Moto Torque "the launcher"

If your looking to boost your torque, this is the thing for you! I tried it out quiet skeptically and was pleasantly surprised enough to keep it on! The Bikes BHP goes up by about 3 with negligible impact on milage. However it works best with K&Ns. Which makes me look forward for the next upgrade ;)

Time Travel

As you would have figured from the name of my blog, in not much of a pack rider. But every once in a while i love sharing a ride with a biker who loves to ride as much as i do! So when a 1973 Ideal Jawa and a 2015 KTM RC200 hit the streets together, i could tell by the stares and turned heads that it was quite a unique sight!
A timeless classic and a futuristic mean machine, with 42 years of motorcycling legacy between them, cruising along the curves and bends of Lanco Hills.
The ride made me think about how the machine i so love has evolved over generations. And how some species refuse to go extinct!

Campanionship

Over the years my bikes have kept me going, in more ways than one. They have been companions that have never let me down, they have carried me home on days I couldn't carry myself, we have spent amazing moments conquering bends on highways, hills, valleys, rocks and rivers. We have taken tumbles together, gotten up together and moved on together. We have spent so much time together on the highways, and in the garage. We have grown older together, raced together, tried to catch the sunset and outran the rain. Human companionship is fickle, but a bike is always there with you till the very end.

Some Reminiscing...

While on this ride called "life," you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change. Things go wrong. Just remember, the ride goes on.

Beauty or beast

The most amazing part of every weekday for me is the ride to work, and i often start earlier than required to take a detour and have not yet been succesful in identifying the longest possible route from home to office. But, before i start, there is always a choice to make. The toughest choice of them all, which one will it be, Bullet ot Jawa?
