Thread: Fuel Conservation - How Active ur?

ummm hopefully.....tht is still easier but to remember the series of numbers tht r banned......is a difficult thing !!!!

i still wish thy r able to do it!

This could be achieved, but may be we need different colour registration plates. One colour banned for certian specified days each month.

it is surprising to see how everyone of us (including me) are so active in following the most mind-numbing laws that are introduced.case here is the number plate color.
and talk abt driving with a helmet on........

LAWS are what make us civilized.
otherwise there would only be jungle law - survivaal of the fittest.
thats why we follow them, even if they are the most mind-numbing

of course laws are necessary..
but then whats your point??

Are you saying a law requiring helmets is a bad one?

Coming to present scenario...Fuel conservation is very important.
I have taken few steps like:

• Keep your vehicle in good condition,so that it gives good mileage.
• Always travel @ speed 40~50 KM/hr.
• Keep the air in the tyres full.

to add to that.
keep your windows closed and a/c on.
avoid jackrabbit starts. drive smoothly.
If you have cruise control, use it.
these three things also save fuel.

what!!!!
i use kbc helmets worth 8k and gloves from alpinestars worth 2.5k...
wearing helmets should notbe a law!! it should just be done!!
what i meant was all of us are so ready to to adopt a law as absurd as swapping colors.and the simplest safety guidelines are blown to smitherins everyday!!

This is how people should dress up for total protection ;-)

Farce in biking leathers.

I got them overseas from a long time back.

That's a Shoei RF800 helmet
First Gear Jacket
First Gear Overpant
Olympia Kevlar/Carbon fiber gloves
Alpinestars Sidi boots.

That whole thing weighs over 20 kilos and cost $2000 ;-)

i think back then shoei didnt have carbon fibre lids.they are pretty light and weigh less than 750gms....

great outfit anyways..
the sidi boots are unrecognisable though.nowadays its all colorful!!

and 2 grands!! man for that i would get agv and axo fullsuits!!!

I opted for the tough guy all-black look instead of the
colorful racer-boy look ;-)

ummm well here in india ppl until n unless theres rules n regulations no one is bothered n to implement these on ppl is a big thing........its jus mere carelessness n ppl dont tend to understnd things straight awya ....like these helmet rule only......thy had to be caught n fined for not wearing it.....i mean common its for ur own safety.....

^^ He just meant that the windows should be closed and the AC should be on, not the other way about ..

Keeping the RPM at about 2000 will also help (for diesel vehicles i guess).

@farce, you can even use that to extinguish Fire!!!!:lol:

nice outfit dude

...

1. Like they say "it is better to sweat than to bleed" ;-)
when you are riding fast the wind will keep you cool.
Actually to be honest most of the time I just wore
the helmet and jacket. The rest was just for the pic ;-)


2. just personal preference I guess. that and getting older.

3. No., I meant keep the AC on instead of opening the windows.
