Joined the club of ACTIVAs

I promised in my last post abt a post on my 'Naya Ghadi'. Some may be thinking what Ghadi, I decided at the end. When we entered the showroom, I was still thinking whether DIO or Activa. But, it was to be made at sometime and Activa impressed me for the reasons I posted in my previous post.
Though I had driven a few two wheelers, I was little tensed when I realized to face the Hyderabadi traffic. It reminds me of a video game that I play and lose on my PC. But, losing to a machine is different from losing to fella riders under very same conditions! I trained myself for the challenge. As someone who relies mostly on feedback to correct things, I asked for feedback from experienced fellas (Gopal, Teju & Arasu). I started asking a few damn questions to get a fair idea on the road traffic. It is all over and it is time I have to be on my own. Konda decided to be a pillion rider on the way to office, today morning. I wished him ALL THE BEST. He would have prayed to his favorite GODs before I pressed the Start button.
Activa's performance - I am not an experienced guy and also hardly followed the technology. It is definitely better vehicle than other two wheeler moto scooters that I tried in the past. Sunny, Marvel and Scooty stand no chance in comparison to my Ghadi. Smooth ride on even bumpy rides, good absorption, no engine problems and good seating level make the journey on this vehicle forgettable and get away with my work. It could have been unforgettable if I had to face a few buzzing their horn when it stops in the traffic. At very low speeds, having someone behind, the handle bar moves a bit and is a concern at the moment. Hope to get away with it over a period of time!
