"Man rides for 221 km without holding the handlebar to set World Record"

Wondering how that is possible What did he do? throttle lock? and didnt he stop at a signal and had to accelerate again?

Some more. 221 kms in 3 hrs mean an avg of over 70kmph. This is done on a Discover (xxx cc).

Guess so, he must have had throttle lock, . . It's not so impossible, one of the friend whom I know, rode the entire chamundi hill from top to bottom without holding his hand, just controlling with rear brake and no acceleration though. . .

Cheers!!!

I agree, on February 26th I rode my bicycle for kilometers without touching the handlebar.

An MP and His Bullet are Parted for Parliament

Few things make Babul Supriyo as happy as riding his Enfield Bullet.

Unfortunately for him, he won't be zipping into Parliament on his bike. The 44-year-old first time BJP MP from Bengal has been told by Parliament officials that motorcycles are not permitted

"I would have loved to actually driven my bike which was a gift after I became an MP," said Mr Supriyo, who took the new bike out for a spin last night.

Mr Supriyo, a famous playback singer who has worked in Bollywood and crafted hits in Oriya and Bengali films, represents West Bengal's Asanol constituency in Parliament.

Re: Random News Thread From India!

Some homologation stuff going on, not exactly news but I can't find any other place:


1) Hyosung GD250N imported into India for homologation on the 11th of August, 2014



2) Kawasaki ER-6N and Z250 imported into India for homologation on the 26th of February, 2014 (should be done by now I think, when do they go on sale?)
