HIDs will work only with those bikes that have their battery above 7aH. If your bike’s battery is not upto this mark, then don’t consider HID. There are two types of headlamps in Indian motorcycles. Running on AC or DC. If your bike’s headlamp fluctuates with your accelerator – dim at low RPM, bright at…
Safety gear is an inseparable part of motorcycling. Riding without helmet is akin to climbing hills without ropes, jumping heights without parachute. Sure it will give you thrills till it goes on, but that one mistake will be enough to put a full stop to any activity, or perhaps life itself, if safety is not…
It began last Tuesday, 24th of May, with a phone call… “Aniruddha? Hi, this is Suneil from xbhp…” Turned out my blog submitted at the last minute to the True Wanderers contest was about to be selected amongst the top 10 for next round. Wow! So what next? ‘Would you be available for a ride…
In March 2011, I and my wife Nandinee completed a motorcycle tour to Kerala, Kanyakumari and Kodaikanal. This was our longest trip ever, on motorcycle or otherwise. The 18 day trip, from 12 March to 31 March 2011, was as much entertaining as it was educating. Touring in the state with highest literacy rate, the…

We woke up hurriedly in morning, because we were visiting Kodanad as well as Kalady at the same visit, and thus had to be bathed and all before going to temples. The roads were wonderfully vacant at morning, and I could cover good distance in short time. At 7.45 A.M. we reached Kodanad Elephant Training…
Today we would return to the flat lands, to hot weather. For about past 7 days, we were roaming around in the hills enjoying the coolness. We were near the end of our trip, and these days were not too crowded. When we modified the itinerary for visiting Kollam and dropped Athirapally, we rescheduled our…
