Royal Enfield’s Safari Touring Jacket & Nimbus Helmet Review
Dusshera Celebrations turned extra special this year, thanks to Royal Enfield, who sent over some #REUrbanGear goodies for us. We were jumping around in joy as we went about opening each of the boxes like giddy kids. In-fact our happiness was heard well around the residential complex by the time we’d unboxed every one of…
Motorcycle Talk: Tools to bring along For the Ride
My tool-kit journey, like most of you here, started out with the OEM kit that’s provided with every bike. But that quickly proved inadequate on my 250-300 km rides. Back then, I had a few loose spanners at home and took to carrying them along as well when venturing beyond the city. These rudimentary attempts…
Celebrating #OneRide 2017 – the #HauryaBikers way
The first Sunday of April is reserved on the calendar as #OneRide Day. This year marked the Seventh Edition of celebrating the camaraderie that comes from owning and riding a Royal Enfield motorcycle. As motorcyclists, we need but a reason half-an-excuse to throttle out. While the week is devoted towards earning that tank of fuel, the…
Bike Spotting: Hero Honda Street
The Hero Honda Street was a revolutionary one for our market. It promised all the control & efficiency of a manual transmission with the ‘clutch-less’ convenience of an automatic. It didn’t quite do too well though. Maybe it was too bold an idea for regular motoring folks, or the ‘step-through’ riding style of the bike….
Riding along the NH8-NH3 Loop with SJCam’s SJ5000+
It’d been nearly two months since i’d gone on a ride, and the term ‘withdrawal symptoms’ would’ve been too mild to describe my state. So when I finally got my bike back home from the mech, a ride was definitely on the cards. Not satisfied with the usual 100 kilometre circuit, a slightly longer loop…
Moto-Dreams: from the Yamaha RX135 to the Triumph Tiger XRx
Every bike is part of the great motorcycling journey that I’ve embarked on in the short while since I got hooked. The Yamaha RX135 has been my primary steed and there’s this deep bond I share with her (lovingly called, Rustique). It’d been three years since I had her rebuilt from scratch. A grounds-up restoration…
Haurya Bikers – Vaandri Diaries
Turns out, going on a mad, fun-filled ride is only the beginning. It was just another week when the ‘ridingitis‘ bug bit again with a vengeance. Since everyone’s schedules weren’t quite aligning, it was decided that this’d be a short breakfast run, down to Fountain Hotel on NH8 for some kheema pao. The point is…
Rustique Chronicles: That backstretch run
So we were returning, all showered up. Cruising along quietly when boom, an empty patch has been spotted! A gear drops unnoticed, the throttle opens & into the power band we arrive. It’s like the devil has been awakened & suddenly the scenery hurls past in a blur. A quick-ish upshift & everything disappears into…
Bikers Rev up with a Power Boost from Castrol!
Castrol has been a name that’s synonymous with the Biking scene, here in India for years now. Their quality lubes have powered many a memorable trip, while their Bike Points have rescued stranded bikers all across the country. With recreational biking starting to catch on in a big way, it was only fit to have…
