When John Abraham ditched a girl for his bike

That John Abraham loves bikes is no big secret. But what's lesser known is the macho-star's crazy obsession for his two-wheeler in his college days. Revealing this to Tellychakkar.com, yesterday at the launch of super bike Aprilia RSV4, John said, “There is this unflattering episode from my college days which I am really not proud about. I was riding my bike with a girl seated behind. Somehow my bike skidded and we both fell down. The girl unfortunately fell on a jeep and was injured. I, however, was more worried about the damage my bike's oil tank had suffered. The crowd that had gathered there shouted at me for neglecting the girl and I was like 'My oil tank is leaking'. I was more worried about that.” Well, knowing the ladies man that John is we are really surprised that he cared for the bike instead of his female companion. But John himself agrees he was young and bratty then. The star who was gifted the super bike by its makers, also stressed on wearing helmets while riding. "What’s the point in speeding without a helmet to impress a girl when she won’t even be able to see you and all she will say is ‘what an idiot’. We hope all avid biking enthusiasts who avoid wearing helmets are listening.
