Royal Enfield - My Number Plate

Hi,
I'm Kamal Sharma.
Thanks for visiting my Number Plate. I live in Mumbai, India . Just want to thank everyone, because you all make my life beautiful.

Quote: Even though life seems tough, and sometimes gets rough. Just enjoy the time you have now. Life is too short, and has many up and downs, but in the end we will all be Happy. Have a positive attitude and always smile. Sometimes you have to run that extra mile. Live your life to the fullest.

I Believe In: I believe in God, LOVE,True Friendship.

Things I Like: I like meeting new people and Riding Raven(Deluxe 350 - 9090) on weekends.

Dont know when and how i developed this love and passion for bikes, Started riding my hero honda passion and my brothers Karizma on weekends with my friend, as time passed upgraded my self to Royal Enfield. And eventually this madness increased day by day with the begining of www.bombaybikers.com

My First Ride on Royal Enfield:

I remember we were heading to Trambakeshwar in Nov 2006, and my bike(hero
honda) was not starting, So took my bike to mechanic, My Mechanic allow me
to take some of his customers Royal Enfield, by the time he fixes my bike.

This was first time when i rode a Bullet. I was never attracted toward bullet
till the day i rode it. There is something in these Machines which i always
wonder. Now i have stopped wondering what it is and started enjoying and feeling the Nirvana of the thump.

My First Royal Enfield (MH01C9090):

After my Trambakeshwar ride, I started looking for a Bullet for myself. I
came across my friend Kiran Bhosale. Who was in school with me and had move
to Delhi for police traning. His Dad (Shree Vasant Bapurao Bhosale) was also
a cop and had a Royal Enfield. Had ?? Yes Had.. He is no more with us, expired
of heart attack.

His Family had kept this Bullet as his memory since he loved this bike so
much that he didnt wanted to part from this bike and treated this bike as
a part of his family. When i asked Kiran if he wanted to sell it off to me.
He said he cant sell it since it is a part of their family. But i can take
it and use it till the time i want it to.

This bike was standing and runsting since last 4 Years. I restored this bike
and i call her Raven (Since i painted it all black including crash guard,
handle bar and silencer), today i love Raven (Deluxe 350) as much as his ex-owner
did.
Other than Bike and Computers I like to listen to music Very Much. I Like
Bon Jovi also try to strum 6 strings when i have free time.
For those who don't know me I am laid back may seem rough at times but I
think I am quiet funny you just have to get to know me. I have learned a lot
and made some cool friends since I hit the highway with Raven.
Things I Don't Like: I hate politics. I don't like people that have no respect
for others or that take advantage of another's misfortune. I don't like being
broke.
Special People: Every one in my life is Special to me.
Some of them are: Lucky (My Brother), Bombay Bikers ( My Best Friends ), Simi (My Love), My parents.

I LOVE YOU ALL

About Bombay Bikers

Bombay Bikers was formed on July 2006 with the desire to ride free wherever, whenever.

Bombay Bikers is an informal group of friends with a passion for biking. We welcome any motorcycle and encourage riders to be confident of their ride and riding. The speed is immaterial; it is the ride and company that matters. We ride in formation or in teams. A lead rider stays in front and the others keep pace. No man is left behind and there will always be someone to lend a hand when you need it.

Most of our trips are within 150 KM distance from Bombay. The idea is to ride for a weekend getaway and reach home the same day or next day, But distance has never stopped us from riding where we want to go. Independence Day Ride to Trambakeshwar Temple this year was almost 350 KM to and fro; done in a single day’s riding.

Emphasis is on enjoying riding your favorite wheels on a long trip, seeing new places around Bombay-Thane-Navi Mumbai, honing your mechanical talent and discovering trusty friends. The ride usually has enough breaks for a newbie to stay focused. Riders who want to stay on the safe side and leisurely pace always catch up at these halts.

‘Why Motorcycles?’ you may ask. ‘Why not?’ Motorcycles let you feel the road, breathe the atmosphere, live the location, you are one with your environment. The thrill of riding is only known to the rider. Join us and find your destination, en route we will rock the weary roads.

Bombay Bikers web site has the Announcement section where new rides are announced regularly. You can discuss your doubts on the forum and confirm attendance online. Meeting point is decided with more than one location if people ride from different parts of Bombay. You can view links to photo albums of previous trips and a list of rides we have done over the past months at our web site.

Safety is key element on biking tours and we suggest proper riding gear – from helmet, jackets, boots to spares, tools and cash. It is best to regularly service your bike and ride it for a few days to test it before going on a long ride.
Outside city limits mechanics and spares are rare, but our riders are always there to assist you as mutual co-operation. We have even setup a Virtual Garage where we can all learn and teach common bike repairs. Do-it-yourself is the way to go but fellow riders will be there with you throughout.

We expect that our riders love their bikes as much as riding bikes. So you should maintain your wheels well. There is no restriction as such on make/model of bike for nearby rides, in and around Bombay. But for long haul trips like 2008 planned trip to Ladakh it is best to have a higher capacity vehicle like a Bullet or 200+ cc bike and the same is suggested.

A machine needs servicing, clean oil, enough fuel and any of the current Indian bikes do well enough on trips that we do. In fact a Caliber was with a pillion on the trip to Trambakeshwar (near Nashik), so don’t worry about the sturdiness of these bikes. They can go the distance and some more. If you carry spares it will be a good investment and even if they are unused after the trip, they remain a good asset for the future.

We expect that the members we have update their profiles and stay connected. Profiles that are defunct or unreachable are discarded. Numbers don’t mean a thing; it’s the active participation on trips that’s the bottom line. We even collect details such as Emergency contacts, Blood group and allergies to be prepared.

Fellow enthusiasts who can’t ride the sometimes rough routes we pick can always ride pillion and enjoy the outing. The primary objective is having break from routine life like work / study on weekends.
All are welcome as we come together for a journey that stays with you a lifetime.
