Diamond Black crashguard review

Diamond Black crashguard

Bullet is one of the most stable motorcycles that I have ridden. Even on the most troublesome tracks its wheels stay firmly grounded. Most of the injuries therefore from bullet is not while you are riding it, but before and after the ride. I have had my Bullet fall on me while getting it on and off the stand, while trying to back it uphill and worst while tilting it to remove the rear wheel. As against numerous such stationary accidents only twice have I fallen while riding Enfield and one of them was because my airfly style crash guard got stuck in an auto that passed me too closely. In all the instances I avoided punctured tank and fractured limbs because the crash guard took the major brunt of the accident. The importance of crash guard therefore cannot be overstated when the next line of defence protecting your cruiser is your body.

Throttle assist palm rest review

Throttle assist palm rest

Royal Enfield is the quintessential cruiser in India. As soon as you own it, you dream of vast stretch of arid land and a singular straight road cutting across it. With the wind sweeping across your face and the rhythmic dug dug of the Bull under you the only thing mind seeks is to lay back and relax. The only thing that prevents you from doing so is your tight grip on the throttle. Relax your palms and your cruiser comes to a jerky halt thus ending your cruise. Don't relax and after a time your palms start cramping up. Due to this I considered investing in a cruise control many times. However most cruise control were very expensive and were only possible with EFI systems. Others that were a bit cheap, were at best dangerous. This is when I chanced upon the Throttle assist.

Gear shift rubber socks review

Gear shift rubber socks

Commuting to office can be a pain, specially due to the traffic congestion in Delhi NCR. Being a Bulleteer it presented less of a hassle to me until due to my office regulations I was required to come formally dressed to office. Motorcycling as we well know, is very unforgiving to formal clothes. I sorted out the "Dust in attire" problem by spending 5 mins of dusting off session after each ride. However I did not anticipate the amount of damage a gear shifter can do to your formal shoes. What started off as a mild discolouration on the front left side of my shoe, soon intensified into rough cracking leather until finally I had to discard and purchase a new pair of shoes. I started looking up for a solution and that is when I found these rubber socks for Gear shifter.
