Nice & sweet videos. Well made

Btw, in the second video at the 7:00 mark her first fall, always remember in a small or big fall, even if everything looks ok, DO NOT try to suddenly get up and stand on your feet. Always go one step at a time sitting on the ground & check everything is ok, all movements of hands and feet and sensation are all ok and then get up. Otherwise you can end up aggravating some small muscle or ligament or bone damage etc.
Anyway, for all of us bikers any fall is a learning experience and it only makes us more confident for future, so I guess her confidence has increased after that

Will definitely keep this in mind.

Oh absolutely, at the end of the day, she was worried only about the scratches on her Dio

By the way, she dropped her bike on Day 2 as well

Eagerly waiting for this, an ardent follower of your rides and updates.

This video shows the importance of riding gears, even though it was a minor fall, if not the protection the injury would have been too much, especially the face part.
Now I can show this video to my colleagues and make them mouth shut for commenting on my ATGATT formula.

Thank you so much for your advice, Haroon Sir. Coming from a such an experience rider like you, would definitely keep this in mind for future.

Thanks for liking our rides and travelogues. Please do keep support, helps to keep us motivated. And as you rightly pointed out, gears all the time while riding is a must. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Hi, interesting thread indeed. I'm also looking for a pre-loved Versys as well. On the fender fixing part, I need a reference - someone who can drill a perfect hole without putting scratches on my bike (It's a Honda). Can you plz inbox me the number and address of a reliable guy? Thanks in advance

What's with CB350 owners graduating to the Versys 650? I already know of 4 people in Bangalore over the last 3-4 months including me who have done it.

[Sebring]

YouTube influencers like Pradeep and Vinay to be thanked I guess Dear friends of mine. Technically - CB 350 is a mileage monster (Long rides), and Versys carves up the countryside, so both bikes in my garage connecting both sides of the spectrum (Or, that's the plan atleast, but the current 'Lockdown' has put spanner in the works)

Its the opposite man.

CB350 for the country side rides, easy as Sunday morning if i can borrow a phrase.

The Versys for the long hauls. Always.

Get one and ride them both and you'll see what i mean.

I was speaking from mileage POV. Petrol being dearer

Why not the Honda CB500X? Just asking out of curiosity.

[Sebring]

I dont know anyone who bought this bike. so assuming not-so-great sales, spares could be an issue. Besides its just slipped off the radar

Have a good look at the Triumph Trident and Ducati Scrambler. Interesting options considering that your use case is limited to breakfast and joy rides.
Versys is past its age if you were to look at it today.

[jaganm]

It’s the same with me, i too picked up the Versys a couple of weeks before the lockdown hit and I’ve just been content to ride it to the grocery store 500m away a couple of times. My group has a long trip planned in July to experience the monsoon, hoping we can make it.
