Koi diesel daal tey re petrol ki tanki mein, aa re hauley. kya toh bhi. . Must be Gullu Dada

hau.. ye log-aan ais ichh hai.. kya bolu..

Alright this stuff happened just months back. I used to have a local mechanic guy, a good friend of mine, who used to deal from all those old M80s, Kinetics, all those old school junk (whoops, hope I didn't offend anyone :P).

That other day was rainy dull and on Saturday noon. I was with him talking crap about mine and his personal lives, time pass you see.

Then all of a sudden this damn M80 guy appears, the guy in this 30~ comes fulled drenched, howling, bhai, can you please change the engine oil (translated from Hindi to English ) My mechanic was like, okay sure.

He just waved, salamu alaikkum and hurdled out, then came a frantic alaikkum assalum, from my mechanic. That's when things got curious.

The mech immediately started working on the oil change. I asked him, how the hell are you gonna change the oil, he didn't buy any oil, neither are you, all you have is left over in good looking cans... That's when he turned at me and said the exact thing.... Wait and Watch.... So I did, watch the events unfolded.

First he takes an empty can, fills it with a little left over, unused oil, then he frantically jiggles with his toolbox, finds a can named, LAL GHODA, has some left over oil in it, mixes again with the previous one, then again he pushes me, comes over and gets some leftover fork oil, mixes all them together, gives them a cocktail mix. I see him, he sees me, we both laugh sheepishly.

He pours the oil in the M80, after a while we forget the incidence, just in a days work you see.... Fast Forward a Tea Break... And what unfolded was unbelievable...

This guy comes, takes his M80, goes in for a ride and comes back, smiling.

This is exactly what he said. (Translated from Hindi to Engleesh

Bhaiya what did you do, this thing is just flying, superb pickup and flying in top gear. It took me some time to realize the stuffs we'd done, I was like laughing so so so loud, the laundry guy next to this shop was like, hey, hey, what the hell are you laughing like that for, I was screaming in laughter out of the little shop into the streets like a mad guy.

That night, I just couldn't get enough sleep, I started laughing all of a sudden randomly and mom was like, are you crazy? It took me another hour to explain the thing to her.

Phew! Can call it a day that day!

Cheers!

you shouldn't be laughing.. it was the LAL GHODA that did the jadoo

Yea! You must have been there, the reaction from his face, coupled with the atmosphere in the mech's shop! Oh boy priceless!

Its all about mental satisfaction, this can happen to anyone.
We see great biking people who keeps on changing the oil brand/type from Hero 10W30 -> Gulf SS- -> Motul FS (worth near to 1k) and finally returning to Hero 10W30 again saying mineral oil is the best for my bike! They also get this kinda great feeling during this upgrade phase before finally settling back to mineral !

Few that I remember are listed below

1. I had just learned riding and was very hesitant of riding in the traffic. Still had to break this ice and had to take my bike out for a stroll. So I did and took my bike (TVS Victor) out all by myself. Initially it was great and was loving my first ride on the actual stage. I had to take a turn and as I slowed to take the turn, the engine stopped. People started honking and I am like, trying to start my bike. Due to nervousness I was releasing the clutch early and because of this was not able to start my bike again. The traffic was piling up behind. In the end I moved my bike to the side and started it.

2. Few days later I was coming back from college and as I was approaching a turn found a maruti car approaching me. Suddenly I applied the break hard and as there was a pile of sand which had spread all over the road I skidded and fell. A man came near me as I picked up myself and the bike. He asked me how I was? I just had some minor scratches and a few scratches to my new bike, So, I answered I am fine. He said ok... If you are going straight can you drop me to the next turning. I said, ohh!! whatever !! come...

3. I just had bought my new ZMR and it was just few days and I was going home when it suddenly started raining. It was early morning and most of the shops were closed. So found one shade area near one of such shops. I parked my bike in neutral and went in and as I turned I realized that I had parked it on the slope. It was quite late because as I turned I saw my bike sliding and bammm Ohhh Noooo !!! my new ZMR !!!

This same damn thing has happened to me when I was in my two wheeler learning days, just to escape the embarrassment.

happens..

another couple of 'incidents'..

1. not biking related but still... happened when i was a 4 yr old.. we were at a wedding and guess i was making a racket inside so my parents decided to let me sit in the car and do my usual "whirrr vrooom vroom honk honk" stuff so sent me out with an adult 'anna'.. this guy leaves me in the car and was chatting with someone.. and i end up shifting to neutral and push the clutch (yes i did after going 'underground' sliding all the way from the seat) and the car started rolling forward , luckily for me another car driver spotted this and rushed to my rescue !! It seems i was least bothered and enjoying myself... from the account as narrated by my parents

2. EPIC one i should say.. this is what my dad did during his youth (as narrated by my grandma and some relatives)... my dad had taken someone's bike a bullet for one of those 'ride it like you stole it' rides... and guess what.. he ended up crashing the bike in to one of those 'lakes' you have in villages... and then to 'escape'/hide etc.. had climbed up a tree then the elders come and convince him to get down.

Showed this thread to my friends & we had a great laugh reading it & as expected we had our own set of discussion on such incidents. One of those incidents 1) My friend was showing off some features of his new Herohonda (then) Hunk to his group & he told about the "gas reserve suspension" in Hunk, to this one of his friend replied "ab tire k sath is mein bhi hawa bharana padega kya?" (translation: so while filling air in the tire you have to fill it in the suspension also?). 2) A guy went to the TVS showroom with his Dad to check out the RTR 160 the showroom guy showed them the bike & told " This one has rear disc brake & you have to pay 2500 more than the non disc brake model" to this the guy's dad became furious & said with anger " How can you sell bikes without brakes & charge extra for giving them!" The guy never got the RTR & the showroom guy never stopped his laughter!.. Will post more such incidents.

Bajaj has really screwed up the pre-80s dads so much, it still bothers them. ROFL!

And this time it was TVS! & please give some user review on Lal Ghoda along with its dealer network in India :-D

I am planning to write to HP regarding what's the "MAJIK" formula that they've incorporated into Laal Ghoda. Seriously! hehe. Oh and BTW, the brand of fork oil too.

Cheers!

Okay. If you guys go back a few threads, you might notice that the "LAAL GHODA" worked magic for the M80, coupled with fork oil. Today I got a chance to clear all the doubts you guys had, whether it was LAAL GHODA or Fork Oil. The answer!! FORK OIL! How?

Got hold of this, just today.

So "Long Live Your Engine Life With Every Drop of ***** FORK OIL"

We Indians rock! Zindabaad!
