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…
Trying out Castrol’s POWER1 CRUISE Engine Oil
Friction and heat are our twin enemies, robbing the engine of performance, and jeopardizing our trips in terms of reliability. The engine oil we use in our bikes, should not only give us superior power and performance, but do this for the extended period of time that we usually end up riding. This is why,…
Handy guide to transporting your bike through VRL Logistics
A much-anticipated trip into the mountains sparked off our search for a reliable transporter, who’d take our precious bikes from Bombay to Chandigarh. But which vendor, or which commercial shipper – that caused a lot of confusion. As our bike was still at the workshop, getting a few things looked into, we decided to go…
Royal Enfield’s Riding Jackets: there’s one for every reason and season
From the Cast Iron Electra and the UCE Thunderbird, the Continental GT and now the Himalayan, Royal Enfield’s motorcycles are an unexplainable attraction. The thing that I deeply respect them for, is the way the company balances the needs of the present, while staying true to their illustrious British origins and classic motorcycling lineage. Royal…
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…
60 kmph
60 kmph! A pace that puts the wind in your face and the worries behind.Where you hear the rustling of the leaves, and catch the smiles of the children in the street. That classic iron heart of a motor sitting relaxed between the feet. 60 kmph, it’s magic if you please. Them vibes smoothened out…
Bombay to Goa – a quick run on the Royal Enfield Himalayan
Goa calling, again! If you’d known me 5 years ago, then you’d never have said something like this back then. I’d been to Goa just the one time until then, that too on a family trip where we took Aazo along on a pilgrimage to all the major temples that he wanted to visit in…
Keep Moving, Keep Exploring
Broken road, cobbled road – smooth road or no road; the surface underneath doesn’t matter as long as you’re riding. There’s only one life to travel & we’ve got to keep moving, keep exploring…
Reasons to Love the Royal Enfield Himalayan
The Himalayan, a Royal Enfield like never before, yet, closer in spirit to all things RE, than one could imagine. One can say that this motorcycle is the one, that unites the past and the future. This page is more of a dedication, to the many discoveries about this wonderful motorcycle. One that I’ll try…
The Key Maker
The KeyMaker, aka chaabi-waala. There’s one in every neighborhood, out here in Bombay at least. Absolute life savers, these guys are magicians. They sit by their small stall, working through heat, noise, rain & grime. Offering their services on a round-the-clock basis, they’re in regular demand by locked out home owners. There is however, a…
