The word 'Nosimon' came from an idea to meet a need; a need which isn't affordable by most of the people of Bangladesh. The nosimon is a kind of vehicle made by the villagers of Bangladesh, most of them are farmers who need vehicles to carry goods but can't afford buying one. They made frames...installed three wheels; one in front with steering mechanism, two in rear...an obsolete type to brake sy
stem to stop...a 6-12 horsepower diesel engine to run...the diesel engine generally used for irrigation...
I picked this word for my motorcycle for some reasons. The first reason was I couldn't afford buying a new motorcycle that I required for my daily purposes. I bought the bike as almost scrap and slowly restored using second hand but mostly genuine parts, sometimes the parts were even picked from the trash of workshops...
The second reason is most important. Our government banned the use of nosimon on the highways as they aren't well built, they lack proper brake mechanism, they are three wheelers what tend to end up in accidents in the highways causing casualties etc. Many people in rural areas make their living from these vehicles and they started having harder life after their vehicle got banned. Our government could encourage the local mechanics to built nosimons in proper way which might have least chance to fail on the highways. Instead of that the nosimon got banned and that made me picking this word as a protest against the decision of banning the nosimons. Our traffic police even try to seize motorcycles that have simple fog lights...saying modification of vehicles is illegal in Bangladesh. If installing just a fog light is treated as 'illegal modification', I don't have anything to say but to protest in my own way. Some stupid police officers stopped my bikes, some of them wanted to seize the bikes as they are 'modified' in their eyes. I never say they are 'modified'...I say they are 'built'...just like the nosimon...built on purpose of them who don't afford but can build.
