Where I make calls from ;-)

What does your hand say?

MH trip A 9 day trip to the Shivaji land was on my mind. Applied leaves 2 months in advance. Leaves got confirmed and I had to get things ready for the ride. Got a service done and an oil change , had purchased new set of tires before the ride .It cost me 2900 rs and I found it in Mysore .There is a lot of demand for those special tires. A week before the ride, I had a huge swelling in my eye, It was a sty, An infection. I just hoped that it doesn’t ruin my holiday. Went to the eye specialist and was told that I should recover in like 3-5 days. 2 days before take off The swelling still persists… 1 day before take off... Take leave to go to the Doctor. The doctor says its all clear and gives me a green signal. There was nothing in the bike that needed attention; the bike is so damn reliable. Got a few puncture sticks and I was ready to go. Dumped clothes into the saddle bags that I had borrowed from Akhil. I was unsure as to how it would behave on my bike as its highly aero sensitive. D...

Hello, Im back on my blog after a long long time , had taken time off for myself , bored of forums now , thought i ll put up a review my experience with my sports tourer . Am i happy with the bike still ? A definite yes , The views are same as my 11 months report , will keep it short by telling you things that i haven told before. Had to change the rear disc pads at 16500kms , it cost about 1115 INR oly. Changed the spark plug to NGK platinum CR8EGP - Rs 140. Air filter at 17000kms- Rs 237 Need to change the oil filter sometime soon. I have been hunting for the tires for the last 4 months , and it has been a pain. MRF is on strike and this tire size and pattern is made only for this particular bike only. Searched in Hyd, Chennai, Salem , Blr to no luck. Thanks to shreyas , i managed to find a set of tires in mysore. Bangalore wheels had a rear tire and they quoted me 3000rs , its like buying in black. Denied their generous offer and headed to mysore to get my tire . 1100 front and 1800...

Bajaj Pulsar 220 dts-I – Can we call it fastest Indian ? We had a meet on Diwali to test ride the new 09 220 dts-i. We also had an earlier version of the same bike from bajaj to do a comparo. Here what we feel about the bike. Bike-bajaj pulsar 220 dts-i (2009) Key features-21 ps , air cooled , secondary oil cooled. 2 valve, carburetted, dual discs. It was after a long time that I really got my hands on a pulsar, this time on the fastest pulsar till date? Headed out to NICE road, all geared up. I start the bike and I’m welcomed with the “typical” pulsar sound. I take it easy initially to get familiar with the bike. The seating position is pretty comfortable for even a tall person. The split handle bars are comfortable, I was wearing knee guards and dint have a problem with it touching the tank. I slot it into first gear and off I go. The torque is very evident from the word go , and can be felt in any gear at almost any RPM .It pulls effortlessly from as low as 2000rpm even on a little ...
