My RE 350cc

Long time No see

2013-08-28T12:42:00.000-07:00

Its been long since my last post..... my RE350 needs a service, need to change her electricals and oil change among other things.

Havent gone for a long ride since long..... would love to go on a long ride with my wife very soon....

saw a nice movie Bhag Milkha Bhag, a movie about Milkha Singh. started following Usain Bolt after watching that movie. He ran really well in the IAAF CHampionship at Moscow.

3 golds on this event.

I think the best is yet to come from Usain, he has kept it for the Rio Olympic at Brazil.

keep injury away would be the key.

Racing with RD350.

2013-01-26T01:50:00.002-08:00

The other day i did a Vasai-Dadar Siddhiviniyak Temple - Matunga Kocchu Guruvayur Ambalam - Kalwa Ayyappa Temple - vasai via ghodbunder road with my wifey and ?? and who else my babyy...... Bullet 350.

A total of 54 + 5 + 27 + 40 = 136 KM's... WOW!!!! Aint that amazing!!!

while returning from Kalwa - vasai, we came across a RD350 trying to race with us. At around Majiwada circle the RD350 came close to us trying to race with us in a moving traffic making way through all possible gaps between rest of the vehicles. And it caught my attention hearing that typical sound of a RD350. I always liked this motorcycle for its sound and the speed it attains. some say it can attain a speed upto 165KMPH and 0-100 KMPH in 7 seconds. And all these statistic in the 1980 decade was a huge thing in india. I remember it had a name "Rajdoot" written in its Long Fuel Tank and "Torque Induction" in the side tool box. It was the first performance motorcycle for india. It actually is a Yahama make byke but sold in inda in the name of Rajdoot with some modification done to increase milage and reduce power( from 40 BHP to 31 BHP ).

So we did a considerable amount of racing in midst of traffic, surely the one who has good control and handling of their motorcycle will be leading and hence i was leading as i had good control and handling of my baby. But where ever there was a stretch of open space RD350 would vrooomm past me and i use to catch up again at next traffic signal.

Finally there came a turn where the RD350 had to leave the race and i had to take my ride forward towards the ghodbunder road. That racing through that small stretch of highway in thane was like my baby bullet350 is communicating with RD 350. It was awesome feeling. Loved it.

Also shared told my wifey what RD350 was and that i am going to buy one some day.

Few pics from that trip and also a RD350 pic from the web.

By the way, just a thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't a RD350 make and awesome Cafe Racer?? i think it has all the power and looks needed to be a Cafe Racer.

Anyways enjoy the pic.

By the way a RD350 would make an awesome Cafe Racer.

Reverse Brake and Clutch Levers that connect to the end of the handlebar

2012-11-24T07:20:00.003-08:00

Saw a movie named DUMA. Its a nice movie about a wild animal cheetah named DUMA, a boy and his father. Apart from the movie being nice, one thing that caught my attention was the motorcycle used in the movie.

It was a BMW old motorcycle. And the thing i liked most about it was its handlebar had reverse brakes and clutch levers. I found this very interesting and would like to have them fitted in my Royal Enfield.

Not sure about how good is it to use. Have to start my hunt to check if i can find it somewhere in Mumbai or on the web.

Found a site that sells such products for BMW old models http://www.blitzbikes.com

Have emailed them with a query and a premission to upload a pic from their site with the reverse brake and clutch.

Found one image from the link http://artchoppers.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Not displaying the pic yet, have emailed the blogger to approve using that image in my blog post. looking forward to it.

For time being, art my VJ

2012-11-14T22:40:00.001-08:00

Its none other than my Royal Enfield.

I am thinking of a paint job for some time now.

And this combination in particular has caught my attention.

RED and BLACK.

Thats would go real awesome on my baby!!

It will be a long way before it actually happens, but an upload after the paint job is for sure.

Looking forward to it!!!!

What is a Cafe Racer??

2012-10-04T12:24:00.000-07:00

Well, a Cafe Racer..... hmmm. Sounds really a good name.

Its vintage, and its retro and trendy.

It has got some history which i am going to mention later in the post. A motorcycle with a long fuel tank, a single seater, a clip ons low rise handle bars.

In the 60's there was this "Ace Cafe" which was one of the places in london where you would race from one cafe to another these motorcycles became cafe racers.

solo seat,
nice tank you can lay on upon your chest and

taking a standard motorcycles and take off as mmuch metals from it to make it lighter , may be adding a bit more power,

the frames sitting higher off the ground, the pipes are higher off the ground, so you can lean her over on the turns,

the grips on the handle bars have to be lower than the tanks , you just want that motorcycle to be part of you, thats a cafe racer.

where people would come on their Motorcycles and bet would be on to visit the next cafe before the music on the juke box is finished.

An unsuccessful trip to malshej ghat

2012-09-23T03:33:00.002-07:00

I was planning for a trip to the malshej ghat for a long time. And it happened not out of any plan. love it when things do not happen as per plans and we do things just instantly. Just as this happened. i had a weekly off and i asked my brother (Vinod) if we can go for a trip to malsjeh, yes was the answer and we were off to the trip to malshej. It was a bit late for such a trip, we started at 12 in the noon. with a drizzle of rain we started our journey. it was a usual ride from home till the highway, loved the stretch from chinchoti to bhiwandi. Nice lush green picturesque location and nice roads above all. not much vehicle seen on this strecth which makes it even better for cruising. Take a left corner of the road and go along.

Next up was bhiwandi, it is famous for cotton handloom industries. its a small town. not well managed, typical indian town with bad roads and with the monsoon season it makes it even worse. but still its not a long drive till you reach kalyan city. and further more take a left to murbad. that is the road that takes you to malshej ghat.

We went on to that highway NH222. it was amazing feeling of freedom. It makes you forget all your worries. Every one needs to have that feeling out of your daily life. Well then as we kept on going, out of no where the most un expected thing happened. We had a flat tyre. A biker is always ready for such things to happen. And i was excited that it happened, but my brother was not. He started getting frustrated and annoyed. I told him such things happens and we have to enjoy this. We are stuck on a not so crowded highway. with 8-10 vehicles passing by every minute. Thats just an estimate to show how busy that place was. So next thing in my mind was to calm down vinod which i succeed in doing and even he started enjoying with what we were going through. Well what we were going through was burn lots of calories on the way through NH222. turn by turn. Vinod had a kinda funnily dressed for a country side place. he was wearing a shorts with bright colors and a printed T-Shirt and a nike ankle lenght boots and a elastic goggles used as a hair band. Well if he had weared those goggles on his eyes, definetely he would have been the eye candy. We managed to reach a tyre puncture place afer about 1 KM of walk... But to our dismay, the owner of the tyre repair shop just left for a namaz prayer. we enquired to local people we manage to find on the way about the next tyre puncture shop and it was one more KM away. We decided to keep the motorcycle there and walk or get a lift to the next tyre puncture shop.

We started off with a hope that we will get a lift from some one. We made many attempt to get a lift, but unsuccessfull. finally got one from a truck. he dropped us to the destination. he charged us 10 bucks, which under the circumstances was too less. but he was happy to charge us 10 bucks. i had 400 and some 20-30 rupees change in my wallet. and i wanted to make sure i have enough money cause i was not sure what was coming from the tyre puncture shop for fixing the tyre.

Well there he was, the tyre shopkeeper (Abdul) agreed to help us after we explained him our situation. We had few country side people surrounding us. To listen to our story and to give some of their feedback. Loved that attitude people have. Always wanted to help people. So Abdul and me set off to the place we had parked our motorcycle with his toolkits. while vinod decided to stay at the shop and talk to the local people puffing a cigrette.

we reached the location, i was delighted to see the motorcycle safely parked as it was left. we removed the rear tyre and went back to the shop to fix it. Me and abdul did the Damage Analysis, there was a nail pearsed into the tyre and entered the tube and a major damage was that there was a crack on the mac wheel and it was bend. I was badly hoping that the fix should be enough to reach us till the city kalyan atleast. Abdul said we need to replace the tube as it had many fixes and he said it would be really risky to go double seat on it. Another major concern for me was the cost of the tube, i just had 400 bucks with me. and replacing the tube and Abdul's labour charge should not exceed 400 rupees. and when he said about the final amount it was 410 rupees. 360 for the tube and 50 rupees for labour. Good that we were not short of money, otherwise i would have got angry on vinod for not allowing me to go to an ATM to get cash. Anyways all's well that ends well. Me and Abdul went back to the place where we had parked the motorcycle after replacing the tube. Tyre was fixed and i kickstarted and off we went to pick vinod from the shop. Abdul advised to ride slow between 40-50 KMPH and aviod riding through the rough roads.

We started the return journey, there was no way we could have thought of going to malshej since we were in a risk of damaging the mac wheel. with the damage of the mac wheel in our mind we were comng back home. but we enjoyed the ride. while coming back we decided to have some photo session and we took a halt to have some photos clicked. we did some photography parking the motorcycle besides the highway. While we were still doing some photography, heard a bullet sound. saw there was one bullet coming with 3 people sitting on it. we asked them if there was any bullet garage near by. That guy turned out to be a bullet mechanic himself and he said there wont be any problem going till vasai. Also he suggested us some good macwheel that may last till 10 years, the brand RADO mac wheels are very good he said. need to find these mac wheels in mumbai. May be i can get it at grant road.

Moving on with no money left in the pocket, kept on asking where the next ATM is. finally reached to the suburb of Kalyan city and managed to find a citi bank atm , withdraw some cash and went to have something to eat at the next dhaba. Thats how the unsuccessfull journey to malshej ends. Was a fun ride. But Malshej has to be invaded by me and my motorcycle. Not now but some where in the future and there will be a blog post for that.

This road takes you to the malshej........

The rider is Vinod. And myself Pillion. I know we should be wearing the helmet. Helmet was taken off for this photo.

Came across this eye candy building structure.. Is a temple from the looks of it.....

Motorcycle was riding us till it had a flat tyre and i had to ride her till the next tyre puncture shop.... was a good work out.... On NH222.

Vinod's turn to ride the motorcycle.....Vinod racing with a villager...

Thats a tired vinod after we reached the tyre puncture shop

After the tyre puncture fixed.

Yash Chopra's Untitled Movie starring Royal Enfield Motorcycles.

2012-08-26T04:55:00.000-07:00

And yet again, yes. Time and again. Royal Enfield motorcycles has managed to make special appearance in movie's. Right from the Hollywood to Bollywood and don't know how many numbers of so called WOOD's film industry that exists in the great country of India.

Here comes another movie starring the legendary motorcycle and rest of the other so called star's by the people of india like Shahrukh Khan, Anuskha Sharma and Katrina Kaif.

Enjoy the pics

Dear miss Anushka Sharma, Please don't ride a motorcycle with that expression on your face. Atleast put up a good face for the camera.

Both SRK and Anushka should buckle up the helmet. They have not locked the strap.

New cat pet.

2012-08-17T01:47:00.004-07:00

And she appears in front of my at the thump of my bullet.

This is about a cat in my building,
actually a stray cat, wanders around the building boundary.
stray, but still not beyond the building boundary.

He is different from other cats that are stray,
may be cause he is always pampered by all the residents of the building as far as i remember.
I remember seeing him for the first time as a small cat, not long time ago.
And now he is nice healthy grown up cat.

And the best thing about him is he is different than other cats,
you can see it in his attitude, his body language says that.
he would run after everybody around him, May be trying to communicate something.
He make every effort to get peoples attention.

Best thing i like about him is, he comes running at me listening to my bullet motorcycle thumping sound.
No matter where he is, as far as the sound of my bullet reaches, he will come running.

seems like he relates me with the thump of my bullet, whenever he hears that thump he may be wondering i am around.

He deserves a photo in this post, need to kick start for the thump that will pull him towards me for a nice photo.

Seabiscuit & Spirit - Stallion of Cimarron.

2012-08-07T13:39:00.000-07:00

Seabiscuit, you were always there. Top in the list.

It was meant for me to see it, thanks Zee Studio for showing it.

Story about a horse and a his jockey and how both were similar to each other and how both helped each other to overcome hurdles. Life becomes more beautiful after they both meet each other. story about what happens when the horse and the jockey comes into each others life. both are alike.

nice movie. worth making a post.

One more movie on horses i like was "The Spirit - Stallion of cimarron". story about a horse. shows his attitude, aggression, love and emotions shown really well. music by bryan adams songs are really good.

He is a horse in the group who protects his fellow brother under the sun. he loves his world, his jungle which is his home and all mates in the jungle. he would fight against all odds to protect each and every one from the lot of mates. He falls in love and gets caught by humans who are constructing railway lines. He could sense that these human being are going to trespassing into his jungle which is a danger to him and all his mates. He fights against them and fails the human in making the railway line construction. This movie shows all the emotions, expressions are awesome. Possible only cause of the animation.

must watch...

How i learned to replace accelerator cable for my STD bullet 350.

2012-07-29T08:20:00.002-07:00

I was on my way to meet my fiance on my bullet and the accelerator cable broke....... :-(

I guess it explains it all how does that feel.....

So me and Minu (My fiance) decided to see vicky donor in thane (Since Thane being the centre point for both of us, i am from vasai and Minu is frmo Ambernath) and she even wanted to meet my bullet. Ofcourse i was excited. i started off from home, got to the petrol pump to fill enough petrol that will last my return journey vasai-thane-vasai, that makes around 80KM's total. and just done with petrol and kick start and accelarate and the most unexpected thing happened. The accelerator cable broke :-(. Of all the time i was riding her, she never gave up on me and when i was in full excitment to meet my fiance and above all to show her to my fiance. That was the time when she gave up on me. On an emotional note and being a passionate RE Bullet follower, i knew the exact reason for why she gave up on me..... and i will reveal that in the later stage of the post.

i was desperate to fix that. it was sunday, called up my bullet mechanic but all my efforts in vain. Ofcourse it was sunday and that the day every garage is shut. i was all sweaty and frustrated and was so angry on my bullet. I had to make a decision either find a way to fix her or reach the destination by ST Bus cause i never wanted to reach late for movie at least in the begining of our relationship. i gave up and ST Bus was there for my rescue.

Called up Minu and updated her about the situation and she was just cool with what happened and i met her at the movie hall. we missed 5-10 minutes of movie start. she said me not to worry about being late and i was so relieved. And she still handles me well with my habit of getting late. As you know the truth cannot be hidden for a long time. And i enjoyed the movie and Minu's company for the rest of the time we were together.

So done with the movie and the date, now comes the question. HOW TO FIX THE ACCELERATOR CABLE???? Of course i need to replace it with a new cable and thats the best solution.

My first session started with removing the existing broken cable and make a note how to assemble it back once i get a new replacement cable. I did had some difficulty to understand how to get the cable off from the Carb.

Next, went to the auto spare part shop, got the cable. then started the second session with the bullet. and i screwed up big time in this session. i messed up with the carb piston. During replacing the throttle cable, one end goes inside the carb and another one ends at the accelerator. There is a piston inside the carb that controls the air and fuel mixture into the engine. so upon acceleration the piston moves up and down since it has a spring that stops the air/fuel flow when accelerator is rested.

The piston fits in the carb in a way and which i did not follow caused the piston to jam and it was not free flowing.

BRAKE TO BANTA HAI.... Rest after the break....

below link helped a bit with replacing the cable.

Visited Native place kerala 23rd Jan to 2nd Feb 2012. Nice pics

A performer at the carnival at our native place temple festival. performing the role of Shiva and his expressions were very intense showing anger, happiness and agression. it was a worth watching him perform. Enjoyed it a lot.

Motorcycles i want to see in front of me if not even able to ride

2012-01-22T03:32:00.003-08:00

i fascinate about the past models of motorcycles from Roal Enfields. I keep searching about them on the Web and read about them. But really if possible, there are some motorcycle models that i need to see in front of me and ride it if possible. Following are the models.

RE Interceptor.
RE Constellation.
RE Cafe Racer.

All these three models never made it to india after original company shifted base to chennai. it was bullet initially then came the Machismo, electra, thunderbird and now the various range of classics( 350, 500, chrome, desert storm ). In the Delhi Auto Expo 2012 they displayed the Thunderbird 500 and cafe racer.

But still these three models listed above are the once not launched in india, just seeing it on the web.

Images on the way...

In continuation to above wishlist, could you belive what i was close seeing one of the above models in front of me as an eye witness. Yes, i did see a Royal Enfield Motor Cycle modified to look like a Cafe Racer. I went to south mumbai on 13th Feb 2012 and at round grand round area there was this shop named grant selling motorcycle accessories. i stopped by and just as i parked my RE to enter the shop. This Eye candy thing caught my attention. check out the pic below.

How about the original RE Cafe Racer, lets see how successfull is the above modification RE motorcycle is in an attempt to be a Cafe Racer. Below is the original Royal Enfield Cafe Racer at the 2010 Delhi Auto Expo. you can see in the pic Constellation and the STD Bullet 350 also.

What is Beckham Riding??

2011-10-09T13:03:00.000-07:00

Got this piece on the internet. David Beckham riding to the President Obama's Dinner. That's when i start digging at this. What is it that Beckham is riding? It looks classic, total metal, cafe racer kind of handle bar and its custom made. After some search on the internet found it.

This one's from the David Beckham's Facebook

I wonder why is he wearing that worn our colored helmet? May be that's Beckham's style. He is a trend setter. what ever he does becomes trendy. That's his magic. Well his real magic is the way he bend's the ball and the amazing chances he creates for the strikers to score. Miss those day when he use to play for Manchester United. No Television telecast's MLS games. Rumors are that Tottenham Hotspur in talks to sign Beckham this Jan 2012 transfer window. Hope it happens!!!!!

2011-08-13T17:10:00.000-07:00

Hello there, no post for quiet a long time. so i was really trying hard for a subject to post on my Blog. I don't think so it is too long since i last posted, but i am just reading people's blogs so much that i started to feel that even i should write something. So here it goes.

So the big question was "What to write"?? Well ofcourse, i can write something that impressed me or influenced me or inspired me that i feel i should share with the unknown people on the web (if at all anyone is following me). Well inshort something that is really rocking!!!!!. I tried to find that subject and came up with this something. "The Great Maratha". This topic came to my mind only after seeing this awesome movie Singham (means Lion). Singham is a sanskrit word. So the story is about this guy named Bajirao Singham, he is a maratha (Maratha are like warriors, they use to be the warriors to the Great Maratha King "Shivaji". The maratha's called him Raje Shivaji). One of my Maratha friend (Sachin tailor) use to tell me stories about the maratha's. In his (sachin tailor's) native place there are these real maratha people. They will go out carrying a sword along with them. Ofcourse not to scare people but to protect the people. They will wear a mustach just like Raje Shivaji had. And the will never tolerate any unfair things happen in their society or village. They will fight against any injustice done to their people. They would behave just like a warriors. They would behave like the saviors of the common people and would do this as their duty.

My friend says, now it is very difficult to find a real Marathas in his native. Still there are Maratha people who have their sword but they do not use them. Things are changing so much and so fast that everyone has to change. Those were the times when marathas use to think that it was their prime duty to protect their society or village from any injustice happening to the people and they did it with passion and pride. As time passed on, things have changed drastically. Now the time is such that not only the man in the family but also female in the family has to think how to earn the bread and butter for the family. Earning money is need of the hour, With the kind of government that is ruling the nation no one is feeling secure. Its like "Everyone for Themselves". you cannot expect any good things happening from the people who are ruling the nation. Even if the leaders are good, not necessarily means his followers are working with same passion. Now people do not have faith in their Leaders like those days people had faith in their King's. Things have changed so much since those days. so has the maratha's. And this change is quiet natural.

In those times being a real maratha was a matter of pride. But now i wonder what is it that brings pride in us? is it the amount of money you earn, or the job you do. Even i don't have answer to this question, untill i saw the movie "SINGHAM".

This design is really great piece of art work.

That showcased me the real Maratha that i heard from my friend. So this movie potraits the Real Maratha who is there for the people, to serve them, protect them, and be a hero to them. i could literally feel what was a real Maratha was when they were in their prime. Singham did not tolerated any injustice done. He would react to every injustice done to the people. He was the servant of the people. He had the backing of all his supporter. I loved every bit of this movie. The real qualities of a maratha were shown. The dialogues and the action was real good. As a whole movie it was a complete package with action, humor and romance.

There was one misunderstanding i had about the lead actress in the movie, i was wondering that the actress was Tanushree Dutta. Which i was wrong. The actress is actually kajal Aggarwal. both look very much identical. Well the real Maratha was played by Ajay Devgan. He is the favourite of the masses. All the villagers loves him and they are ready to do anything to help Singham. Being a Police Inspector he use to handle law and order in his own way. He would avoid punishing the people who do crimes and try to understand the criminals problem and understand what were the circumstances that made him do that crime. and he would help the criminal overcome his problem to such extends that he would even help the criminal using his own finance. Singham has this reputation because of what he has made his real image with his attitude to help people. He would put people before himself to help them. Serving the other people and not being selfish was his main qualities. This was his most valuable asset he had. and to add to it he had a life partner who would support him. She loved him for what his real qualities were, his honesty, his boldness, being courageous, big hearted. Its so important to have a partner who have faith and beilef in their partner. its makes a person more stronger to have a partner like this.

Anyways, This movie is worth watching. I enjoyed it and everyone present in the Movie theatre also enjoyed. everyone were cheering. one more reason for me to like this movie was that it showed Singham riding on Royal Enfiled Bullet. And i felt proud seeing that. Its a special feeling only a Real Royal Enfield lover can understand.

Anyways i think i have written enough for me to be quiet for some more days to come. I suppose it is a good writeup.

one more thing i want to write about was a serial i saw yesterday on star world named " Lie To Me". i enjoyed it a lot. Its about this guy having special ability to read people's face based upon their facial expression. I have seen the lead actor from this serial in a movie "The Incredible Hulk". speakes with a Brit accent. For the name of the actor let me google it. will be back in a bit..................its Tim Roth. I will try to catch up every episode of the series.

bye for now.....
