As was best summarized by good ole Raghavan – “He doesn’t look awkward on it as I expected.” Thank you!īut the feeling of throttle on a Bullet on an empty section of the street while you sit back and let your arms loose is something out of this world and one really needs to be on one to experience it.Our policy lasts 10 days. Of course, it gets you noticed, especially that you’re not someone who’s expected to be on a Bullet – being all of 66 Kgs (65 Kgs post the 10K run, gotta gain some weight back!), and it does cause some surprise. The back holds out well on such rides (Surprise!) as the road condition is pretty good, but it feels the worse-off sections of road a lot more as one gets closer home. But 70 has been my comfort-zone even with the old bike, so am not complaining there.Īs for the bike rides, the longest it has been stretched to is Kanakapura, going there with a stopover at Ramanagarm to spot vultures and then riding along the excellent road connecting the two towns, Masala Dosa at Vasu’s and then the shorter NH209 to get back home for a total distance of 120 Kms. It does a comfortable 80Kmph and starts vibrating after that. It’s not a speed machine, even with the 350CC engine on it. The silencer was changed from the stock one to another one which produces more ‘thump’ and it makes for excellent riding with the engine thumping along. The service center was changed and life has been going on normally since then. I ended up spending 2.5K to get a new battery decided to be safe and stuck to Exide which has stronger contact points. There were issues with the odometer cable not working within a week (promptly replaced under warranty by the service guys) and some pretty pathetic servicing where during the first service, they broke the contacts on the battery by dropping it and then stuck it in, so that I wouldn’t realise the issue until a few days later. The first few months were a bit middling. So the bike was booked in November 2012 and after a long wait of 6 months, it was delivered on the 16th May 2013. ![]() And the goal was to extend the frontiers on that one. I had also started doing a lot more bike rides – small ones to just outside the city etc. A normal bike was causing a lot more backache thanks to the lack of weight and the one I had had pretty bad physics. It was the kind of bike one suggests to people like The Raj, not for yourself when you weigh around 65Kgs. ![]() On my brand new Bullet.įive years back if someone had said I’d be getting a Bullet, I’d have laughed. I purred it into action, fuelled it up nearby and promptly rode home. The man applied some polish for it, fixed the crash-guard and handed over the keys. Not riding without one!” The bike was duly rolled out and I gazed at in wonder. I looked around for crash guards and only the basic one was around. The sheet of paper handed over to them, the guy disappeared. I had to go to the service center to pick it up. ![]() I looked around for it, to see which of those standing was mine. I remember that evening, walking to the showroom, being given the documents and instructions etc. Can’t believe it has been a year already. ![]()
