It was , is and will always be a great bike to own and ride.
Bullet <-> Joy of riding .

Naxalites and all the people who love revolutions must love the Bullet.

Starting it is like being on a cusp of a revolt. The point in history where the tide turned. Bike may or may not have moved, but yes history has been created. The bullet has come to life and it sends all the vibes to show its displeasure at being woken up, for something as humiliating as a test ride.

Slot it into first gear and it moves as urgently as a kid sent to meet the principal. Reluctantly. Dragging its feet. With that much torque it should go like stink but it does not. With great torque comes great responsibility. Electra's motto, not mine.

It is comfy though. It feels like a sofa with a handle bar. Or maybe sitting on the pot with newspaper in hand. Which is good because you arrive in style, no matter what time you arrive. Or if you arrive at all. Because the brakes are useless. I doubt there is a brake in there. The retardation is due to hamsters running inside the drum in the opposite direction. Or maybe braking is just a faith, if you have believe in it, it might stop. The infidels should just die.

Osama and his bearded homies might also love the bullet then.

Ohkay i admit you look good on it. Even Nannu looked smart on it. Which is something because otherwise Nannu is the only brother who looks good with his sister. The whole sit straight posture helps you look smart on it. But then think about it, the only way to sit on a bullet is straight. Any other way and the Frisbees in the spinal chord will fly out. No, really someday they will, the shudder form starting it will loosen them over time and then one day "Hello is it the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre. Yes I would like to book an appointment".

And don't tell me it builds character. That's what my Dad said every time i protested at being taken to the Village for the summer vacation. That's also what the slap said when he slapped me for protesting too much. Didn't build anything. I still like boobs.

But still i like it. Not as a bike, but as a thing. Sort of like a controversial opinion. It is an opinion. You can't be sitting on the fence with it. You are either this side or that side with the bullet. I like it for that. I also like it for making you have no respect for law, once you are astride it. It is the frown in "ohh those damn bikers".

It does not have an accent. It has attitude and that makes me think of forgiving my friend for buying one.

P.S: In case you have seen adverts of Bullet, don't believe a word of them. It is not a bike for grown up men. It is for young boys. You have to a boy to love tractors. Or fire engines.

But why Osama...he might get a hard on riding it...now that he is already attained his nirvana, must be busy fondling his 72 virgins... (I really wonder why virgins...)
We don’t look good on it.... we also feel great on it.. Cause it is royal. And no one is complaining...

It doesn’t move reluctantly but it is warming up... cause unlike most punny Japanese clones, RE is bult to ride... if you butt can stand it RE can take you, to ladak of cross the border to meet the Osama’s hommies..... that is if the Pakis don’t put a hole in your butt....

It doesn’t build character.... creates one... and if you had gone to the village for the vacation.. might have loved it. The pretty dames and the milking cows...

And talking about Boobs... this boobs are tried and tested.. u can ride it all you like and is it not gonna sag.... and they are original no plastics or silicon inside...

It is not the tire burning noisy narrow seated bike that changes or discontinues every 5 years... it is a mile munching mule, and call it a tractor... so be it... will mow the little things you call bikes.... this tractor is a small beast.. and yes if you wana have beast you got to take care of it...

Re adds can be silly, but what the heck... boys grow up and when they grow up they get to become real men. and real men... have a bullet or love one.. or bitch about in jealousy because they can’t have one.....
