The Himalayan remains a path-breaker for rough-roading travellers. I consider it to be the domestic version of the Legendary KLR and similar motorcycles. A proper pack-mule, it may be heavy to wrestle with, but has a seasoned-vibe that lingers on, making you long to take it for a nice, long ride, ever so often. While…

Dancing down the twisties, a Cub & the Tiger moment

My Bullet Tale: the Stripes & Sunshine Affair
A motorcycle today is infinitely more efficient & reliable, not to mention powerful & loaded with tech, than their predecessors of yore! There’s one aspect though that sits uneasy in the head and that’s the growing creep of tech. Some of it is inevitable, a bit is desirable even. But the heart still yearns for…
Royal Enfield: Pure Motorcycling at heart
Back when I was a scrawny school kid, I’d curried favour with one of dad’s friends for a chance to ride his bike. As I struggled to even kick-start it, dad’s friend could clearly see through my lie of knowing how to ride one. Yet, for some unknown reason, he kicked it to life and…
Getting your Royal Enfield Trip-Ready for another year of Motorcycling
The all-important First Ride of the year finally happened after a long wait for the MotoGods to bestow their blessings upon me. The pre-ride dilemma was real though, as I found myself swinging between the sonorous thump of the Cast Iron Electra and the AllRoadNoRoad abilities of the Himalayan. I even went down to checking…
Royal Enfield Himalayan Crash Guards by A4Moto Designs
I’d been on the look-out for replacement crash-guards for my Royal Enfield Himalayan after damaging the ones I had in a tarmac scraper. My search led me to an unassuming corner in Dahisar East, through the doors of A4Moto Designs.
