When all the other kids would break downhill I would pedal harder just to go faster and enjoy the thrill. Adding to my interest for speed, I grew engrossed in the working mechanics of two wheelers thanks to my father as he is a hydraulic mechanic and would take me along with him on his repair sessions. Eventually I became familiar with the tools and basic technical concepts of two wheelers.Super sport and sport tourers are more of my liking and the sparks to these flames were ignited the first time I experienced the maddening power of a Yamaha YZF R1. I was just 14 years old at the time and got to ride as a pillion with an older acquaintance. This one short ride influenced my every decision in terms of the bikes I want to own. As of today I\u2019m 26 years old and a proud owner of a Yamaha Fz15 version 2.0 and a Kawasaki Ninja 650 2014 model having clocked a decent 30k Kms only while touring, waiting to clock 1000s more as riding makes me feel whole again after enduring the dismal routines of life.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/tyremarket.com\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.tyremarket.com\\\/tyremantra\\\/author\\\/ankit_verma\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\r\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Dakar Rally Update Day 9: Stage 8 - Sherco TVS Factory Rally Team\u2019s Pedrero Gains 5th Position","description":"Day after day the 2017 Dakar Rally is inciting high levels of exhilaration and anticipation.

When all the other kids would break downhill I would pedal harder just to go faster and enjoy the thrill. Adding to my interest for speed, I grew engrossed in the working mechanics of two wheelers thanks to my father as he is a hydraulic mechanic and would take me along with him on his repair sessions. Eventually I became familiar with the tools and basic technical concepts of two wheelers.Super sport and sport tourers are more of my liking and the sparks to these flames were ignited the first time I experienced the maddening power of a Yamaha YZF R1. I was just 14 years old at the time and got to ride as a pillion with an older acquaintance. This one short ride influenced my every decision in terms of the bikes I want to own. As of today I\u2019m 26 years old and a proud owner of a Yamaha Fz15 version 2.0 and a Kawasaki Ninja 650 2014 model having clocked a decent 30k Kms only while touring, waiting to clock 1000s more as riding makes me feel whole again after enduring the dismal routines of life.","sameAs":["http:\/\/tyremarket.com"],"url":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/author\/ankit_verma\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2527"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14654,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2527\/revisions\/14654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
