  • Shumi’s off on a bit of a tangent this time on The PowerDrift Podcast. He’s asking you to stop worrying and start thinking about how to move on and get the right stuff going for you. The process includes making mistakes and learning from them. This short podcast episode stems from the DMs and comments you, the #PDArmy, write to us. Have a listen and tell us what you think!

    6:10- I confirm what shumi is saying.
    Planning on buying a used bike since Mar 20th 2020 and today is Feb 27th 2021, it's close to a year and I haven't bought one yet.
    I live in another city and the bike is meant to be used in my Hometown.
    Reasons -
    Avenger nahi bullet, bullet nahi rs200, etc
    Bike kharaab mil jayega,
    Mai wapas bahar chala jaunga,
    Thora patience rakh leta hai badiya bike milega toh lamba time tak rakhenge.
    And there were many reasons which stopped me and I had to ask for help regularly from friends and family.
    Hell even the money came twice for the bike and vanished in day to day non sense or important purchases.
    For last 1 year I am sitting without a bike in my home, nowhere to go.

    @kishorekumars4900 3 года назад

    Absolutely golden words shumi bro..nothing will be accomplished until we stop worrying,
    when it comes to owning a motorcycle, its very important to experience the bike thoroughly,
    the good and bad of the machine is always on the cards...
    only then we get to explore the pros and cons of that particular vehicle,always think possitive and your mind and soul will be ready to go ahead to achieve your dream of buying a better motorcycle in future....
    Life is all about the magical blend of happiness and sadness,once you overcome your mistakes or worries, only then we get to experience ultimate satisfaction ..your spontaneity in your speech and sharp thinking is exemplary..having achieved the pinnacle in your career and yet you are grounded is the whole mark of a gentleman to the highest order..god bless you in your future endeavours shumi bro...🙏

  • @sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429
    @sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429 2 года назад +1

    Good analogy but I differ on the following
    Why should one choose a wrong bike when one has plenty of choices and guys like you provide all the pros and cons. Gone are the days when we only had RE, Jawa, & Rajdoot. My dad bought a Rajdoot in 1974 and we replaced with RX 100 in 1986 . After evaluating all the pros/cons of all bikes ie Hero Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki , I chose RX 100 although my dad wanted me to buy Yamaha RD 350 . Was happy with RX100 riding for over 13 years which was stolen. Got a Pulsar 150 whose quality was not to my expectations and after it was stolen got a Honda Unicorn thinking it to be a right bike but I lost my interest since it lacked the thrills of RX.
    Post marriage rode a Kinetic Honda which was replaced with Activa which I still enjoy to ride . 4 years back I got a Suzuki Gixxer for my son which rekindled the fond memories of RX thrills but I dislike it's rear set footpegs and the scooped seat.
    Frankly i am still looking forward for a bike which can offer me :
    Better seating posture with flatter seat and comfortable ergonomics like RE classic.
    Weight within 145 kgs
    250 cc twin cylinder
    Around 20 BHP
    Upside down forks
    Seat height around 765 MM
    Neo retro look design
    Mileage around 45 kmpl
    Strong headlights
    Pillion seat should offer seating comfort for lady
    Foot pegs should be ideally placed
    Ground clearance not less than 167 mm
    Probably, i may not find a bike offering me all the above 😆
    Shumi, I dont

    Great take on rather difficult topic(s) which still doesn't have enough theories and papers written about it, and even greater minds haven't figured it out. To name a few, 'Time', 'Money', 'Stress', 'Decisions', 'Life' and 'Motorcycles',
    Sadly, humans don't act like machines, and no aspects of it's functions can be but in User Manuals.
    But I have figured out this much for sure:
    The time you'd give to ride a motorcycle you'd want to spend your money on, is definitely going to take away stress, and will perhaps be the best decision in life.
    Just ride on, ride a lot, and ride safe.
