Royal Enfield 2 - Test Rides

This is a late follow-up to my previous post on Royal Enfield, but here I want to summarize the test rides I had taken before buying a bike. More info follows..

Bullet 500: I had started to like this bike. The forest green Colour bike had started to tempt me. I had multiple test rides of this bike in different show rooms. The feeling was mixed. On my first ride, i really liked it very much, it was feeling different from the classic 500, was pretty comfortable to ride and handle and of course the vibrations were there but compared to the classic 500, this actually felt better. But in my subsequent test rides I also experienced weird sound from engine, extreme vibration which was prominent for the pillion also. This made me relook at my liking on this bike..

Electra 350: also known as bullet 350 ES, the test ride experiences with this bike was always smooth and easy. Never found any drawbacks, there were vibration but compared to the other bikes this is way better and it was manageable! I liked the magic black Colour combination as well.

So, after taking multiple test rides i had short listed the following two bikes: Bullet 500 and the Bullet electra. Which one did i choose? In the next write up which i will make sure i will write it soon!

Seagull

Birds are a wonderful creatures. Each one of them have their unique offerings and fascinates you. We were going in a noisy boat, engine roaring, and people speaking loudly with each other. There was this beautiful seagull, away from it's heard, hovering around the boat checking out what these noisy people were upto!

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes... Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
