Ken Da,

What you told regarding a bike which can do 600 Kms in a single day and secondly we talk about roads, the big problem is if tomorrow when we have both the things we have achieved something great but then the big question comes is how safe we 2 wheel riders are between those idiot cab drivers and the ruthless truck and volvo drivers who thing road is their pops property and can smash any1 whom they feel. I have seen many 2 wheelers smashing down on the pune kolhapur which is a simple straight 4 lane highway , i wonder whether the RTO is gonna make some strict rules for 2 wheeler drivers to save them from being crushing down by the cabbies

Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.

You don’t stop riding because you’re getting old, but you get old when you stop riding.

A very simple rule will be brought into force and will be implemented the way it has been done in a lot of Expressways... they will ban 2 wheelers from using fast highways!

I agree to your point ken Da, but today we see express highways are built up but still people use the other routes and with that the reckless driving causing danger to every pedestrian and 2 wheeler riders on the road..

And secondly , if they built express highways all the smooth roads will go to the 4 wheelers than again we 2 wheelers are left with the potholes and other waste on the roads, again seeing the high performer bikes dying death without giving their best show

It is funny how the disclaimer "this post meant no offence" always works the other way.

A simple psychological fact: Such disclaimers actually make people to look for something offensive in the post. And more often than not, they find it, even if it doesn't exist.

Disclaimer: This post meant no offence either.

You know what, there is no place like India when it comes to riding a bike. I'm in the UK and the weather here sucks! Its either raining or too windy to just take your bike for a spin.. So just get on to our lowly 8.7 bhp lowly two wheels and make the most of riding there free as a biker should be!
