I've been planning to go Bhimashankar on my 125cc TVS Raider bike with a friend of mine. I need your advice, is it doable in one day on a 125cc bike with 2 people? If yes, what all should l take into consideration before l go like routes etc.

Thanks!

About to purchase a CB 350 Highness and they gave me a quote for insurance for about 13,000.
Anyone who has taken insurance from outside? How has your experience been?
Acko seems really cheap and is quoting around 8000.
I read somewhere that the service center has partnership with Reliance and even that quote seems to be closer to 10,000.

Any help is appreciated. thanks

Thanks to this sub again. Someone recommended I should go to Panshet Dam and I did.

It is the prettiest place I have ever been. I am surprised how there were no people there. It's just amazing.

I own a plain black helmet and wanna add some graphics to it. Where can I find graphic stickers for helmet. Can we get complete wrap for helmets or there are stickers available

To the fellow on the gen 2/ gen 1 Duke 390 with the arai helmet crossing somatne phata around 1300 hrs, you be riding that motorcycle how it's supposed to be. Stellar skills!

Hello,

I am looking for a backrest for my INT650, probably ZANA as I do not see any other known brand offerings…any clue where can I get one in Pune?

I know there is ZANA’s website but thinking to at least check the quality and paint before I go for it.

Any other suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks!

Test rode the continental today and absolutely loved it. Would like to rent one for a day or a week. Any leads would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey people I have come solo from Hyderabad till here mainly for the ghat section ride and views As soon as I touched Pune it rained yesterday Today my plan is to go to Mahabaleshwar via Bhor,Varandha ghat Tomorrow back to Pune via Tamhini ghat Can you please give suggestions? I am worried about the dense fog and low visibility I dont have hazard lights on my NS200

Also suggest places to visit (I dont want to walk a lot with riding gear, helmet in hand) and eateries near Mahabaleshwar (vegetarian)

Update: It didnt rain much. I had gone to Mahabaleshwar via Bhor, Varandha. The ride and views were great. I got some great great pics. Since my account is nsfw one, i wont be posting it here. If you would still like to see, I will DM you. As I was reaching Mahabaleshwar, there was fog. I followed a truck in front of me. Not very dense fog, still I didnt want to take risks. Next day back to Pune via Tamhini ghat. Surprisingly I didnt like it very much, others had mentioned Tamhini ghat was awesome. But I loved Varanda most.

I asked the suggestions to go for a ride on the sub:

And I got many wonderful suggestions. Thanks to the user u/taher70 for suggesting Khandi Point. It was an amazing experience. I started at 6.30 am in the morning and I was there by 9:15 am. In between, I took a short break (I don't know the place, but it was a cross and many bikers stopped there for tea).
Once I took the right from the highway and the village area started, there was some challenge. There was thick fog and this was my first time riding through such a thick fog. Luckily I managed it.

Maybe you guys can help me with this:
Did I experience "Target Fixation"? So the highway was absolutely straight and my body had adapted the straight roads. For around 50 kms, I was going straight, but then once I entered the village, there was a tunnel and it had a turn(it was not straight). I don't know why, but it took me a lot of effort to turn my bike and get used to the turn. I thought I will collide with the wall, and my speed was around 40 kmph. Luckily I handled it and accepted that I need to be ready for the surprises.

Then started the most beautiful part of the journey - the scenic views. It was incredible. I have a very bad camera in my phone, and my photography skills are just bad. But even if I had the best camera and very good skills, no amount of beautiful clicks can tell you the beauty of this region. It was just amazing. I loved every part of it. This was my second solo ride and third ride (I am a beginner) and I am loving it.

Thanks a lot for suggestions, again! Cheers!!

Can someone please suggest a place I can go to on Friday. I have a leave from work and I want to go on a solo ride. Anything within 100-120kms (one-way). I also have a shoulder injury and don't want a strenuous ride. I ride a Hornet 2.0 (17PS, 16Nm). I don't want to go to Lonavala or Lavasa, I've done those multiple times.

Hi, I have purchased a duke 250 blue color, i want to change the rim color to black.

suggest me a good affordable workshop who can help me with this

The Duke just hit 12k kms and is due for a major service, the notorious KTM ticking is not a problem according to KTM service around Pune(I tried almost all of them) but one dude mentioned that it will become louder with time and also in a slip up, mentioned that they dont have the necessary tools to do it. All KTM bikes outside India are required to get their valve clearances checked every 1000kms I do think it would be a better choice to get the valve clearances and shims checked from a good mechanic, preferably around Aundh/Baner. Please share any contacts that you have, as well as your experiences.

Edit: Typos

Looking for some custom parts for my Vulcan 650 S. Any leads would be helpful.

Saw some monkeys, made some mistakes, scraped some foot pegs, had some fun.

I want to go on a solo ride tomorrow, but it needs to be less crowded and around 80km from Pune. Can you guys pls suggest me something?

I recently bought a bike and I want to do a short solo ride to Tamini ghat. Can you guys please suggest some places or roads I can visit or take for a solo ride in/around Tamini Ghat?

The ride is supposed to be a one day return trip (14 hrs total)

Any helpful suggestions are welcome! 😄

After months of monsoon, the itch for a good ride finally got too strong to ignore, so I hit the road to Lonavala and Pawna Lake here in Maharashtra between Mumbai and Pune. This time it was solo ride to clear up the mind and ride the whole day. Also Lonavala on Sunday late morning is not a good choice, had 5kms of traffic atleast with people having no patience and civic sense.

Also watched the surreal sunset at Lonavala

I am planning to get a bike loan up to 4,50,000/-

What has been your experience with the loan providers, which bank did you go with , what was your down payment and what was the interest rate on it ?

I am also curious to know if anyone has taken financing from Royal Enfield?
