Am I the only one who notices and appreciates the colour pallet of every video?

Another tip / hack that I use - When parking in front of a wall without a front camera or parking sensors, turn on your headlights (high beam as well) and look at how much it spreads or how much condensed (bright spot) it looks on wall, that's how you can judge how close you are.

When Shumi said, don't use Horn, it comes to my mind that People don't understand, the Horn is a safety feature and not a convenience feature. One should use Horn when they want to bring someone's attention to them when they feel, if not, it may cause an accident/incident. But what does the horn represent today? A tool to get everyone out of the way by annoyingly blowing it because I am in a hurry or I am not a good rider or it's just that I am a jerk.

On "Start slow to get fast", I want to share a personal memory. I used to ride through office cabs in my last organisation and I was good with all the drivers those drove me to office. One of them gave me an advise on driving. He said "Sir aap koi bhi gaadi chalaoge toh pehle kuchh time gaadi ko samajh lo, tab tak slow chalao, 1 baar gaadi ko samajh liya toh gaadi aapke ishare pe naachegi" And that advice struck me and also i sticked to it till now. Whenever I have a new vehicle in my hand, I take my sweet time to understand it. Clutch, brake response, braking time, acceleration, stability, etc. I have to re-calibrate my brain according to this vehicle because my brain is calibrated to my regular vehicle. It might be just the first 15-20 mins, but I need to do this process in order to be safe and efficient on the road.

I remember an early morning ride, happened to look at the rear view mirror, and saw the rising sun - a beautiful glob of orange. First thought that came was to stop, pull out the phone and get a picture as the moment was ‘instagramable’. And then I was like, forget it, that would ruin the moment and interrupt the feel of the ‘now’. Haven’t pulled out my phone to capture such moments since 🙂

RTO may or may not but these are single handedly working to improve us as a driver and rider in our daily life.

This is the episode which justifies the name of the series. ThisConnect! It is thisConnect that both these stalwarts share with eachother and with all of us, that makes this entire community cumulatively better. They say riding is therapeutic, but since i haven't been riding for the last 4+ months following an injury, this has been the therapy i needed. Every weekend just like my morning rides! Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.

I first read as advice 'for' you , but when I recognised it was FROM us , my heart melted to know such a community orientated channel actually existed for us indian folks or any folks for that matter . Haven't seen a creator interact this much with their audience on this platform. Much respect and appreciation 🎉

I believe I improved greatly as a driver ever since I subscribed to MotorInc. There have been so many life lessons that made me a better person too. I've been following some of these tips innately but when I started consciously focusing on these actions/behaviours, my driving has increased exponentially. Thanks again MotorInc and to all those that dropped in their advice. Time to breathe.

There are so many "jinx, jinx again" moments. We need atleast a trilogy of this "advice" series. The analogy of calmness can be explained with computers; an idle CPU is better than a CPU churning out heat.

Shumi - I love aggressive, fast and edgy motorcycles. Also Shumi - Super calm once off the bike and in generic life. That’s a great balance ❤

I would like to add one advice which i saw in some old video(not sure of whose) , "Three seconds rule", no matter the speed the traffic infront of you is moving, maintain the distance which is 3 second away. Like the white line which that vehicle just crossed should reach you three second later, thats the safe distance. The distance increases naturally with time. Such a brilliant advice, panic breaking(god forbid) is also not so panicked afterall, you will have safer distance to be taking command of the situations. Thankyou. Please keep up the good work. 💪🙏

I could happily watch these two gents go on and on about almost anything. Being an automotive enthusiast and content writer myself, I cannot even begin to count the number of times I’ve nodded and smiled my way through so many of these conversations. Cheers, guys.😊

Absolutely right on the diagnostic issue.I changed my sprocket set twice, but the cracking sound from the chain would not reduce at all. Visited multiple garages, Yamaha showroom but everyone seemed to think chain was the problem. One day while changing tyre the sprocket bearing fell apart on the ground , it was broken to pieces. Then I realised that sprocket has a bearing which had broken off , changed it and no sound from a long time.

Just came back home from a long bike trip to Ladakh Crashed twice ( by myself no other person was involved), and dropped the bike once when I was trying to park Had lots of fun, lots of irritation, and learned a lot One of the best parts of these episodes I like is the stories and experiences, I would love to see an episode without any specific agenda but with some cool stories.

As someone already said in the video, this is something which I do for extremely long solo rides. It can be really tiring to constantly judge the roads and surroundings for hours on the go. So what I do is find a "guide vehicle". A guide vehicle is usually a car on the road driving at my pace, which I can follow conveniently from a safe distance. If it brakes, i know I have to brake, if it sways I know there's a pothole coming. It really takes away like 90% of the load from my brain. Also guide vehicles are really helpful for driving in the nights as well.

Don't mistake them for just riding/driving advises because this is an automotive channel. These are life lessons. ❤

The best advice I got about riding and driving was from Shumi. Something which is very simple but extremely helpful. "Look where you want to go." This advice changed my riding and driving thoroughly. Thanks Shumi for this.

Opinions are like noses, everybody has one ( except Voldemort). I heard a quote somewhere, which stuck to me till date - "fools rush in where angels fear to tread"... and about that justifying part... whatever motorcycle anyone has, if they ride well... they are doing a great job... ., Thank you guys for sharing all the different perspectives of the motorinc community. Always something to learn.
