Commute Timings:
Onward @Morning 0900 hrs
Return@Evening 1900 hrs
Commute Highlights/Concerns:
Traffic build up at Sarjapur flyover, Bellandur, Kadubeesanhalli, Marthahalli Bridge, ISRO U-turn, and finally flyover construction at Soul Space Arena mall.
Peculiarity- traffic seldom stops- keeps crawling @5-10KMPH
Other concerns:
1. There are 3 underpass on this route- Kadubeesanahalli, Marthahalli, Karthik nagar railway underpass- and 1st and 3rd underpass have been flooded whenever it poured.
2. Metro has been sanctioned from Silk Board to Marthahalli- which means bottlenecks throughout my route for years once that project starts.
Currently commuter: Activa:13 years old. 34K kms.
Why want to get commuter:
1. My Activa has no proper documentation- either insurance and it's registered in another state.
2. Wife wants to use it for petty grocery runs/school pickup/drop of kid etc. With me taking the scooter, she feels handicapped.
Other points:
1. I don't want to go far from my home/office for servicing.
2. I won't be able to give much time to this vehicle - it should NOT be maintenance seeking bike/scooter
3. Indoor basement parking in home and office.
If I were to make a wish- I want a bike that will tolerate crawling traffic, gain good speed when roads clear up, happily soak all bumps/potholes/undulations, ready for offroad as metro construction starts and underpasses gets clogged with drain water. Handling has to be 5-Star as I slip between the gaps on the road between larger/slow vehicles.
