There is a lot of misunderstandings of what ABS is and what it does and more importantly, what it doesn't do. Let us discuss it with a listing of what I think are 3 facts and myths surrounding ABS and why it could save your life someday . ABS is Anti Brake-Locking System As the name implies, it prevents brake locks - the heart-stopping panicking moments of wheel locking up if we apply brake too suddenly. Brakes? Kinda are more important than the engine themselves. This can cause awesome skids which could be attractive if you are a stunt rider and are stunnting. Whereas, if you are trying to stop because you are riding head-on onto oncoming traffic; I have no clue why you would be; but that wouldn't spell good for you, so stopping the biking when you want it to stop is critical for riding. ABS is any system that prevents the wheel lock, by releasing the pressure on the brake disc, if it senses a wheel lock. This is done using motion sensors, which in turn

Life of an Offroading Enthusiast - Kolli Travelogue's Teaser

By

Good Day Viewers!

What a wonderful day to start planning a trip ;) That is what we thought when we started to plan our Kolli Trip! :D
After postponing twice, we decided to hit it come what may! And a complete travelogue of the trip is underway.

For now, enjoy a short clip to give you an idea of what to expect ;)



The ride was one of the most interesting ride, as there were 10 riders in total who converged from three different cities! The first hurdle was coordination as we have a special rider who is known to getting lost :P

And when I mean getting lost, I mean taking a wrong turn in the very first turn in the route planned :D! It was an epic moment coordinating with everyone, but all my mates are folks who I have ridden with before and therefore it was as expected.

The unexpected was that Kolli is a land of Hairpin Bends, and it lives upto its name! 

72 in total, I believe and we soon last count of it how many we rode through. These were interesting and a lot of fun did happen ;) which you can expect to see in the upcoming video.

So stay tuned for an update very soon, and do not forget to share the content ;)

What is the Real Maintenance Cost of a KTM and Can You Own One Right Now?

By
D o you know what is most painful experiences that a bike lover can have? Imagining your bike lying in the parking because it needs repair work being done. If you are a college going youngster, you would probably curse your parents for not giving you enough pocket money; which is very natural -probably I did as well, back then. But if you are employed waiting for the next paycheck. The auspicious date will come by and pass, but some new expenses will always creep up. Making the bike lie in repair state even longer! This is it. Walking Past This Everyday without Repairing it. That is the Worst Thing Ever! There are a lot of people who confuse Cost of Purchase (CoP) vs Cost of Ownership (CoO) of a Bike.  There are a lot of wise wisdom filled quotes that ask you not to bite more than what you can chew. It applies very well to the principle of CoP vs CoO . Being able to afford the bike, its initial payment, the document, and all the rest simply mean that you ca

5 Myths around KTM RC/Duke 390

By
I am a proud owner of a KTM D390 since 2016 December and have been extensively riding it for long distance touring. Recently completed a 3300kms round trip from Chennai-Goa   Pic: @alamparai fort backwaters With that as a credential, I write this article stating why some myths are just plain stupid. Stay tuned for future posts on a detailed comparison between various bikes in its class, and also across classes. To describe the D390; it is a middle-weight, sub-500cc class, nimble and a costly girlfriend who can ensure that you have a great time as long as you know to control yourself ;)! without further ado, lets jump into the myths! Myth 1: Duke/RC is Light Weight WTF is this assumption? Where does this come from? I suppose our folks would have heard some genius European/US moto-vlogger mention this. The thing is, those guys are used to superbikes which usually weigh a ton, compared to which D390 is light weight. But by Indian standards, D390 is a heavy ma
