Got a couple of crazy comments recently for my 6 days old baby - Hero Impulse.

Yesterday :: One man asked me the most common question - Kitne me padi bhaisahad (how much is it bro?). I replied - 76,000. He asked very curiously - Aisa fir isme kyaa hai (what this bike has so special on such a price). I was not sure what to reply. Here he fired his next question - Average kitna hai (what is the mileage). I replied - somewhere between 40 to 50 depending upon riding style. He was shocked - Baas, fir bhi itni mahangi (only 40-50 KMPH and still so expensive) .

Today :: A 15-16 year guy to his friend : Are dekh yaar is gaadi ki seat, aaraam se chaar jane baith sakte hai (look at the seat, it can accomodate 4 persons easily) .

lol....

Hava aati hai kya?

Well i have a p220F.
An uncle asked me "With all this big thing up front (referring to the fairing), hava aati hai kya?"
I was like "Im sorry".
Uncle: "Are is chiz ke bina pairon me mast hava lagti thi.. Abhi bhi lagti hai kya???"
I LOLed myself in my head and said "Haan uncle ab bhi aati hai!"

I mean how does it matter yaar, unless ur wearing a lungi while driving...

Mine is Hero Impulse. While I stopped to smoke, a guy was quite more curious about my bike and started asking

Hero company ki bike hai. Hero Puch waali naa ???
(Is it of Hero company. The same of Hero Puch one, right?)

Top speed kyaa hai?? I said - aprox 100.

Kitne CC ki hai?? I replied - 150 CC.

To ye to bas dikhaane ke liye hi racing bike jaisi banaai hai company ne... (so does the company make only a show off racing bike look like).

I did not say anything as normally people does not understand offroading. I smiled, started the bike and jumped the bike over a unsorted stone pile and did not bother to look back .

Yesterday at Western Express Highway, two pandus stopped me for checking papers and licence and after their verification, they started enquiring about my bike (R15 V2) as in price, mileage etc...Then the fun started...
First one turns to the other and tells, "Such a waste bike...Nobody can sit behind, rider has to bend so much...waste of money..." (Translated version)
I laughed at their ignorance and sped away...

he he! Happens to me too now :P
Worst part is that since Vasai feeds the parasite city - mumbai, we are blessed with load shedding. Somehow people link them up and end up staring at you with disgust when they see 'electricity' being wasted!

Ha ha ha.....that's cute.

While at the petrol bunk, this little kid jumps around my bike screaming "apache" "apachee...". Then he comes to the front and it was as if someone asked him what is 6 x 3. He stood there baffled, staring at the bike, wtf is this thing??. His dad comes along laughing, picks him up and rode off.

simple joys of being a biker ;-)

Oh, by the way, My ride is a cbr

I got new tyres on my 7 year old LML Graptor and just took it out to some shop. A kid playing nearby comes over looking at the bike, and in a couple of seconds his older brother joins him and both are staring at my bike. Just as I am about to leave, the older one asks me, "Is this new bike?" I almost fell of the bike, but regained my senses to duly inform him that it was actually quite old. See how well I have maintained my motorcycle. seekho kuch mujhse... hehe

recently after fitting K&N in my decade old cbz classic my sister said "bhaiyya plzzz get the new bike, your bike now sounds like bullet!" i stayed quiet

Comments from a colleague on my CBZ Classic, "Your bike sounds like a tractor".
My reactions were mixed for obvious reasons

Next time, tell you friend
"Yaaa..I know, I tried putting it on a R15 but it won't fit. It doesn't fit my bike either, so I'm using it."

one uncle told me at signal: "lights are on"
i usually do not bother to reply but said this time: "cant turn it off"
he gave a smile that seemed like "oh i understood", and then he said, "i am sure the button has shorted out (with - "see i know it well" tone)

This happened to me once.

A guy riding his dazzler very rashly, lidless on a highway with a pillion.

We happened to be besides at the traffic lights. He asked me what was the top speed i had reached to which I said 140 on the speedo. He said it can touch 175 if i ride properly. I didn't say anything to him, but i was like 'what the hell', 175 on a 220....maybe he might have ridden a 220 with a self induced speedo error

if a guy rides a platina doesn't mean he can't shell out 1.6L or he can't buy a CBR. Respect biking...



The most irritating thing,
People: Why did you go for a DISCOVER, should've bought a PULSAR instead.
Me: Its Discover 135, performs marginally close to a Pulsar 150 Ug3.
People: Nope, its still a DISCOVER
Me: You should've shelled out the extra 15k on behalf of my parents & gifted me a Pulsar 150 instead. STFU!!!


on seeing my new pair of AXO PRO gloves
Friend: won't suit you on your bike, would've looked nice on a R15.
Me: Why? Would the tarmac turn into silk if I happen to fall off my bike??
Friend: Still, why spend so much money on a, & I quote, 'FALTOO' bike???
Me: Either tell your dad to gift a not so faltoo bike or shut the hell up!!!


Friend: Ye bike kitna tez jata hoga, max. 70kmph.. hai na??? (How fast does this bike go, max. 70kmph??)
Me: Goes arnd 103Kmph.
Friend: Mazaak mat kar, Pulsar thode hi hai jo 100 tak jaata hoga... (Stop kidding, it ain't a Pulsar to be pulling to 100)
Me: WTF!!!!


standing on a signal
Man on a 100cc HH: Hmm... Acchi bike hai... Kitne cc ki hai??
Me: 135cc (smiling to the man)
Man: Bajaj k bikes ka pickup itna zyada hota hai k darr lagta hai chalane mei, aaram se chalana beta.
Me: (rides off)
