- 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!

I m afraid of increasing petrol prices for buying motorcycles
Hey tvs apache rr310 or gixer 250. ?
cb350rs vs hness better option
Shumi -you are gem of a person,those words are diamonds ,used very well in context to motorycling,Good Job and God Bless.
Well done, very good piece of containt and it is very helpful..
Golden words by prof. Shumi , honestly one of the best video without a single motor around.
Oooh wee!
This 9 minute podcast motivated me to leave RUclips and prepare for my certification exam.
All the best Apurv!
Remember, education is important!
Dont leave PD😄😄
Ppppp
Ha ha
BS
This video isn't just for bikes, this is for life itself🙏🏼❤️
Absolutely!
It was all because of their experience throughout their life journey!♥️♥️
I came here for bikes, wasted 5 mins of my life.
Seeing the hikes in petrol prices u should start recommending HERO SPLENDOR+
Bajal platina or ct 100
Or bicycle
You making this comment just defeats the purpose and efforts they put in this video. Watch the video again
If EV bikes get better we can forget about petrol costs.
@@surya_0x0 much needed
Hero cycle
In these 9 minutes shumi gave us very important lessons of life...👍🔥
True that!
More practical than a sandeep maheshwari motivation video.. shumi you're great!
Hahaha! Appreciate that compliment, Chirag!
Indeed man.
Someone said "after 4-5 days it doesn't matter(brand name) you own a motorcycle from Yamaha, Bajaj, ktm or Honda or even Kawasaki etc..
The thing that matters is, is it giving the same fun and happiness like before.
*That's what we need right*
Professor Shumi from the Dept of Psychology in PowerDrift Institute of Automobiles... 🤪
🤣🤣
Actually HOD shumi!
So basically what Shumi is saying is, buy whatever bike fits your budget right now. I repeat, RIGHT NOW. And go rip it like Rossi. No time to waste.
Hhahaha! Not that extreme, but ride it!
@@powerdriftofficial 😅😂
Man! This was as if Shumi was talking to me! Same state😂
Damn! I had no idea I needed to hear this today. And no, I wasn't talking about motorcycles!. Thanks Shumi & PD
We are glad this helped, Gopikrishnan!
Its been 3 months...3 moths before I went to our flat in kolkata by pulsar 180.i was happy with it...240km one way...would do it every week for a year...one day I rode a z650 of a bhaiya and I loved the bike and when I returned while on the highway I stopped 3-4 times thinking about just different bike and the urge for it..normally I dont do more than a stop for 5 mins...now I was panicking for 3 months which bike to buy as now the 180 does not suffice my hunger...anddddd this video helped me to get some idea and it quenched the thirst of my question....kudos to powerdrift and shumi sir...love from west bengal
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
I would listen to him talk about anything not necessarily motorcycles.
Do you have a problem?
-No
Then why worry?
Do you have a problem?
-Yes
Can you do something about it?
-No
Then why worry?
Do you have a problem?
-Yes
Can you do something about it?
-Yes
Then why worry?
For someone like me who gets anxious and stressed whenever I have to choose between things, this episode is an great eyeopener. Thanks man!
7 months later and don't know how many times I've watched this podcast but it's always fresh.
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.
In general lot of us are losing the ability and the courage to take risks or even get out of our comfort zone
I came here to hear about motorcycles but i heard much more than that, much more than just motorcycles...
I recently stumbled upon this channel and damn, it's awesome.
The covid part didn't help me but the suggestion that I am allowed to make mistakes is what makes this video close to my heart.
Best episode so far
Really really really needed to hear that. I'm 26 and I feel like I have already aged a decade just from worrying. Thank you, Shumi
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...🙏
Right motorcycle -> Your garage.
Wrong motorcycle -> Mechanic's garage.
Either way it's in some garage.
So stop worrying.
This just got me in tears! I have been researching for the correct bike since many months.. but truly said that I could have used those months in riding than just waiting to make a decision
♥️♥️ load of love and thank you.
Shubhabrata you have been lovely, you are not only about reviews and stuff but also life talks.
Thank you so much
Thanks. Much needed. I guess looking for a right motorcycle has consumed me fully.
Guruve Saranam. Rightly said Shumi guru, I don't want to waste time in decision fatigue. I just came out of such fatigue of selling jawa42. It's not the bike to satisfy my soul... I made mistakes and i definitely know there is calm beach down south waiting to be explored. Thanks again
Best auto enthusiast i know is hands down shumi ✌🏻😎
I really love when we are not limited to a small topic like "How to select a bike?" and other bla blas. Here we talk about life and look at the bigger picture.
Sometimes the gyaan forms a gentle check and reminder ....👍🤞
Wow deep❤ Schumi provided a great sense of relief to me. "Mistakes make us more human" will be my new moto!
I needed to hear this today. Not only about bikes but life in general. ❤❤
To leave stress I feel petrol and go for big ride without planning and those rides are memorable. Even all of my 100 cc bikes and scooters satisfied my bikeing pleasure .Just be passionate
So well said!! i was worried that I may end of making a mistake if I buy a bike. The thing is we just have to have fun with it once you make a purchase.
This wasn't a video it was a disguised life lesson worth more than any motorcycle!
After 10 years I still look back at my motorcycle in awe after parking. And every time I ride it still feels like the first time. I'm sure I got the absolute right one for me.
I sold my Himalayan within 45 days of buying... Got Adv390... Lost money but learnt a lot.
Shumi you're a gem.
“Focused on finding a solution, which is a very different state of mind”. Key takeaway, numero uno!
This was a more of philosophical class rather than automotive.. Shumi simply told us - the time is more than money in the way we understand.. Kudos!!
I know how to choose a right bike so I am more worried about that from where i will get the money 💸 to buy that right bike 😂🤔
😂😂
I'm amazed how this video isn't just about bikes, but can be applied to life itself.
what Shumi explained was exactly me 2 yrs back, gradually things changed and so do I.
Yay!
Awesome! I did the same thing after graduation. Bought a pulsar and rode it like Hell!! Now after a few years I know I can handle big bikes, not the litre class but atleast 300cc.
Oh goodness! You haven't an idea HOW relevant and much much needed this was for someone like me at this juncture in life. For the last 3 years I have only mentally toyed with the idea of a bike for myself but esp in the last few months, I have been getting torn mentally between options without being able to make up my mind. I have even had dreams of the bikes am crazy about from over thinking. However, I have set myself a deadline of June'21 to book a bike. I am 37 and have like forever now been on an Activa only and now I am deciding to go for a 600 + CC ride. Have booked the Trident but leaning more towards the Street Twin from the pillion seat and slight touring perspective(added more ambiguity here with the intro if the 2021 Bonneville line up from which am absolutely smitten by the Street Twin gold line but then again the cost comes to my mind) but at the same time leaning also towards Triple R from the road presence and design perspective. You see what I mean? I am the classic example who you must have aimed a video like this at. I guess this talk from you has solved it completely for me :) Well almost I think! :) :(
Man this guy is a legend
This is not about only motorcycle, this is about life and did not know shumi is monk , listened multiple times when feel depressed. Thank you @shumar
He is not talking only about bikes , he is talking about life
21 yo me dreaming of buying my own bike soon! This video makes sense and I got to go study😂
7:37 the most valuable advice 👍 thanks @Shumi n @powerdrift
This was like a therapy
This was Therapy!!! Thanks a lot...
You're awesome Shumi! Thank you for sharing your heart!
I'm subscribed to this channel, only because of Shumis manner of speaking, What he chooses to, and how he communicates.
Always buy stuffs for our needs, not for society & Consider practicality like cost, usage, mileage, maintenance, etc
My mother approves this message. Especially these bits - "Stop worrying" and "Its OK to waste your money a littlebit here and there". OK, back to worrying about the Triple R's stick price in Bengaluru. Cheers.
The best way to test ride a motorcycle is to buy it !
Shumi's Words were on Point , A Beautiful Calm Composed Presentation ❤️ Keep Up PD 👍🏻
You're like a brother who gives the right advice.
Could hear Shumi speaking all day long and would still like to hear more ❤️
Thank you Schumi. This topic comes at a very right time.
Genuine wisdom shared.
Dont waste ur time.. its ok to loss ur money here…🔥🔥👍👍
🙏Thanks for the guidance...not only for motorcycle but for Life❤😇
The riding community and specially the more experienced riders are often the most clear headed sane people I meet. I'm 21 and riding and meeting riders of different age and economic backgrounds has made me more mature than anything.
The magic of motoring fraternity!
I am going to forward this video to friends who don't know the first thing about bikes. Its because this video tells us something that is way beyond purchasing motorcycles, something about life! Hats-off @PowerDrift for coming up with this content and a salute to the man himself, @shumi, for delivering it in a way as if we needed (rather than wanted) to hear this! Thank You for being this awesome!
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.
“What you will never get back is your time” is spreads a smile on my face... thats a great man with great thoughts in a great powerdrift
Whoa! Mighty big compliment, Suriya! Appreciate that!
"Choose your time more wisely than your money" wow great advice thanks Shumi.
I have been confused about which motorcycle to buy and wasted time b4 seeing this video
After seeing this video today I booked my duke390
Thank you so much shumiii❤❤
Hats off Shumi.. This is the stressful process most of us go through and sharing your experiences are really helpful. Thank you so much..
Somehow, these podcasts literally help by addressing some personal issues that I'd have earlier in the day... Couldn't thank you enough! 🙌🔥
If only the fuel prices weren't always rising...
This podcast changed my life very positively. Thank you so much.
After, listening to this, I'm ready to waste my money, but I will surely use my time wisely.
Thanks Shumi 😎✌🏻
there is something truely inspiring everytime shumi sir talks about a topic....its grabs your attention, it gets you focussed and truely makes you think n imagine that feeling .Spell binding stuff
1:05 let this sink in 😂🤣
Dude. How amazing can this get 🙌
Short Podcast...!!!
Man you Communicated So Much...
Nice advise and and some time making good decision and test driving can help
Well Said Shumi. One of the greatest episode from PD ! Thanks a lot again.
Shumi! You have been spot on about what one should focus!
This is the best video I've seen on PD so far 👌👌 thank you
Thank you 🙏🏾. I just can’t afford to miss any of your contents 😊
Shumi ji,
I don't usually follow motor journalists, but watching your videos and following your Instagram page brings immense pleasure.
You are definitely one of the best motorcycle journalists, but you probably know that already.
This video. is the best motivation video than any professional. simple, clear, efficient. It's more than a bike buying guide. Good work. No words to describe how good this video is
Opened my eyes🙏🙏🙏
Thank thanks thanks.... At age of 24 I've been wondering to get an interceptor or a Himalayan. I have made up my mind now.
And what would that be?
Listening to Shumi feels like listening to an elder brother. Love the way he explains. So connective.✌️✌️
Wow man , this was so helpful. Shumi’s attitude towards life is so practical and positive!
For me it was less of a buying lesson for bike but more of a life lesson. It's wonderful connection why we love to ride .
Thanks for positive thoughts Shumi
I am beginning to genuinely like these podcasts.
Damn...waited for Shumi's podcast for so long atlast :D
I always thought that I did a mistake by buying tvs apache rtr 180, I am short height fat guy. Initially I grew tailbone pain and lower back pain by going on long ride like 300 to 500 kms a day ride on thin and hard seat of apache. Several times I planned to buy new motorcycle but changed the plan, worked on my bike, changed seat cushion as per my comfort, serviced and tuned the bike properly for long ride, added extra lights, crash guards, luggage support and now it bike is what I always want to take to long rides without hassle. So I understand that there is no wrong motorcycle, either you buy a motorcycle that caters your need or you can make changes as per requirement.
Very well said! 👍👍👍👍👍
We can have everything but time.....
2 minutes into the podcast and I already feel like my therapy is going on. ❤
You are covering very important but least talked topics under this podcast.
Good job shumi.....🔆
This is more of a motivational video on life than a motorcycle...but in a very positive and good way..❤️
Pure motivational talk.... hat's off to Shumi sir🙏🏻
