Motor Cycle Diaries

The Motorcycle market of India has a bike for the need of every individual whether style, power or comfort. India is the second largest producer of two-wheelers in the world. It stands next only to China and Japan in terms of the number of two-wheelers produced and the sales of two-wheelers respectively. The feeling of freedom and being one with the Nature comes only from riding a two wheeler. Indians prefer the two wheelers because of their small manageable size, low maintenance, pricing, convenience, easy loan repayments and mobility for the Indian family. In most cases people can not afford a car, so they opt for the next best thing... a motor bike. This then becomes the primary means for transportation....

Indian streets are full of people of all age groups riding a two wheeler. And best of all they are VERSATILE!!! The two wheeler provides uses for almost any need. Creating sights that you would never see back at home. We have seen almost everything being carried on a 'motorbike' here in India. TV's, Doors, Huge Sheets of glass and metal, Huge water tanks, you name it... we have probably seen it. Here are just a few pictures so you can get the idea....

In closing.... Saftey.... The thought is 'yeah... whatever...'! People don't wear helmets or adhere to common sense when riding a two wheeler, hence there are many fatalities everyday in all the cities/towns/villages around India. Yes, we have witnessed some ugly sights....
