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

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 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.

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

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

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.

This is a reply to Abhijeet Bhattacharjee at Post Number 84. This is post number 393.

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)

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

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.

[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


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.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Have to say I love the way your creativity flows. Read that and was like why not shoot it for people are awesome Indian edition [emoji16]

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes


hi brother,


That actually is a better idea. Making the pillion feel close to nature and mother air and mother earth. and that too without any riding gear. Rider in full
riding gear and pillion in loose t-shirt, shorts, parasailing in his chappals. behind an H2R.

Cheers......

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

One can always go for "Parasailing" behind H2/H2R.. !!

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes


hello sir,


Sorry, I didn't have that detail about H2R.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes

Kawasaki Ninja H2 as well as H2R are rider only bikes. There is no provision for pillion in the stock form.

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes



hi brother,


THAT'S a very important point you have made. We must not forget that a guy, who is already boasting about his bravery and lying about his biking experiences
has to be big snob and a scared person. Sometimes, pillions get so scared, that they even jump from the pillion seat. But, you have taught them a real lesson on your 390.

Imagine---make someone sit as a pillion on an H2R.


Cheers.....

Re: Crazy comments u heard about bikes


Now THAT's how you do it !

And cogratulations on your new speed machine buddy.

Good job turning those snobby smiles upside down....ohh wait,.. into wide open mouth screams but i would like to warn/share something here...

Once i also dared/lured a moron onto the backseat of my 390. I was grinning inside thinking about HIS daylight nightmare which was going to happen but then suddenly it turned into OUR nightmare-
I was almost done with the short speed dash and fully satisfied that my pillion's blood has sufficiently curdled up, when that j**k**s jumped off the seat onto the curb disrupting my balance so much that i lost control of my bike and crashed !!

So next time please take this also into consideration.
You never know how a person's going to react who hasn't gone past 60-70 kph & you slap him/her with winds going over 150 kph ;p
