A Sunday afteroon , not the time to be at home . Called Mrugesh , Vasanth ,Praveenkm to find out if they would be interested to join me to hesarghatta. Got a red flag from all of them. so My cam , bike and me were on the move. Left home, then headed to Bel circle , bad roads here. Then reached T Dasarahalli , where u need to take diversion to the right for HesarGhatta .From there on to my surprise, The road's been tarred , first time in so many years i could do three figures on this road , else previously always would be only 60-70kmph with odd tar road here and there.nice few sweeping curves also , This bike loves the curves. Reached Hesarghatta , its 32kms from home. A typical green view welcomed me , im more than happy coming here again and again , the land looks like savannah( - the tall grass). There are 2 resorts here , Taj Kuteeram and Our Native Village. And Nrityagram (dance institute) and a Film institute. There are no Roads from the entrance the Greenery that welcomes u...

Yamaha YZF-R15( My First Small SuperBike)

Vasanth on the R15 Yamaha India's latest offering is the yzf r15, a 150 cc liquid cooled , 6 speed transmission , dual discs , r1 styling , monoshock at the rear , digital speedometer and all that gadgets. Previously owned a pulsar 180 dts-i 04 model ,had been 4 years since i was riding the same thing , was more than satisfied with it ,did over a lac of kms as a student , but needed a change now , so was looking for a new bike , what options was i left with ? zma/thunderbird/rtr fi/220/r15/fz150 These were the options that i had to choose between. Zma and 220 were a no no to me , i love the zma , but wouldn buy a 5 year old bike which would be phased out anytime.plus compared to my old bike , i wouldn gain on power , would just be a refinement and handling upgrade. 220 ---i dint find it special , plus lacks something as refinement.its a straight line rocket. rest naaaaaaaaa... thunderbird - would be a new segment , but for i wanted to get rid of the vibes thing , been with vibes fo...

220 vs ZMA

Its the battle of the king vs the queen . so many ppl have given their opinions , reviews and comments on the same topic before.So here's my take on it. Its actually not a shoot out , but its the pros n cons or why you should and should not buy the bike. im familiar with both the bikes as in to have ridden for over a period of time. both the bikes are "premium products" thats what they call it. lets hit the road -- The zma is the elegant beauty that u can find on the road . its five years old now , still does manage to grab attention of ppl once it goes past them .until its approaching you , you dont know that its comin ,its that quiet. from the last 5 years there havent been any performance upgrades on this bike. does it really need any ? i think yes , needs a fuel injection system to get its fuel efficiency up . the rest is no pblmo... its the boss of plastic bikes on the highway. can ride all day long on it , how many ever kms , any road conditions or even no road and...

Safe Riding and Touring Exercise Workshop

Hi Fellow riders, As we all know, riding is more like music and no body is perfect in this art. As a part of our ongoing effort to improve ourselves, a few like minded friends met on Saturday evening over "1/2 kaapi" and discussed ways to improve ourselves. All of us were of a single opinion that we needed to improve and improve for better with a proper "Guru" to train us. We were able to locate a trained "Safety Rider" who was trained by instructors from Japanese riding schools. He has volunteered to help us out in our endeavour to improve our selves. We were excited to hear the same from him. This 3-4 hour program is tentatively scheduled to be held in Bangalore in the second or third week end of Jan'08. A nominal fee of Rs. One hundred has been fixed for each trainee and the session is limited for a few.It's a corporate sponsored program by one of the bike manufacturers for safety awareness and learning riding techniques like panic braking, effe...
