For motorcycle fans, bikes are more than just machines—they are an extension of those people’s lives, memories, and feelings. Ameya Natekar is just one such ardent rider whose affection for the Hero Honda CD 100 SS is not merely an act of possessiveness, it’s about being reconnected with a legacy.
The First Ride: A Bond Begins
For years now, Ameya’s association with the CD 100 SS began as soon as he saw that cool, not showy ride the commuter bicycle. In contrast to the modern high-tech motorcycles, the CD 100 SS was designed based on simplicity and reliability. However, for Ameya, it was not only a matter of driving but also achieving freedom on two wheels.
He fondly recalls the first time he rode it, the feeling of the wind rushing past, and the smooth hum of the 97.2cc engine, which, despite its modest size, delivered an experience like no other. The 4-stroke, air-cooled engine may not have been the fastest, but its efficiency and durability won Ameya’s heart.
More Than Just a Commuter Bike
To most, the Hero Honda CD 100 SS was just a daily ride, but for Ameya it became part of his identity itself. From early morning lonely journeys along empty streets to long days driving into the countryside, the CD 100 SS never failed him (i.e., neither the equipment nor the rider).
High up in his list of fond memories is a road trip with friends, during which the CD 100 SS came through for him. It was not about quickness or muscle power. It was the fun in the ride, the chats in roadside tea shops, and all the fumbles along the way that made life.His tale is a cautionary reminder that not always, true love is about horsepower top speed, but about the bond between the rider and the bike.
