Yeah. This doesn’t look like how the ICE age is going to end, as urgent as it might be. And if the numbers are right, it means ~2x the number of complaints per sale per month. That’s horrific for the EVs are maintenance-free promise.

Beautiful bikes. Fantastic pricing! #Interceptor650 prices start ₹2.50L. #ContinentalGT650 prices at ₹2.85L. Rode Interceptor 650 to the launch on 850km terrifyingly bad roads. Inch-perfect. There’s room for improvement, but #650Twins is a stunning job done @royalenfield !

I suspect that an EV that keeps breaking down with unresponsive customer care is an interesting and innovative way to push people to use public transport. This may arguably be even better for the planet than electrics. Side benefit: hardship builds character 😊

Honda CB350 sells ~4,000/month. Classic 350? ~7x that. But the new Honda CB350 (no suffix variant) is here at ~₹30k less than the REC350 with the most inspired of colours. Problem solved I’m sure.

As good a day as any to remind you that DOT certification on helmets isn’t of much value in India. It’s a self-certification format that’s a bit inferior to ISI. What you should really get is a helmet with ISI (legal) & ECE (third-party tested, 22.06 is ideal) certifications.

Reboot was a great film for us. Not because of how it turned out. Because it was a new team learning to work together, work towards a noble purpose. Driven by the passion to create something new. Something important. Something with meaning. Something that would make a difference.

Here's a tip you can use. When you see a new vehicle's footage being sped up in the promos? Usually means it's not fast enough to look impressive. Bonus tip: When you hear the vehicle's soundtrack in the clip and it sounds like a mid-90s Fireblade? It doesn't sound impressive.

The #KawasakiNinja400 is a beautiful 400cc sportsbike, easily amongst the best of them all. Riding it means you'll be in love and want one. Thankfully, the price is so huge that the love is as fleeting as as social media fame. ▶️ - #MotorInc #MotorIncView

So close and yet so far! For a while in the early 2000s, colleagues at BSMotorinc used to call me Marmar-ini (among other names). And today, Mir-Marini is Repsol Honda for 2024! So close! And yet, so far!

It would be so funny if autocorrect kept changing Rs to ₹, no? 🤣

It’s official! @tvsmotorcompany are now the owners of @Norton_Moto . This does NOT mean the Commando is instantly coming to 🇮🇳 & local production. 4Now All TVS has said: Norton “can leverage TVS’s global reach & supply chain capabilities to expand to new markets.” @PD_Official

Holding a trembling mindlessly scared dog for an entire day at 13 — and I did that for many years after that — ended my fascination for firecrackers. Arti and I would burn one phuljhari each to mark the festival of light. And that’s what I do today. Just the one. It’s enough.

What a great ride through slippery muck from #IXC to #Shimla on this @indiatriumph #Tiger800XCx yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed the sense of grip and the poise through broken and slippery stuff. - #SundayFunday with #TriumphTiger800XCx - #motorcycle #motorcycles #bike #ride #r

Seems like the Indian motorcycles news over the past few days is: one bike’s been repainted. This one may/not come to India. Another’s now exported to a country. This one definitely made in India. Thats more or less it.

Everything we consume requires someone to put in resources, effort and/or time. So technically, nothing can really be free. Someone's got to pay for the resouces/effort/time. If you're getting that for free...
