a group of bikers, you just make a mental note that they are heading to places with easy access to stuff to make them feel light, and high. And all of this without actually getting to know them, in person.
‘Never judge a book by it’s cover.’ A saying that we all have heard and rarely do we follow it. So instead of judging them, let’s try and get to know who they actually are. A motorcyclist is not just a person who owns a bike and roams around on the street. He is the person who goes places with his love, his BIKE. WANDERLUST is turned into WANDERLOVE by these free spirits. And that is something that most of us can only dream of, because we are so busy in earning that we forget to live those dreams. But they find time for their passion and and make sure that they do it the right way. Not all of them need to get high, because going places is their drug and the destination is their relief. And there is nothing wrong in getting inked. Taking a little risk keeps that little spark in our life alive. Tattoos don’t make them, or anybody, bad. It’s a choice that they make ; a change on their body, not their soul. And Bikers also have a GROUP, just like we had in our high school and college. Group riding is all about a group of motorcyclists, having the same zeal and enthusiasm to travel, coming together and going places on their respective bikes as a team. These motorcyclists are experienced people and are well equipped with safety gears. At times, you may run out of good luck and that is when these safety gears come for your rescue. These safety gears include helmets, gloves, goggles, knee guard and many more. But getting into these motorcycles club is not everyone’s cup of tea. Different groups have different criteria and each newbie becomes the member of the club after completion of this criteria.
Well, seeing is believing. Ronit’s story has surely led us to believe that ‘Motorcyclists are bad’ is just a myth. You have got to know them before you judge them.
Happy Travelling!
