the disease TB part 2

allright this is where i start to bitch abt my bird.. well i'll try.. frankly i've fallen in love wit her even more after takin her to pondy.. man she was quick, smooth n time jus flew by.. now i'm not talkin abt time wrappin speed tat a busa or blackbird or 12R can do.. but its quick none the less..

right right back to topic.. hmm.. lets c.. first few months wit the bike where hard.. i mean cold start jus took forever.. n if i leave it parked for more than an hour it cools down so quickly tat its just the same as a cold start.. god knows how many kicks it required.. cursed myself as to why i didnt spend another 8 grand n get the electric start.. i rem the longest i spent kickin it was 15 min.. n my calfs were sore.. one plus though in gettin a bullet.. my forearms n calf muscles still got shape.. lol..

but let not this hinder ur decision of gettin a TB.. i specifically mentioned the first few months.. these days its runnin real smooth.. n plus i finally got the technique of startin a bull.. its the long stroke motor.. so u gotta wait b4 u throttle it..

moving on.. well the electrcials have conked.. this is the sole reason y i didnt go in 4 an electric start.. these guys cant get the simple electricals to work reliably.. the electric start system will probably burn a hole in my pocket.. come on royal enfield.. its time you guys upped the quality by not just a few notches but to another level.. its imperative if u wanna survive in todays market.. sure they have crazy fans like me n many more crazier who'll still go buy a bull instead of a karizma or pulsar.. no offence to these bikes they r good bikes.. but i wanted somethin wit big capacity n equivalent power.. the first need was satiated but the latter is still left wanting.. its time u got dohc(double overhead cams), dual sparks n all aluminium engines in ur bikes.. liquid cooling.. ah jus imagine the possibilities.. then instead of a piddly 18bhp from a 350cc v wud prob get somethin close to 30-40.. anyway the need for power can never be satisfied.. i'm sure even if i had a busa or r1 after a certain point of time u want more.. u think i'm crazy.. y do the japs keep boosting their power outputs year after year.. anyway deviatin a lot from topic..

otherwise no oil leaks.. now don't let ppl's popular misconceptions n horror stories of oil spoutin bulls deter u from gettin one.. they r bulls n will leak oil.. so far mine hasnt except a li'l from the cylinder head.. prob jus needs the gasket replaced.. lol.. hey told ya its not easy to own a bull u jus gotta accept it for wat it is n use its strenth to enjoy it..

n i revelled in its strength to munch miles last week.. yeah she's got her faults.. she can b more powerful wit tat excellent chassis n dynamic balance.. i can go on n on abt the faults but i dnt wanna.. let other people do tat.. let them also envy the guy who rides bulls.. cos no matter wat bike u ride theres no other bike in india tat envisage such feelings of envy than from a squeaky clean n shiny bullet.. tats my TB.. i love it.. wit faults n all.. its the same way with relationships!!
