Hi,

This is just a test initiative to find if we can make a small group of bangalore bike lovers .... so that we can have perodic tours around bangalore....I am planning to make a yahoo group for this so that people can join in and we can have group messages sent out.....any suggestions?

Regards,
Srini..

Hi zapraswamy

Welcome to IndiaMike - a great place to share ideas and information. Hope you get your Bangalore bike group together. Sounds interesting, but unfortunately I'm not heading that direction !

That would be great.

I am female, can i join ?

Wait, wait. I am on the verge of buying an Enticer.
and before you sniker, let me clarify
that it is only for the simple reason
that my feet won't touch the ground in any other bike.

Take a test drive of the new Bajaj Avenger. Very likely your feet will touch the ground. Its a better bike than Enticer. One of the Mumbai Yamaha dealers is a personal friend. He tells me Yamaha are selling two year old Enticers. Acc to him, they have not manufactured a new one for the local market in the last two years.

a good advice up there by avid trekker,
Indeed as compared to yamaha Baja enticer is a better opinion.
thumbs up on that!!

try posting on http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/ seems to have a lot of bikers there

[crimsonriver]

yep.. Xbhp.com is he largest biking community of India.... anything.. related to biking in Inida.. its here..

And the bangalore chapter is pretty active in organizing long rides etc.. The last ride by bangalore chapter was some 2200+ Kms down south..

And yes. Bajaj Avenger is a much better option..

By a simple bycycle Natasha.....Been there done that.....no machine can match that
BTW why do you want a mobike?

[natasha chanda acharya]

hey, thanks Avid Trekker for the advise.
I will definitely check out the Avenger.

My reasons for enticer are:
looks good
height is low
weight is light
price is less than other cruiser type looking bikes

I agree that the Avenger is a much better bike.
But does it serve my purpose?
I would love to have an Enfield
but I cannot hold it's weight to save my life.
Is the Avenger light? I am guessing not. Can you tell me?

Vinay, at last! Such a long time. Where have you been?
Cycle? well, i am sure some people can,
but i can't go cruising around Rajasthan in a Cycle, can I?
Nor can i go to office everyday in my cycle.
I know, i know, technically it is possible, but it's not for me.
Why do I want a bike?
Well, my hubby dear is proving to be
an extremely unreliable chauffeur
even as I count my grey hairs with each passing day.
I am trying to be a little less of the nagging wife, you see.
And of course, I have always desired a bike...
well, lusted after them, if you must know.

Natasha congrats. But be very careful, I have seen the recent traffic situation in Bangalore. Two wheel rideres are at great risk.

I think wives have some things in common. I am a lousy driver when I am in hurry because I am driving too fast, I am a lousy driver when SHE is in hurry as I am driving too slow & I am bumping in to red lights quite purposely.
Between us I am expecting atleast 2 challans for my last night's reckless driving.

[AvidTrekker]

Just take a test ride of the Bajaj Avenger. Am sure you will love it.

Hey All,

By all means, I will be all up for a bicycle ride in/around Bangalore. But, can anyone suggest any place I can rent/buy used bike from, if I only have 2 more months in Bangalore, and don't have a bike already?

Thanks
Arvind
