Marco's Bike

DISCLAIMER :- Any character portrayed in this post is purely coincidental and do not bear any resemblance to people living or dead.


How important was the day when you bought your own 2-Wheeler - very memorable, isn't it ? Well I was ecstatic; but the moments of joy and happiness were confined to my soul self.

A bike company once asked its target audience "To Live Off the EDGE". Marco, who had been living on the edge for sometime now was certainly interested in getting one of those.

Here I present to you a small incident in the life of Marco. Marco ( fond of fish ;-) ) did not have previous experience of driving a 2-wheeler. One fine morning, Marco's parents come to know that he has decided to buy the bike. Worried as they were, this came as news to me and all his friends. Be it lunch-table discussion, coffee breaks, whatever, Marco was the center of discussion, or rather Marco and his bike were the major points of discussion.

Now since I was in the same city as Marco was, I decided to take a ride on this 150cc bike. Initially, he used to come to meet us "not" on his bike: his reasons being a minor/major malfunction in the vehicle, or his roommate has it. But, when this became a regular excuse all of us started having doubts ......... well there were a few very genuine and wierd doubts - i'll keep that to myself.

Nobody in my friend circle had seen his bike; and very recently I have come to know that he has sold it off. There goes our source of Entertainment....
The mystery still remains whether Marco really had a vehicle, or was he just Living Off The Edge.
