Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Wait, one of my friend just called me to inform that his newly purchased 200NS has Nitrous system in it straight from company, he is inviting me to take a look myself in the morning when I expressed my disbelief. Let's see what happens in the morning.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

maybe he was referring to the "nitrox" suspension

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

One of the guys here owns R15 and is a "biker", comes up to me, looks at the price of SF-1 and asks- arrey this is the helmet that rossi wears naa ??

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I was waiting for my bike's engine to warm up and putting on my jacket, gloves etc in the meantime in the two wheeler parking space in my office.
An elderly gentleman comes over and asks the usual questions, what price, what fuel mileage etc.
He was surprised to learn that the CBR 250 gives as much fuel mileage as his Activa.
I am usually embarrased and a bit irritated at such questions by total strangers but since the first bar on the temperature guage hadnt come up yet, i went about patiently explaining the highway characteristics as well as stability that make it a good bike for my 50 km daily commute.
At the end of it he was quite convinced it wasn't really a blatant waste of money and still waves me whenever he sees me passing by.

Just goes to show what happens when we sometimes change our attitude and response to uncomfortable situations.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Kudos to you. Often, the tone on this thread is like 'Those guys have no idea!','How dumb is that!' etc. The 'bikers' tend to put themselves on a higher pedestal because of buying a costly/out-of-the-ordinary looking bike or for wearing gear.
Obviously there will be stares and weird questions. Because its India where if you have 3 lakhs you get yourself the coveted 4 wheeler which uplifts you socially. A bike is that convenient thing to get around traffic and for getting milk. So, when someone comments on the 'mileage' he is definitely going to be perplexed as to why would someone spend so much on a bike. Once a stranger couldn't associate the low mileage of my KTM 390 with its price. His logic being - costlier should have better mileage. I talked about the power it had and his refrain was - its hard to hit such high speeds. Its dangerous. So I pointed out the gear and told him that I try and follow good riding habits. He got the association and was appreciative.
About gear, its a rarity in India. In a country where even helmet compliance is low and when most of our previous generation has been brought up without ever wearing helmets, change will take time. Same is the case with seat-belts in cars (lets not even get to airbags)
I would really urge everyone that next time you are faced with these questions - do make an effort to put across the necessity of gears or the reason why a bike is costly instead of giving 'meh..' looks and simply smirking.
End of rant :-)
Let the crazy comments flow!

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

But the prize for the craziest comment is a tie between my 5 yr old nephew and his 8 yr old sister.

My nephew (on seeing my bike, post recently watching "Dhoom3") : is this the "Dhoom 3" bike??!

Me: (slightly puffing up my chest)...Well, you see actually...

My niece: oh he's confusing it with a BMW..such a moron!!

Me: (what do your parents feed you??!)

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

I thought of posting here from many days but was being lazy. Some funny moments are:-

One day i was browsing here and on Team bhp on various threads of recently restored Rx, shoguns, RD and Yezdi.

My cousin brother was sitting with me and was getting bored. He and his idiot friends think that they know a lot about bikes. It was then that he replied:-

He:- Come on bro!, what all these are you seeing. these bikes have gone old and look like from world war era. look what all bikes we have now so much stylish and fast.

Me:- Just smiled and replied, beta these bikes are not from you chickens. These bikes will eat for breakfast your so called modern bikes and stylish bikes.

He:- Don't bluff as these are so old and new age bikes are so technologically advanced.

Me:- I just realized my folly and thought without replying that -" What do you boys know riding four stroke bikes. Ride a 2 stroke to know what is power and performance. I am sure your clown friends and you will piss in your pants when you ride a ported rx or RD".

I stopped making him understand that as they have never ridden a bike that is purely mechanical and give pleasure in riding than present electronics gizmos bike.


Another day i was taking my brother for exam to his center of examination. I was on my Joy and i could see the disgust on the face of my cousin brother. He was actually thinking of going on the extreme as Joy hampers his outlook to his friends. But i do not care as i feel proud of my bike.

So the thing is that we are going and two of his idiots friend are accompanying. Of course they were without helmets or any safety gear. They both were on a Honda Trigger that his father has recently bought for him.

Those two idiots were riding like snake wavering right, left through traffic and at one point they overtook a car and from the opposite end a scorpio was coming and they swerved it with inches to spare. A inch here and there or the car would have been a little faster then the scorpio would have run over them.

Now i knew why my cousin brother is not wearing helmet, and also rides rashly with no care for bike or himself. Its because of his useless friends. He would have not in total ridden 1000km in his life, nor would have ridden at a time for 50 km but he thinks he know everything of riding.

The young guys thinks that without helmet riding, zipping through traffic at high speed and riding like no care for anybody is bravery and shows there skills of riding.

I think that you morons if you have so much riding talent then wear safety gear and lets do a interstate ride or race on a track and then we will see.

More have some moments where i have changed people view towards biking which i will share in next post as have to run to office. Also there is new menace here in bhubaneswar called as girls who ride like they are ridding some turbocharged scoot.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Sibun, bring your brother to my home. I will give him a ride on a "stock" ye old bike.. He will understand.

Regarding the rider behaviour in cities today, you are absolutely correct. I dont why rto gives licenses without proper tests and why parents buy these kids vehicles. Maybe they want them in hospitals soon. Who knows.

Girls.... He he... I am happy to follow them.
