Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes


Thank you so much buddy.

Very little work + lot of time to kill at hand + not a damn worry in the world is the key here.



P.s- Embrace the 'Devil May Care' attitude and all you need is a GoPro camera.

[QUOTE=portedyammie;1180779]Thank you mate! Yes, you can search for my Triumph Street Triple thread with "Red Rose" words in the title...Even after buying Triumph ST, I can't forget RD 350 of course - the original hooligan aka YAMDOOT!

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

The real trouble is when I go touring with full gear on as many of the fellow XBHPians must also have faced: Are you going racing, stunting. I in my mind like "Yeah, Itna saara samaan leke race kar raha hoon bhai"(I am carrying so much luggage so that I can race, sarcastically). I have come up with an equally good reply to get away: "Where is the nearest police station?(in a tight tone)". They get puzzled and I just drive away. Then they want the cost of individual gear. I sometimes feel I should put the price tag back on all the gear to avoid this. Just stand and let them do window shopping.

Another question: "Yeh Joote me taklif nahi hoti chalne me" (These racing boots dont make walking difficult?). I reply "Bhai-sahab, chalne ke liye nahi hai yeh joote...biking ke liye hai. Thoda bahut chal sakte hai (in a nice way)"(These boots are not meant for walking bro, its for biking, You can walk a little though).

NOTE: I reply positively and with all enthu only if I feel the guy is worth it.

Completely agree bro. As long as you have the Motorbiking Spirit, it doesnt matter you own a 50cc bike or a 1000cc bike. Respect, Dignity and Honor.

I am from Pune. Mamus halted me at VAKOLA, Mumbai for routine check a year ago(10 months after I bought my bike). As I had all the documents and with helmet(as I always am), I stopped confidently.

mamu: Licence?
Me: Here it is
mamu: RC?
Me: Here it is.
mamu: PUC?
Me: Here it is
mamu: Tax certificate
Me(Now this was new. I think he asked it because bike is from Pune, But I had this regardsless):here it is.
mamu: Insurance?
Me: ???????? (I have insurance of all parties, but I dont carry hard copy). I dont have hard copy but I can show you soft copy from my email. As it is, I need them only if I hit someone or someone hits me.
mamu: No, I need printed copy. You can show me fake also from email. Also I dont have laptop.
Me: ?????????
Me: See, Will you let me go if I prove I have original copy? My RC says the bike is 10 months old. RTO does not issue RC without insurance copy. Insurance is atleast for 1 year. Hence, I must be having insurance right now.
mamu: OK. (I didnt expect him to let me go that easily).
mamu: You should keep it in the dikki next time
Me: ???????(Pulsar 220F with dikki????)
mamu: Lift the rear seat and attach the papers in the toolkit holder.
Me: (In mumbai, mamu expect you to keep all papers here and not in Wallet)

Not funny exactly.....

Me and my friends discussing about having PUC.

Friends: We dont carry PUC. When, Mamus catch us and demand PUC, we usually settle it in INR 50-100.

Me: (Not at all happy with this kinda attitude): Ok, so how often does this happen.

Friends: 2-3 times a year.

Me: You dumb people, Rather get a PUC worth INR 30 for 6 months. Thats INR 60 for a year and avoid all argument and time wasting. Also, what you do is not a sign of responsible citizen and rider.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Most irritating things people do while driving/riding.

NOTE: Instead of writing the dialogue exchanges with pillion/ fellow annoyed riders, I am putting all things straight to the point, if the Moderator deems it fit.(Please approve..please approve )

1) Is it only with me or sometimes when you unknowingly tail a car on motorbike, they spray water from the windscreen wiper water spray system thing?

2) Helmetless riders chewing gutka/paan and spit spraying (Pichkaari) out of the blue right in front of you.

3) There is completely new breed of riders in Pune who were half cut gloves(the ones from which half the finger remains exposed, probably dancing gloves), no helmet/only balaclava and goggles, strange textile jackets(not riding ones with armor), usually on 100 cc bikes(no offence to any 100cc bike owner here, blaming the rider here), legs at 90 degrees sideways, holding the handlebar 90 degrees sideways, sitting right on the edge of their seat(almost on the beginning of tank), and driving like crazy. These people honk and lane split and cut through traffic annoying everyone. They even break traffic signals. Something has to be done about it.

4) I proudly own a Pulsar 220F. But just because some morons drive this bike like DHOOM, it has a somewhat bad name. I try to rectify as many people I meet on road when they ask about bike, it is the rider to be blamed not the bike.

5) I respect and Obey traffic signal. But then comes a situation when the light is about to go red and I stop for good, but the guy behind wants to get through before the other traffic starts and keeps honking. I wave my hand usually indicating I am not moving bro.

6) Sometimes people just wait for your signal to get yellow and before their signal even goes green, start zooming in.

7) People watsapping, facebooking, calling while riding, as if they are hit by Polio. Cars and bikes alike And the worst thing is that they do this right in the middle of the road. At signals, they are not even bothered to check the countdown to keep their cell phones atleast 5 seconds before going green. They wait all the way and you have to honk 2-3 times before they keep their cell phones away, give you a look as if you have committed a crime and drive away like DHOOM.

8) Is it with me or people actually give a right hand turn indicator and turn left. I have seen autos/bikes actually waving right with right hand and then turning left.

9) I dont understand why people turn on their high beams in city. I mean I know many people whose high beam and low beam are pointing towards oncoming traffic. Highbeam looks at the first floor and lo beam directly at you. Whenever I go walking down on the road in our locality's private road, I carry a LED torch. Any vehicle who approches me with high beam, the driver/rider gets a treatment of LED torch from me(This is just to teach lesson. The torch is not that strong enough to blind someone. But will get his attention)

10) Hate people who push and force you to change lane to make space for them by honking and slowly changing lanes in peak time traffic.

11) There is a breed of people who will stay on the extreme left of the road to make a right turn on a 2-3 lane single way city road. Dont know what they do that for.

12) Even cars with tags of Doctor/lawyer/ army/etc. drive like hooligans these days.


With so many irritating factors, one has to have crocodile skin to keep calm. I keep my calm by saying to myself that if someone else is a moron, I dont have to be a moron, else what will the difference between me and the other guy.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Bought a Ninja,
neighbour uncle : average kitna milta hai?
me: uncle hafte mein average 3 ladkiyon ke number




(But sad truth is, more guys gawk at it than girls)


----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

For the first part:
the motorbiking spirit that you talk about, i agree, it has nothing to do with the CC of the bike between your legs, but sadly, most biking clubs (atleast) in Mumbai have a minimum 300 cc rule, i don't understand the need for this exclusivity...


for the second part:
tax certificate????? what is that?

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I wonder how you dont know this, but anyways .

According to Bombay Motor Vehicles Tax Act, 1958, a certificate of taxation is a tax you pay to use roads to drive your vehicle for 15 years(or atleast thats what I know) i.e. till expiration of RC. When you purchase a vehicle, you get this along with RC.
Its an offence to not carry this certificate as per law.



Mandatory Documents the owner must carry include driving license, PUC, RC, TAX certificate and atleast 3rd Party Insurance. One must carry them and not make any excuse.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

To be frank, I did not know about it myself. I presume that you're referring to the tax paid challan. I always knew that once your (updated/new) RC gets delivered, you need not carry the challan anymore.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I feel you bro I feel you! Same case here with my R3.

Sometimes I feel, It's actually better to buy an R15 instead of an R1 if pataoing(impressing) girls is the only aim. They will hardly know the difference and you will save truckloads of cash

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes


un/fortunately for me, when i saw the ninja 300 for the first time almost a year before its india launch, it was love at first sight. the intention was never to patao girls, but i did realize after i got her, that girls are attracted to shiny things, and my lime green beauty is definitely VERY shiny

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Hi .
Even I used to think that driving license, PUC and RC are enough when I had scooty. But just before I bought my bike, I went through all RTO policies to keep things hassle free when riding. So regardless whether Police asks or not, I keep it and recommend and encourage others to do the same.

Extract taken from Motor Vehicles Department ( R.T.O.) , Maharashtra

11 Do I need to keep the documents of vehicle with me while driving? Also XBHP Pune G2G offline meet rides require these all documents.

....Documents
a. Valid Driving License: MUST have and carry at all times
b. Bike Registration Papers: Original or Attested Photocopy
c. Bike Tax Certificate: Original or Attested Photocopy
d. Bike Insurance: Preferably a comprehensive insurance, personal insurance would be a plus.
e. PUC Certificate: A valid PUC certificate; especially if touring along with the group to pollution sensitive/monitored areas.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

OK I am going to paste stuff that I had written a long time ago on my Facebook page. Here goes (hopefully will resurrect this thread and not let it die an unhappy death - simply because this thread is too funny )

A) I was riding with my headlights on since the visibility was low. 1.2 million people made the famous 'squeezing orange juice' motion with their hands!
Why can't they do the same when idiots don't use headlights even at night??

B) The problem with riding my bike with full gear and helmet with a dark visor, on a hot day like today is - all the aunties walking on the road think I am out to steal their mangalsutra/thaali/gold chain!

C) Ok so I saw the movie Batman vs Superman and didn't understand why the batmobile had an indicator!! I was then 100% sure batman is from Bengaluru. The indicator is only for show... Get it get it??

D) Today, I will tell about the most feared and dream two-wheeler on Bengaluru's roads - The Activa/Scooty/Ray-Z etc

I will list out the amazing features this bike is blessed with and why so many choose to ride it in the first place...


1) Amazing bootspace - yes! you heard it right, you can keep a helmet and not worry about someone stealing it (see pt 6 - later)
2) Amazing combi brakes - A fancy name for both brake cables being joined together. So in effect it gives the stopping power of a F1 car. Shame on you Mr Mallya. You had the answer in front of you
3) 890 degree wide mirrors - Don't worry its never on the bike anyway. They probably use it to watch DDLJ at home
4) Plush suspension - with that long suspension travel and superb ultra large tyres, the ride over even Martian craters is so smooth. Your back will thank you when you are 40
5) Medieval age Maiming Device - Have you seen the chariot scene from the movie 'The Gladiator'? Where the fighters legs get cut off by the blade on the wheel hub? Yep that's already there on these bikes. What's even better, the pillion can ALSO use it to rest his legs :P
6) Helmet - These riders are so hardcore, they don't even need a helmet. When you can go from 0 to 60 in less than 0.3 Milli seconds, who needs a helmet? Wait! some of them do wear the awesomest 'XXX' and 'Roshan' helmets which barely protect their super awesome hairstyle :P
7) Acceleration - these bikes accelerate so violently that they reach 60 in 0.3 Milli seconds (Faster than a missile. also, see pt 6) and then to reach 70 they need another hour. So at every stop sign, all they want to do is be hardcore (see pt 6 again) and race to the next stop sign and look at your bike and say - did you see that, you moron?!

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Interesting and very entertaining thread. From my end I have 2 funny instances.

First one the rumour mills which run as to why the Yamaha RX 100 was banned. Thats right as per many people, the bike's production was not stopped but it was banned by the Government because thieves used to use the bike to loot people/banks etc and get away on these bikes. These bikes were so fast that once the goons got astride these bikes, cops didnt even bother chasing them because they could never catch up!

I kid you now if I have a penny for each time I heard this story, I would be a millionaire! I know that the bike was nimble and had acceleration which would shame even today's bikes but the fact that someone would say the government stepped in (and not the emission norms) to ban the bike is very far fetched. Anyone else heard this one?

Second, when I had purchased the NS 200 4 years ago, people used to ask me where the silencer is. Once a middle aged man asked me whether I had it removed for the look! I patiently showed everyone the outlet pipe each time someone asked me.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

You just reminded me of my activa 6 years ago.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I was once waiting for the signal to turn green. I was riding my 600i back then and a guys pulls to my side and asks me what are those 4 pipes doing near the engine (I was glad he recognized the engine atleast). I replied him saying those were silencers and this is a 4 cylinder engine. He asked if all the pipes work or are they for show case.

I pointed to his bike exhaust pipe and asked him where is the smoke I cant see and you confirm whether yours is working or not and sped away from the scene.

Similar instance where people point at the frame sliders and asks me whether it is to rest your foot. Feeling pity, I told them it is to protect the exposed frame of the bike so that bike does not get damaged when it tips over. He then replies sheepishly why dont you fit them everywhere and you will need it since all parts are exposed and laughs at me,

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I bought NS around Sep-2012 (recently launched) and used to get numerous comments on the underbelly exhaust. One of the guy was telling his pillion rider that, this is a new technology where there is no need of exhaust 😂😂
