Bowled over by a bike

Whether it's his films or his set of wheels, producer-director Sanjay Gupta can't stop talking about the things that he's passionable about. The owner of two Harleys just added another one to his garage -- a sleek yet powerful Dyna Super Glide Custom. He talks to CS about his new mean machine:



Ride on
I have used bikes from various different brands, but a Harley Davidson always occupies a special place in a biker's heart. Most of the Harley models are bulky and not suitable for riding on Mumbai's crowded streets. So, I wanted something that was powerful but sleek enough for Mumbai's roads. Hence, I decided to get the Dyna Super Glide Custom. It cost me a whopping '19 lakh, but is worth the money!

Bold and beautiful
The bike was delivered to me on the 9th of this month. It is a limited edition bike in a bold Ferrari red colour -- it's really flashy. Not to mention that it has great power and the trademark thumping sound. In the initial two-three days, I was wary of taking it out, as I felt that people would think that I am showing off. But then I thought, 'You can separate the men from the boys from the price of their toys (laughs).' Bollywood bike lovers like John Abraham and Anil Kapoor have loved it.

A romantic ride
On Independence Day, I rode along with other Harley enthusiasts. We went to Panvel via JNPT. Riding the bike in the rains was a heavenly feeling. My wife, Anu was riding with me while our five-month-old son Shivaansh followed us in the car wearing a cute Harley T-shirt. I am planning a long romantic ride with Anu once the rains are over. I have put a backseat and a backrest for her comfort. We also wear identical helmets when we're together.
