1998 APRIL , I bought My first BIKE in Life . A Brand New SUZUKI Samurai. …When I was buying , someone said NOPROBLEM YOU can go ahead. So I said ok then No PROBLEM I shall buy it .
First two months I was very careful on this bike to get adjust with . Once we became friends , My Bike said NO PROBLEM . Then Life was Moving in Bangalore City. City congested with millions of Vehicle, but friend Said NO PROBLEM . Days are going fast , I was in my first JOB.. .
I carry many things on my friend . When I put more load on him , he will look at me and smile and will say "NO PROBLEM :. Life moves on .. I travel every day on my friend ... around 70-150 KMs , But he smiles and says NO PROBLEM. Year 1999, , My entry in IT industry ... My friend now travels Just 25 KMs Per day .. I was in office most of the time than with him. But he still said "No Problem "..Year 2000 , I got a good offer in Chennai based company . I have to move to Chennai .
So I told my friend to stay back for few months in Bangalore . He smiled and said , NO PROBLEM.. Since then my friend was staying in my another friends car porch ... For six months no one looked at him.. Or not even single day he had fuel to drink, he didn’t take bath ... He was just with full of dust and nothing else.. After six months, I visited my friend .. He was still looking at me and said “No Problem” ...
I just switched on and did the kick-start. My friend with nice smile, said hey man No problem..Lets go for a round.. I was really amazed.. He is still strong enough without even single day kick-start and without oil change / fuel change. & without a single service!!! We traveled almost 25 Kms .. On the way he was keep on saying I am OK No problem don’t worry ... Decided to bring him to Chennai .. We traveled in Chennai mail from Bangalore ... We reached Chennai , Found him a place to stay near to my room .... Then… we again started going together to office.. and under Chennai HOT Sun , My friend was smiling and saying no problem.... year 2001....got another break in Hyderabad, so I have to leave my friend for sometime .. but this time I decided to take him to My own state keep at my home ... we traveled to Kerala .... and 1 week we were celebrating our vacation in Kerala hills ... my friend was so happy to climb hills and curves.. and still he was saying no problem ... after 8 months long stay in Kerala made him little lazy .. But after a small service, he became normal.. I had spent 500 RS that day ... and we went to Hyderabad ... had a nice time there ... He loves the ride on banjara Hills ... and he was so happy and always says no problem... no service nothing ... And he was making sure , my economy is not geting effected ... he gives me solid 48-50 kms per litter without compromising on power .. I used to ask him don’t you get tired ? He always smiles and says No problem....
Year 2002.... Got another break , in Bangalore. So I told my friend, this time you will not be left out.. We both go together..... Shifted to Bangalore ..... Again Bangalore traffic .. I started riding him on foot path to get rid of Traffic jams... all foot paths were guts ... but my friend looked at me and said .. really “ No problem .. Take your own way .... “
Year 2003 we are still together .... One day we were on the way back to home.. That day my friend was murmuring , just take care of my back Tyre.. When I inspected, , realized that its reaching to tube... so spent , 800 Rs to buy one MRF Tyre for him .... Waww he was so happy to get a grip .. He said no problem lets rock...
Year 2004 , I got an offer to go abroad , 1 year assignment ...I told my friend I have to leave you this time , but will be back ..... He said no problem ... Kept him in the same car porch of my friends house ... 1 year no one turned to him , didn’t feed him, nothing ... I was back in Year 2005... I rushed to him ... I couldn’t see his face…. everything full of mud... I just pore water on him... he was like, got up just from a long 1 year sleep , put 1 litter petrol and tried to kick-start, No sound ... again tried …. ho god is he dead ? Again tried no reaction.... Just removed spark plug and cleaned , kept it back .. One kick .. wawww he was really screaming at me ……. Why did you leave me for long ... I said don’t worry , lets enjoy hence forth .... then he smiled and said .. no problem ... lets go... wow 1 year after without service , my friend flown like a wind .....
Year 2006 , I left him again because another onsite assignment ..But decided to send him with another friend who was in need of travel help.... 2006 - 2007 he was with him , Mid 2007 I went back , and met him ... he just smiled and told …hey dude you looks older than me , , yes I had put on massive weight ..... But he smiled and said .. no problem , lets go for a ride ... I was by then crossed 100 kg .. But no problem he was flying.... without a service .....
2007 December left him again..... But he said In fact he promised me, he will stay fit forever for me.... now 2008 …..My samurai is still with me and the Bike ever and he is another family member.. Always young and energetic...... crossing 1 lac kilometers ... no service No problem!!!!!!!
