December 2015 | I don’t like the Yamaha RX100. Never have. Yes, it was an impressive motorcycle and a huge success for the brand but it just doesn’t click for me. Maybe because I have a tendency to contradict with the masses or maybe because the masses were so overwhelmed by the RX100 that they […]
Motorcyclists and car drivers don’t really see each other eye to eye, no matter what country you talk about. As a motorcyclist, you feel that the car drivers have no regard for you and ignore your presence on the road while in a car, you see the motorcyclists as reckless and irresponsible. Part of the […]
“An eight lac rupee motorcycle and it hasn’t got upside down forks!!!” is one of the first things you will hear when you tell someone how nice Honda CBR 650F is. Honestly it is one of the nicest and most welcoming big bikes you can buy in India today and yet, the lack of upside […]
The story of Tesla is nothing short of an epic startup journey. A visionary entrepreneur, a new approach in a conventional industry, a technologically advanced product, an even bigger promise of the future and you have a story that will be told for decades if not centuries.

Technology is a beautiful thing. From F1 cars to road vehicles, it has made them safer and faster at the same time. The same story continues for motorcycles.

Yes this piece of text will eventually end up […]
Unless you are extremely anti-social and live under a rock in a remote area, it is likely that you have got friends. And if you love motorcycles, it is likely that you have friends that share the love with you. One such friend showed up at my home one morning with a Honda CBR 650F […]
While I have been riding motorcycles long before it was legal for me to ride, my first motorcycle which I actively used to ride was a Yamaha. A small (not so much) 125cc machine called Yamaha Gladiator. I have crashed it, wheelied it, crashed it again, modded it, ridden it recklessly and it still continues […]
Even before the first post by the Royal Enfield CEO Siddhartha Lal went up on the TOI website, the Royal Enfield Himalayan was breaking the internet. Too many automobile blogs were writing about the motorcycle publishing whatever they knew about the upcoming Royal Enfield. As far as I can figure out, nobody seemed to know […]
There is no denying the fact that our roads are full of idiots. Half of them step out with the lack of will to live and the other half with the lack of skill to ride. Thankfully I stay a bit outside the borders of Delhi which means the traffic isn’t as bad as the […]
