We are all motorbikes. 

I know, a very absurd entry for a fitness site.

But I think this entry is especially for people who believe they can’t pull off their fitness aims for reasons like genes, blah, blah and more blah. 

Let me just give an example.

For starters, I would like to state I lost my precious Machismo 500 L 

Now,

A friend of mine owns a Vintage Royal Enfield bike, manufactured back in 59. Awesome huh? This bike makes the meanest sound, gives the worst mileage you can think of, I can outrun it (Seriously, I won against the bike in a 200m sprint) but THIS BIKE RULES because it has ITS IDENTITY. 

Another friend of mine owns a Hero Honda Karizma, he is an asshole. That aside, The Karizma is a great bike too, it rockets! Its like the fastest bike in India (save RD350 and modded RX 135 and Roadking).

Now Karizma boy tells the Enfield dude ‘your bike sucks, its 350cc still can’t catch up to mine, it sucks, its slow as hell, looks like a heap!’ 

Now I love Enfields but after riding the vintage version I too somewhat agree that Enfields are more like a workout rather than a ride.

The Enfield dude got pissed, he decided to make his bike way better in every aspect possible. 

He started by putting a K n N filter, now for those here who don’t know about bike tuning, a proper bike tuning requires you to be patient with the bike, let it get used to one mod after putting up another. (here I will compare the filter to the human digestion system, i.e timing your meals)

After which he put a RD 350 Carburetor (Joined a gym) 

After which he started regularly polishing the bike (had a good bath with shampoos, conditioners, quality soaps, applied creams for scars and zits)

After this he put up new lighter, better gripping wheels (Started consulting from me :p) 

After this, he put up a performance spark plug (Supplements)

After this, he fine tuned the engine to give better performance (Started with High Intensity workouts) 

After this, he had an awesome aftermarket BSA piston installed (Started with inner health programs like yoga or tai chi)

Through the modification, he provided the best petrol speed 97 (High quality nutrition, no junk food) 

After the modification, he molt something like 13k worth silver with metallic green paint to give the most dazzling effect, he put up a bright xenon headlight, a huge windshield. (Got a nice haircut, makeover, whatever it takes for him to feel good in his shoes)

AND VOILA, THE ENFIELD BEATS THE KARIZMA EFFORTLESSLY (I no longer try to outrun it) though it took 14 months to get there. 

Similarly, humans can be modded, they can get right where they want to if they believe they can and work towards it.

I think you noted that just how simple it is to completely turn the tables whichever way you like. 

And let me tell you one thing, the bike even when it wasn’t modded, WASN’T BAD, IT WAS A PROUD BIKE WHICH WENT FOR 2 LAKH RS. But its just that the owner believed that the bike should be better and worked hard to make it.

If you feel you deserve better than what you are, remember it is very simple! Your body is a motorbike, all you need is to be modded!
