    I keep 22-32 psi as recommended by RE. I feel it's okay for me, even when I ride solo or with my wife.

          Today, I had more of a errand commute than a ride . It is a completely different thing when riding with pillion. The ride felt different, so I got the air pressure checked and filled 22-32. Though the ride improved, the clutch and acceleration combination changes a lot when starting off from a complete stop. Also, it is really no fun to ride in massive traffic jams or slow moving traffic. Nice, open roads and moving traffic is what suits Moksha best. Add to it the night and dirt and pollution, and you won't enjoy your ride at all. I must also have stopped 4-5 times because of leaving the clutch at the wrong time in traffic.

          Lot of time on the road, but hardly any kms covered.

          It's hardly rained for a couple of weeks now. Expecting one big Mumbai rain blast in September. Waiting for monsoon to end so that can rip off that ugly plastic cover from the handlebar and diesel wash all that anti-rust solution off.

          Odometer reads 727 kms today.




          Congrats buddy! Kindly requesting you to post this in the TB 500 or general TB or RE thread. This particular thread, as you can see, has been created by me specifically for my own ownership experience. You can always ask me something specific to my experience with my TB here, but otherwise general queries should be put in the general threads. You will also get more replies!

          Meanwhile, I can understand your frustration! I wouldn't like it at all too. They possibly have only your TB 500 - Stone, that is why it is on display. Have you requested them to keep it in storage? Try that, they should have their own display and trial bikes usually. And don't worry about cleaning, they will clean before delivery.
          Thank you so much brother... i will call them and tell them to keep it in storage immediately.

                Hello All,
                I finally got by TBTS 350 delivered yesterday from the RE brand showroom in Bangalore.
                It has been a frustrating and exciting 9 months of waiting from Dec 2012
                But when I saw my bike wating in delivery area, all that frustration literally flew away
                Have to get the crash guard fitted over the weekend. Owning an RE gets the best attention from family and neighbours... makes me look like a superstar
                But almost everyone asks the same common question: "Kitna deti hai??" and this really pisses me off!!! When you are buying an RE, you are buying it with your heart... not with your head
                Here is an initial pic from the showroom. More will follow later...
