Yes you have. Not only in the lingo! You talk of rules of the road. Caps lock is not allowed as per xbhp rules.

By this long post I just meant – We all are breaking the rule of overspeeding daily inside city (once or twice atleast). I dont know why you took it too personal and started using your big mouth.

As per the above post, you have broken the rule by doing the saddlesore.. Clear your mind first and get the facts.

Your comment that majority of riders in India are posers!! And you are exceptional.. Is appreciated!

Let me also tell you that you endangered the lives of many by attempting a saddlesore on an Indian road.

Please refrain yourself from passing comments on the general public of our country. Some people like me do get hurt. You are not the one to decide who deserves a luna.

Here is the link which informs what the rule says about maximum speed limit in India (on the national highways) 'its 50km/hr for motorcycles' and no speed limit for cars and that is defined statewise. State rules 'inside city' may vary.

Chill down guys. 2 senior members blasting nuts off one another doesn't give a good impression on either of you..

Muztariq, the legal speed limit on BLR airport road for bikes is 50 kmph and 80 for cars.

Even I thought that but the conversation that dishayu had with the cops there told a different story! The cops think its 80 for the bikes too ;-)

Well, it was a different story for me and few friends on a ride to nandi hills. We (4 guys on 3 bikes) were doing 80 odd when cops pulled over the last biker (on a ZMA). He was fined for doing 78 kmph as per their speed gun. We tried arguing over the 80 kmph thingy, but they clearly showed us a board depicting 80 with a car symbol. They said its only for cars and bikes must be ridden at 50 kmph. I know that's insane, but....

@ divya sharan, Out of respect for you, I deleted my response Time for me to go out and enjoy my birthday eve

Arrey bhai, such big words!!!

B'day eve? Happy b'day in advance. Have a good one bro.

Big words for people who deserve big words buddy Thanks for your wishes

Happy B'Day.. May you complete many saddlesores in future. Now dont take this personal!! I was thinking what to wish, thhis appeared appropriate.

No sarcasm intended!

Thanks buddy I too wish you many happy and safe rides

Really don't want to be sarcastic to you; I neither have did or attempted or will never attempt for a saddlesore in India, don't know how you're confused on this

You want facts, pls go through this - Driving Speed,Speed Limit in India,Speed While Driving

Will get you the link from the MV, pls wait...

Well, I don't understand why we have to argue over this. The speed limit for a motorcycle on Indian highways are 50 kmph and we are breaking the law if we go over that limit. Keeping that in mind we may actually use our discretion to decide when and how we can use the power of our bikes. Do not cross the ceiling in city limits and at crowded places. Still we are breaking the law when going over 50 kmph. Our speed limits have to be raised by the MV authorities. I think these ceilings are proposed based on decades old machines and tech. Times have changed and so have the capabilities, techniques and safety features. Doing a decent 80-90 on a four lane highway is safe IMHO.

But, the crime committed by those 14 kids were nothing but 'racing' on an open road, presumably in city limits or near living quarters, and being nuisance to people nearby. That said, everyone doesn't have the opportunity to go to a closed circuit course, right?

I was just referring to your post to experimentalhead and telling him that speed limit for Motorcycle is 50 km/hr on Highway.. I was not saying that aargee did saddlesore or even attempted it! Again, I didnt asked you to clear your facts.. but was actually telling experimental head to read your post and clear his facts.

I am not getting it, why you think I am confused on this.. I have already provided the link of allowed speed limits in India and also mentioned that statewise speed limits can vary from that. If you want another reference to it, here it is -


Well. my humble opinion is -
1)We all are breaking the rule (knowingly/unknowingly)
2)Every present machine on the road has the capability of breaking the rule as 50 km/hr is achieved in the 3rd gear on most of the machines and to cruise effortlessly (and increase mileage) we cruise at 60-80 km/hr on most of the machines and break the rule.
3)If IBA does not allow rides if one has crossed the country's legal speed limit.. then there is no IBA ride that may be allowed in India
4)I am not a lawyer, but there is enough material (proof) of people having crossed the speed limit of the country. One can be easily prosecuted with that data. The IBA log sheets, the fuel receipts, the photographs are all there And Youtube is filled with 0-100 km/hr videos of every marketed bike!

My post on this thread just reflected my point of view that I am no other than those 14 guys and breaking the rule of the land every day.

Though I am not racing. Which is defined like this as per the Motor Vehicles Act 1988
"Whoever without the written consent of the State Government permits or takes part in a race or trial of speed of any kind between motor vehicles in any public place shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one month, or with a fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both." Source - http://www.vakilno1.com/bareacts/mot...rials_of_speed
But I am definitely overspeeding (I live on a connecting Highway and to overtake people going at 60 km/hr on the left lane I have to increase speeds in access of 80km/hr to do it correctly/safely as cars on the other lane are doing 100 km/hr. If I were to follow the rules and ride consistently at 50, why I bought this bike my 97 cc splendor was more than sufficient!)

We all are, we all are...all of us are!!

It is frigging crazy & idiocratic idea to restrict the speed of motorcycles, or even a truck/bus like Volvo, Merc. If the COVERment is serious, then they've to ban production or import motorcycles that exceeds 50 Kmph on road. It is really doesn't make sense (or even BS) to say, "yes, you can import Hayabusa, Gixxer or R1, but, you should not ride more then 50 Kmph" Instead of fixing the root of the issue, the ridiculous people are shredding the leaves with shaving razor!!!

having a racetrack accessible for normal people would definitely be a great thing, if you see now a days like europeans even southeast asian countries are massively inclining towards the concept of a weekend trackday. the love for speed naturally lingers in our country also but nobody acknowledged it and these poor guys give in to the temptation of speeding in public roads.
but in Indian roads it is not like if the rider is very expert, he will be able to go fast as he wishes, I would say in bangalore what I felt
1. road condition like sudden speedbreakers, gravel patches, uneven road construction, potholes like pakistan did some bombardment
2. suicidal pedastrians looking nowhere but simply crossing the roads
3. cab drivers having no regard for any other kind of vehicles on the road (even if they hit you, these guys will gang up on you and screw you up)
4. some female drivers on their husband's cars who have no idea where the front or rear of their car is (one hit me trying to park her car when I was stationary in front of a shop another hit my friend and dragged him along for some distance thinking the accelerator pedal as break )

If I am taking the risk to going fast on the road, it is actually increased tenfold then what it seems.
Ride safe dudes, dont give people who are jealous of you chance to be happy. Dont mean to offend anyone but its just my opinion from experience

The only thing that bugs me is that people regard the biker in the same way as these 14 idiots
