Re: Car and Bike thread
With a injury to my toenail, I am unable to use my Bullet regularly. The chaos in traffic does not help either. Waifu is asking me to sell both the bullet and activa and go for a Vespa.

Re: Car and Bike thread
The newer bullets have both heel and toe shifter no?

Driving scooter is like driving a mini van in the US. I feel for you Nayak-al-uddin.

Re: Car and Bike thread
My first post in a Car thread
Got a brand new AMG last month, the CLA45. Never thought a 2.0 litre engine could pack so much grunt

Re: Car and Bike thread
Thanks, guys.
There a break in period that puts limit on the max rpm and max speed. So currently limited to accelerating off signals, passing senior citizens cars in a blink and keeping a watchful eye on the needle.
Of course, SHQ cant believe that I would go dor a car with stiffer suspension and I end up getting plenty of dirty looks.
All in all, excellent for bahnstorming. Cant wait for the break in period to be complete.

Re: Car and Bike thread
ShQ wanted to gift me a bullet but i ended up buying a royal enfield himalayan for 10th anniversary. Using as a commuter bike and no time even for a short tour to Mahabs.

Re: Car and Bike thread
Have read a lot about RE's reliability issues. That they are not as well made as the old ones.

Re: Car and Bike thread
I don't think you have ever had an old one
The new ones are actually a lot more reliable with the UCE engine. I had the old cast iron 350, i've ridden diesel bullets which will overtake a bullock cart in two days, and now have a TB. The thunderbird is vastly better than anything I've ever had from enfield.

Re: Car and Bike thread
Does anyone here own/ have driven a Harley? The ones available in India? Would be happy to hear first hand feedback. Thanks.

Re: Car and Bike thread
harley is like mcdonalds. more niche brands like "indian" and "truimph" might turn heads.
my father a banker used a bullet as his official vehicle for many years. his longest ride was around 350km in a day.
it used to have a rear mudguard made of a tin sheet not rubber. one day while having lunch i ran out to see a band party passing by, while running back I slipped and hit my eye onto a corner of this mudguard with the metal going in about 1inch into my eyebrow. all i recall was blacking out, lots of blood, and later my father and uncle feeding me warm water and putting some ointment (stitching was also done while I was howling and kind of blacked out).
I carry that white scar on my left eyebrow for life.

Re: Car and Bike thread
Huh..I don't remember seeing any scar on you...
Dad had a yezdi and I was about 3rd std or something and had contact with the silencer and got a YUGE bag of heat swell on my thigh. It was quite nasty to heal and left a scar as well

Re: Car and Bike thread
I had the old cast iron Royal Enfield Bullet 350 too, never gave me any trouble; but then I got it serviced every month. What a joy it was when after 20 years I saw one parked in Reston Town Center, Virginia.
Longest day ride was around 255km/day, loved it, miss it. Now that am older, wish they make the same cast iron robust one but with a smaller frame (not like mini enfield they used to have).
On a side note, a friend of my cousin had to be amputated waist down after he crashed into a truck riding his bullet.

Re: Car and Bike thread
Which RE do you own? If you have one with a front disc brake learn to use the front brake Saar. That way you can keep your left foot on the gear shift and lean on your right foot.
I just got myself a RE Bullet 350ES last week. Here is a picture of said ride:
