  • World's First Comet GT250 running on LPG

    Don't be surprised with the title guys.
    This happened just the other day when I was shifting the things to my new house.
    I was all alone and had to take the LPG cylinder to my new house. It was pouring like anything that day and no autorickshaw was willing to take me (or asking hopeless amount of money) with the cylinder to the new locality. All tries in vain, I was fully drenched and very much frustrated. But then this idea struck me, to hell with these rickshaw guys why not transport the cylinder on my bike itself (I know I am crazy ). I had seen people doing this stuff on their scooters so why not i would try on my bike
    Then I went to the departmental store and bought that nylon fibre rope.
    I put the cylinder on the back seat of the bike and tied the rope all around it. I made sure that all movements of the cylinder are restricted through the rope and I did a pretty good job .
    After I fastened the cylinder properly I started the bike and went very slowly around 20kmph. My new house was just 3.5 kms away. So finally I reached home safely in half an hour and took some photos.
    Unfortunately don't have any action photos but sharing the photos of the cylinder tied on the bike.

    Disclaimer : The following stunt has been performed by professionals and it takes years to practice and perfect them, please do not try this at home or anywhere on your bike

    Hope this little incident entertained you and brought a smile on your faces

    @mods: This is just a humorous incident that I want to share with the guys. If you think this isn't appropriate or something like that, then don't approve it .

                  To add to the difficulty I had a polythene bag containing the regulator and other things which I was able to put it on the tank in front of my belly

                  This incident is a memorable one for me. All the way everyone was looking at my bike itself

                  PS: Did anybody notice the broom fitted on the left side of the bike in the last pic

                  Are you seriously asking this question? If yes then you haven't gone through the text

                    @sumit:relax bro just joking. it is very common in our places as the distributor shop for LPG is far away and home delivery is not possible so people carry thier own cylinder on the bike.though it is not recomended.and yes i have noticed the boom.
