Owning a bike was a dream during college which became a reality within a year of leaving college. This bike was purchased on 16 Jan in 2017 and sold on 11 Nov 2024. It never dissapointed but when it was time to let it go, I let it go. While selling the bike, it had 30363 km on the odometer. Here is the odometer timeline and following that is a short chatGPT generated ode to the bike.
Been ridin’ my Yamaha for six years strong
Got it when I was young, but now I’m grown
I was excited about my job, wanted to indulge
Bought a bike when I could’ve walked, that’s the truth I won’t dodge
It’s reliable daily commute, and weekend fun
From city streets to winding roads, it’s my number one
Yamaha FZ, from 2017, my ride or die
From a young buck to a grown guy
Style, confidence, and independence
A coming of age, a life experience
It’s more than just a bike, it’s a state of mind
Meditation and focus, physical and mental grind
Accomplishment with every kilometer
Feels like a sense of pride
Memories to last a lifetime, an experience of a kind
Though I drive the wheels these days, I can’t help but rewind
Endless riding, nostalgia divine, cannot deny,
Always by my side, my Yamaha Ride
