Default slippery rear

@maestro: gud u posted. since u have a done long rides and u r familiar with road conditions around thane n mumbai, I feel you are the right person to approach.

I have experienced light skidding the moment rear tire enters a wet patch of road on my GS. same is the case with muddy roads. Is it an issue with your bike too?? I am planning to put on a Zapper Q 100/90 - 18 on my bike, how well does this tire performs in wet conditions?
@ all: many other possible tire solutions are welcome.
Danke!!

if you are visiting chidambaram, saradha ram hotel or akshaya hotel are the best place to stay, boarding lodges are there but it won't be that good.
Economy class lodges are ameen and naveen lodge and one more is there near busstand,

Try to taste the moorthy cafe parrota or laapa there.

Chidambaram is known for gold covering jwellery

Don't forget to visit the pitchavaram mangrove forest, and if time allows visit annamalai university one of the biggest (in size) and famous (now infamous) university.
Madhu even i recommend saradha ram in chidambaram ..He was also want to visit my town which is just 55km away from that place ..But he afraid of local language .....We both know many of Foreigners Visiting this places without much problem in language .....

Hey even i have seen vertigo...it looks cool...one doubt though, how can you feel grip of a tire on road by merely touching it?
the logic is our skin is very different from the material of road etc., also when we ride a bike there is certain amount of load on tire which also contributes to traction. could you kindly explain if there's any specific method which you have used to test the grip of a tire without fitting it on bike? i mean, using some kind of material or something...

Exclamation am in confused...

Hi.. am new in this group....

my name is Benjamin Sebastian
am from Kerala..
21-age

am planing to buy a new bike... but don't know which one i choose
actually am little fatty too ...

i like Suzuki gs150r
and i book that bike last month for BLACK color
but still now i didn't get my bike... because of color...
today i got a call from suzuki showroom

he said that orange color is available...
there is no other color
but i love black

friends...... please please help me...
what is ur opinion about orange color ?

My requirements are as follows:
1) Comfort: I will be riding the bike mostly alone, but the pillion rider should also be in a very comfortable position. Especially hopping on and off should be easy.

2) Fuel Efficiency: Anything around 50 would do.

3) Riding conditions: Purely city driving. Rarely on highway runs

4) Ownership cost: The cost of spares, services and overall A.S.S. should be good enough.

5) Price: Max 70-75

my friends told me to take P180
what should i do....?

need your suggestion...
i need to decide before 10 june...

I guess you can take the orange one, even the orange one is actually orange/black.
and the orange in newer versions is mostly red, so it doesnt have a faded look either.
And since you're 21 i guess its ok to go for a colour that stands out instead of taking black which is very common in all bikes.

P180 if you want power and dont care about mileage, and ofcourse, if you dont mind being another brick in the wall (with every other bike being pulsar)
GS150 if you want mileage, looks, and enough power for city/highway (may be not for race tracks though)
