Wrong guess !! hey this is getting interesting

durbin ;- is it the front telescopic shocks on a bike

Dear Sahir - you are correct. "pata" is leaf spring. The correct name for "cut out" is voltage regulator. The "dholki" is not the spark arrestor, it is the main muffler. Now try all the others. It is not easy because very few people know it.

Best regards,

Should I answer:

It is nothing but a cut tube used to protect between RIM and Tube. It is nothing than that. When in puncture shop you can see in truck tyres they remove a cut circular tube above RIM. It generally protects tube from rust.

In motorcycle and in cycle it protects tube from Spoke head.

AM I CORRECT ? My answer is correct as at my hometown Langot word used very frequently by puncture shops

Mudflaps - thats the word i was looking for and look how I ended up trying to explain about the mudflaps- "..rubber thingies on the fender which the old cars used to have to prevent water splashing. "

. Sometimes people do get toungue-tied dont they, sometimes the word just lingers on in your mind but you really can put the finger on it. ha..ha..
