even bajaj incorporated Anti dive to encourage ppl to use front brakes, in an interview rahul bajaj said, ppl in india do not do it thats why most scooters skid, we are including anti dive and we ask ppl to use both brakes for better braking.

Once I noticed a uni's leg gaurd modified!!! The dude had built a steel box for storage with the leg gaurd as the skeleton. I took a picture of it. will post it when possible. I shiver to even imagine a crash on that bike. Hope he keeps his gaurdian angel happy.

thats the most important thing. providing education and seeking education. the real problem lies in the reluctant nature of people. there are people who just buy a bike and know how to run it. (how well, God knows) thats all.
o.k. tell me, HOW MANY OF US ACTUALLY GO TO DRIVING SCHOOLS TO LEARN DRIVING OR RIDING??? (im not sure if we have two wheeler training school in India!) all we need is a friends or relatives vehicle and a person who knows to ride it
even im no exception
look at the license eligibility criteria in developed countries.

its all about how much you love your bike. you'll try and dig out as much info as u can to keep your bike healthy and ride safe. thats what i call BIKING CULTURE.

hehe so true i got my LMV license even when i did not know how to drive a car, i learned it later.

i own a red FZ i pay the cleaner 100 bucks/month just to keep my bike clean and shiny, a guy in my flat has the same red colored FZ, and ever come and look at his bike its already majorily scratched and abused even though he looks like a young bike crazy guy.
