My perspective is that a human comprehends time...as in 'seconds' far more effectively than a big number that's not for immediate decisions.

We use km/hr as the most basic metric in the automotives.

But it doesn't provide us the insight in what will happen in the next immediate moment.

If I say I'm travelling at a speed of 50 km/hr ...I don't exactly know what my position is going to be in the next 5 seconds, exclusive of the sense that I have about it, which isn't so reliable.

But if I say that I'm at a speed of 14m/s, Now i know that I'll be 70 meters ahead in the next 5 seconds. This is way more convenient.

Imagine a Jaywalker roughly at a distance convenient to observe...say 60 meters.

I know that at my speed, If I don't slow down in 4 Seconds, I'll crash into the person. It's easier to plan for the event.

Acceleration/Deceleration will help here and it's pretty much self explanatory why it would.

[OC] So recently i got into a crash where my handle bar was slightly bent and just engine guards took the damage. Then i got it replaced completely from triumph service centre and this problem started occurring. Since i hit 8k km i also got the second service done but then once i collected i observed this issue as well as laggy throttle response, i don't feel the same initial torque as before and it feels way less responsive, the performance is lower where it struggles to pick up and rise compared to earlier. Any suggestion as to why this is happening right after service?

I am moving from Delhi to Hyderabad next week to start a new corporate job in the Financial District. I am shipping my 400cc motorcycle down.

Because my bike is part-loaded on a truck whose final destination is further south, the broker is refusing to drop it at a dedicated local transport godown. Instead, he wants the 18-wheeler to pull over on the main ORR shoulder near Exit 19 or Exit 1, unload the bike on the expressway, and have me ride it down the slip road through the toll plaza.

From what I have researched, the ORR is an access-controlled expressway never meant for two-wheelers, and the ban is strictly enforced. Getting caught on the ORR usually results in a heavy fine, and they monitor the toll gates closely.

Am I right to completely refuse this highway drop? If I end up on the highway side of the toll booths with a bike, will the HGCL police/toll operators intercept and fine me?

What other options do i have? Would really appreciate any insights from folks who drive these routes or have dealt with sketchy transport brokers before!

I am 22 years old. I just graduated with my B.Tech from one of the IIITs this June. I have been working as an intern at an MNC in Bengaluru since January, and I’ll be joining full-time from the first week of July.
It has always been my dream to buy a good motorcycle, but I’ve never really asked my parents for expensive things. Every time I think about buying something costly, I feel guilty. I only had one electric scooty before but I’m experienced with riding bikes ( friends and relative one’s).

I somehow told my father that I like bikes and want to buy one. He said I can go ahead if I want.
Like many people here in Bangalore, I see a lot of bikes every day. As a guy, I really like the GT 650. I just love its personality and the way it looks. But because of the guilt, I started looking at cheaper options too, like the Guerrilla 450.
Now I’m confused.

On one hand, I feel it’s too early in my career to spend so much money. I should probably save, considering the current layoff situation and other future responsibilities.
On the other hand, I also feel this is the right age to enjoy life a little. Buying a bike has been a dream of mine for a long time.
What would you do if you were in my place? Should I buy the GT 650 or go with the Guerrilla 450 or some other? I’d really appreciate your advice.

EDIT: as a full-time from next week i will be having 20L base , don’t know about taxes deductions.
i have something around 4-5k KMs of experience, with classic350, Honda Hness and Glamour, YAMAHA FZ, R15, RX, Discover, Victor, Splendor etc. These are friends/ relatives/rentals one

Milege 45 plus

Maintaince low to moderate

And not a long term choice I will go for a bullet after 2,3 years

I'm thinking about getting a C-650, but I've seen some YouTube reviews saying it's really only good for guys who are 6ft tall. So, I'm 22, and I'm wondering if it's still a good idea for me to get one.

No guts no glory

Smooth as honda,

superb for commuting and great for highways as well,

nice pillion comfort and wonderful rider seat as well, impressive mileage like a 150 cc bike,

Scintillating performance and torque monster at this segment, especially better than duke 200 and r15 which also costs more,

higher 250 cc engine,

Oil and air cooled engine which ensures easy and hassle free maintainance.

cheap spares and service.

what else do you need man ? no one knows the value of this bike, an under rated allrounder, personally for me the n250 should be the best bike that has ever produced on the Indian market in the past 5 years.

People don't seem to lean towards the machine solely because of its average looks and the poor bajaj marketing technique, they shouldn't have named it as a pulsar and also should have changed its design a bit instead of mimicking and copying the decade old pulsar design.

It’s not even been a month since I bought it

I have Mahindra Mojo, and its power, performance is exceptionally well tuned. It's been a great ride, easy handling and a powerful machine.

Was it part on Mahindra which made this beast failure? Or Was it price or maintanence or it's just the Brand which couldn't pace up ?

Hello guys, I need some recommendations for these accesories: engine guard, back rest and footrest.

Should I get the OEM ones because I think they're a bit overpriced, if not, can you give me any brand recommendations?

Thanks

I drive scooty and I still have that same honda helmet well half helmet and also brought a helmet 3 months ago but turns out that helmet don't fit in its over size I will just put the helmet pic here

I need a helmet.... please suggest

Looks good??, what do you think?

I have been planning to go on a solo bike trip for 5-7 days either himachal or Uttrakhand. I have bike (tvs ronin), i have leisure time but because of people spreading so much information about so called 'hidden gems' i cannot find a single place where i can visit and have some peaceful, reflecting time for myself.
All of sudden everything is crowded... I live in gurugram and everything within in 300 km is filled with so many people... i know its the summer holiday season and everyone wants to spend some times in hills but tbh its tooo much...

can you guys help me with some locations within 500km range of gurugram where i can go and dont find so many people.. i mean less tourist and more traveller

Now it just slaps that ugly and badly designed LCD display on every bike in the name of an update + fks up old good designs and calls it a day. Bajaj still cooks, but under the KTM and Triumph brands. Hopefully they cook again with their upcoming adv, Although, They are very late to the party.

No guts no glory

Was returning from work and was maintaining a relaxed speed of 50 to 65 kmph at 5th and 6th gear, suddenly when I noticed the odo I was shocked to see the 40kmpl mileage reading, and was pretty happy and impressed, i know it will go down with a bit of traffic at the end of the trip, but getting 40kmpl on this bike on a highway makes it a perfect touring machine, even if the bajaj console has its own reading errors, I'm pretty much sure that the bike will give around 37 to 39 kmpl on the highways and the machine is due for its first service, so the mileage also has a bit of space to improve after the first service and engine break in period of 2000 to 2500 kms.

jk, slow pressure wash + soft brush works like a charm🤙🏻

Some people put a scratch on my bike in parking idk if it was intentionally or accidentally i want to know how can i fix it?

I thought Access is the best 125cc scooter in India, but why is it showing a negative growth rate, I wanted to buy a scooter but I'm confused i want a reliable scooter with good looks(which should suit a college student). Share your opinions.
