Indian traffic and Indian drivers are the main reason we always donate some money at temples.........

Still trying to workout how there are head on collisions on dual carriageways with a medium strip!!!!

I think the idea is that you go against the flow of traffic then crossover when convenient.

If ever you hear the joyous strains of " I'm dreaming of a white christmas" by good ol' Bing Crosby on the road in Karnataka - it'll be because there's a 10 tonne Tata truck reversing towards you. It happened to me folks!

not exactly bike lover..maybe b'coz i find it an expensive hobby..but yeah..i have tried other normal bikes that are available..infact I had a Electra for 6 months..and man that is a machine...

my cousin owns a Thunderbird, but I find it pale in comparison to Electra..

Head on collisions on dual carriageways is caused by the person who is cutting back on the wrong side of the road because they can't be bothered to go the longer way to a U-turn.

Three Indian bikes that are a pleasure to ride - RD350, Yezdi (I love this bike) and RX100

. Haven't ridden the newer bikes so can't say.

Indian drivers are Maniacal, but i would prefer thier driving skills to thier Thai counterparts. A Tuk-Tuk ride is a must is Bangkok, Just to realise that Indian drivers are better.

pulsar sure is a nice bike,but you should try out yamaha rd350..punjab police banned it during the militancy period in punjab coz of its sheer power.They dont even make it anymore here in india.

but I ai'nt that big a fan that I will go down looking for it...

everything that grows old has a nostalagia attached..maybe 20 years down the line the Pulsars will attract the same..
