BHPian airguitar recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Yesterday, there was a massive traffic jam on the Kadubisanahalli-Panathur road, it's gotten worse with up to 1 hour wait time ( where the vehicle moves less than 500m ) these days, both ways. I reached around 6.05 pm in front of the "Sharaabi" liquor store and the vehicle didn't move much for 1 hour. Even as the cars waited on the narrow road, three hair-brained drivers driving their respective cars jumped a few hundred cars in the line, came into the lane belonging to oncoming traffic and tried to merge in front of me from the ri ..read more

BHPian bkc recently shared this with other enthusiasts. I've faced a similar incident at a puncture shop. I was quite vigilant, when he told, he wanted to remove the tyre for repairing a tubeless puncture. Holding the tyre in left hand, they apply soap liquid from the other hand. While you focus on the soap, puncture the side wall from left hand. He had a waste cloth, with a sharp nail kind of instrument, fixed into it. I knew something was wrong, but kept silent to catch him red handed and teach him a lesson. After inspection, he showed me two punctures, one in thread and one in side wall. H ..read more

The Citroen Basalt has been caught testing once again. However, this time, the car was spotted with no camouflage whatsoever. The Citroen Basalt is a coupe SUV that shares its underpinnings with the C3 Aircross, which is already on sale in India. It looks rather good as a stylish coupe. The Basalt has a notchback design with a sloping roof line, a short tail section with an integrated spoiler and wraparound taillamps. The car features black plastic cladding around the wheel arches, giving it a slightly rugged look and flap-type door handles. Inside, the Basalt is likely to get a large touchsc ..read more

BHPian shyamg28 recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Courtesy of my wife's work, I got a chance to visit the Kari Motor Speedway Racetrack for Season 2 of the KTM Cup. There was a fair amount of excitement among the participants, who were all briefed about the format of the KTM Cup. I found it to be amazing that KTM first takes all the participants through a few classroom sessions and then some on-track training as well with a coach. The participants are also divided into 3 batches - experienced, novice and women (for the first time). Last year's runner-up Amarnath Menon was also pres ..read more

BHPian Samba recently shared this with other enthusiasts. After getting the Jimny, I was craving a road trip and was checking with my wife, Sukanya aka Bhpian DogNDamsel12 for several places. We bought the Jimny at the end of 2023, and we had a very hectic schedule till Feb end. So we were looking forward to going on a road trip in March. We considered places like North Bengal, Gopalpur, Vizag, Pench, and a few more, but we were not very content with any of the above plans. One night, after a very hectic day at work, she was sitting down with the map and somehow came up with- 'I would like to ..read more

BHPian Nrulz recently shared this with other enthusiasts.Journey with Team-bhp:About me I am passionate about technology; I take time to gather detailed inputs, analyse in-depth and make decisions. It took almost a year to decide on my first bike which my dad bought for me during my college days (Yamaha Libero 2005); burdened by my analysis, my mates made good fun of me, that I am never going to buy one. Happily, Libero turned out to be my best bud ever; although meagre 107cc engine (decided purely for mileage, whooping 60km/litres), still i have had exciting fun moments with my bike. The Rus ..read more

BHPian Mr.Perera recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Very useful thread. Just adding my experience to this. I have been using phone mounts on my motorcycle for the last 12 years.

Adding the different mounts used in order.Capdase Phone mount- This was my first ever phone mount. I bought it back in 2012 and used it on my KTM Duke 200. It was a premium and well-made mount at that time, don't remember the cost of ..read more

BHPian HYPERTOURER recently shared this with other enthusiasts. So time for a quick update on my Aerox. Got the bike in 2022 Jan and have done 4k kms to date. The reason for the low mileage is that it's not my main mode of transport and also that it's constantly being worked on and is with the mechanic. Let me quickly share the list of mods I have done to date:Rear suspension RCB VD series with extra soft springs.8-litre fuel tankCVT pulley and gearbox upgrade.

Suzuki Motorcycles is working on a new Access 125. As the latest spy images suggest, the scooter is likely to get a major update. The test mule of the updated Suzuki Access 125 was recently spotted testing. While the overall design of the scooter looks familiar, we can expect subtle changes to the bodywork and a reprofiled headlamp. Other changes we've noted on this prototype are the new rear mudguard and exhaust heat shield. The Access 125 might also get hazard lights in addition to features like a USB charging port and an external fuel filler. Suzuki is likely to retain the same 124cc singl ..read more
