True. in my office too people act like idiots when they hear my helmet is 5.5k :/ i get so pised because they think best helmet is the 700rs helmet they got :/

Just wanted to share this:
Some 5/6 days back, on my way back from office, I was stuck at the Red Signal (at E.M. Bipass - Sience City Xing, Kolkata) along with 6-7 more commuters. We were standing ahead of the 4 wheelers at the Stop Line.

Just then a Hayabusa (white) came from behind & stood infront of us - crossing the stop line. People started discussing about the bike & it's engine sound.

guy1 (in Pulsar 150 to his pillion): (doesn't know the name of the bike) says in bengali "this is the bike shown in DHOOM"
guy2 (in Splendor): "it sounds like aeroplane, because it has 2 gas pipes" he means dual exhaust.
guy3 (ols man in scooter): "must be very costly"
guy1: "more than 12 Lacks"
guy2: "What is the point in buying such bike in Kolkata - no good roads. At least 3 cars would have come in this price. just wastage of money "

The signal turns green & before we could hit the intersection ahead, the Busa crosses it & zooms away. Rest of the bikers (including me) crosses the intersection & again get stuck in a solid Trafic Jam & find the sexy Hayabusa once again. It was stuck as well.

Guy2 : "Even with 12 Lack worth bike, he is no faster than us" - pointing out at his own old, shattered Splendor - with pride

Rest of the bikers positioned themselves on either side of the Hayabusa to have a close view of the bike.

Guy3 : (old man in scooter): Now just beside the busa could not hold his curiousity any more + a disire to talk to a 12 lacks worth bike owner, "Hello, how much did it cost you?"
Busa guy: very surprised with the direct question, - gazed here & there - removed his helmet & after a moment finally replied. "it's around 15 after tax & insurance"
Guy3 : "You mean 15 Lacks?" very loudly.
the busa guy just noded.
Guy3 : very innocently "what mileage are you getting?"

Now, at this question, I (just behind the old man) could not resist myself any more & bursted into laughter (not at the old man - because he was simply idiot, but at the busa guy - thinking what he must be feeling at this question)

The busa guy (hearing my laughter) turned around at me - he looked quite puzzled - found no suitable answer for this old fellow - stared at him for a quite a while and finally without replying took shelter inside the full mask vega helmet & never even took off the visor though gossips continued (the bike hits a max speed of 500 kmph, police should not allow these bikes within the city, etc. The Pulsar guy even commented that his speedo is actually much better - digital) till the traffic liquidated.

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.

I didn't know riding with sandals was a crime!

Sent from my MK16i using xBhp Connect mobile app

yet im fined for not wearing shoes while riding a bike!!

I was riding my bike one day in the hot summer inside city limits there where some riots going on and a policeman asks for a lift. I give it to him and drop him about 2 kms ahead.

Yesterday i had been to my client's office in Kandivali.

I entered the office, removed my Spartan Icarus Jacket, Cramster Gloves and left them at the reception along with my LS2 lid.

Went upstairs, had a word with client and was ready to leave when the client said that he is also coming down for a smoke.

Went with him and collected my gear from the reception. Looking at the gear he asked me what bike do i ride and why so much gear. Told him abt the safety part and my ride (Yamaha SS 125) which he was not able to visualize. So went downstairs and showed him the bike.

His reaction: yeh Bike !!! is pey sey gir k bhi koi tutta marta hai kya? nahi rey. Kyun itna darr k jeeta hai. agar bullet hoti to samaj sakta tha. (This Bike !!!. I dont think so that any body will die if he falls from this bike. Why live so scared. I can understand if it would have been a bullet)

Me : ??? . Simply geareed up, listented to his bullshit and left the moment he finished his cigratte...
