  • Crazy comments u heard about bikes

    Hi guys,

    This is to share the funny comments which you heard about the bikes..Just for fun..

    Mine:
    On a schorching noon, I saw a gliterring green standing majestically near ceno tap road cafe day shop, chennai

    Well thats the first time I saw a baby Ninja so closely (may be our community member's darling)..I looked into every components..Suddenly one guy who too watched the bike seriously lik me told to another friend "WOW! This guy did a really wonderful modification job in Pulsar"...

    Pointed at the green pillion seat his friend asked something..He replied that " no da it is painted seat"

    They are telling that the price is 1 lac..

    Suddenly a Karizma owner came there and said "what is in this bike to purchase it"

    I just enjoyed their whole talks and just moved away with some pics..

    Guys I want you to share your experience like this
    Its not about just vrooming the engine, sharp cuts, top speeds...A true biker should understand his machine

          Looks like everyone has come across a lot of comments like this. I was once asked by this 30 something guy If My GS150 was a Pulsar Variant. Took some time to Explain that it isnt, and He now asks me if the Digi console needs separate batteries to run! Man I was Like LOL! But seriously you really cant blame them for the Ignorance nor can you educate them in a day.

          Other Wonderful stuff I've heard:

          1. Machi! ( Tamil for Bro-in law but used More like Saala ) the other day I saw a Sexy SBK with 21 Gears machan!!! (WTF!)
          2. (Random guy talking about Ninja, right outside probiking) Mileage is only 2 Km/lt for this bike.
          3. 2 "dudes" talking about top speeds : I've touched 150 on my Zma! the second guy goes on to brag how his 220 managed to touch 160 in a drag! WTF man..

          I love to listen to these "Illiterates" talk about top speeds, they often think the CC's of the Engine co relate to thier top speeds!

              Ok this dates back to 2005-2006.. I was in college. i was sitting in college parking.. and bunch of students were passing from parking.

              They looked at a Pulsar 180 DTSi. The owner had put on a 120 size rear. Looking at the tyre, one of the guy commented.. " Abbey itna Mota tyre lagaya hai.. Zindagi bhar ek hi tyre chalaega kya.. Ha ha ha ".

              I kept looking at his face.

                The other day I was getting some light stuff added to my bike and was standing besides a local mechanic.

                A dude came on his ZMA and started asking about the 220. "The top speed", he asked...I said it goes up to 135, as the company mentions it. "karizma isse tez jati hai"...I asked as to how fast..."160" was the answer!!!

                "What about the average", he asked again...i said it extracted 45max..."isse achi to karizma hi hai, 50 tak to de hi deti hai"

                now beat that!!

                  ^^ mine is better and bigger than yours... for sure!!! lol!! !

                  - on the ninja - whats so special about this bike?

                  - you couldve bought a car instead!

                  - The bottom will hit each and every speedbreaker out of the showroom. I simply replied, yes, thats exactly what im gonna do, Grind the bottom on every speedbreaker i can find!! lol!!

                  - The average will be quite bad ( i have never checked the average! ), i said yeah, maybe around 18-22kmpl!!! haha.

                  - The R15 plastic body will get damaged when it falls over. - its a hard time explaining to them thats its more functional than aesthetical. And only sane riders should ride it else there will be crashes.


                  BTW i have started telling everyone that my ninja is a modified pulsar. Less attention that ways!

                      A frnd once said - "Bullet 350 is 3.5 HP , because 100 cc = 1 HP"
                      Showed the bullet machismo 350 brochure , it said 18bhp.
                      He says , this is the brake ka horse power not engine ka !!! :O

                        Took my RXZ 5 speed to trusted mechanics shop - small shop in narrow lane - most ppl there see only pulsars - even the only ZMA to come to his shop is mine....

                        Idiot 1 " This bike is the best ... no pulsar, no karishma, no nothing - by the time they put second gear, this will have touched 100"

                        Idiot 2 "Oh houda ...saar ..yeshtu mileage kodotte ? (What mileage ?)

                        Idiot 1 " It gives 50kpl "

                        Idiot 2 " Saar gaadi sale maado idea ideeya ? (Wanna sell ?) "



                        The other thing I remember ...

                        A security guard in my office pointed to my Roadking and was telling something to his colleague. Dunno what other bullshit he told him, but as I passed him I could hear him tell him that its a 500 cc Diesel ! WTF ?

                            almost same happened with me, i overheard two guys and just replace ZMA with ZMR...

                              1. when people see my P 220 DTS-Fi, they'll ask about the price, (95 K on road) and then tell me that i should have brought a second hand Maruti-800 for that money

                              2. some fools, after looking at the Lo-beam projector, tells me its an LED inside. some even argue with me
