what are the basic requirements needed if im going on a bike trip to south india?

Alex

Answer
You need an international drivers license good for bikes, and of course your visa, that's it. Keep in mind riding a bike in India is insanely dangerous - the traffic is totally nuts here, you will be having a number of close calls on your life every day. Do make sure you have a good health insurance. Also plan to bring protective clothing, once you see the traffic and road conditions you may want to wear such stuff even though its hot...

Guess you want to rent a bike? Check the bike yourself before you start off and make sure it is properly registered and insured, take copies of everything. You may also want to bring a decent helmet, the ones you get in India are of lousy quality - I would not trust them.

Motorcyle laws in India?

Zzzz Zzzzz

What is required to legally ride a small engine motorcycle in India as an American tourist? I'd like to use a motor bike as my main means of transportation.

Thanks

Answer
your question is not clear? yu wish to bring a motorcycle to india or just ride a motor cycle in india as a main means of conveyance?
if you want to ride a bike as a means of conveyance, you can buy one in india costing around $800 or more aternatively you you can buy a secondhand bike and run it

prerequisites: a valid RC, tax payment, insurance , polution certificate and ofcourse a valid driving licence(in some states helmet is not mandatory, but is always advisable)
i dont think it is worth bringing a bike all the way to india , get it certified by the RTO etc , instead you may buy/hire one here

Receding hairline!!! i am 19 years of age?

best bike helmets in india image

Dillusioni

i am 19 y.o guy from India! Ok, so some two years back my hairline started receding and it came to my notice sometime after it had receded a bit ! it became a cause of worry for me and i suffered from low self esteem ! but after that it didn't receded and its constant from past 2 n half years !
my dad is bald in middle of head but he says that was due to overusing helmet while riding on bike all the day in his young age! rest my paternal grandfather,uncles have heads full of hair even one of them being around 70 in age!
and from my maternal side the same story my maternal uncles,aunts,grandparents had and have heads full of hair even at older age!
is there a chance that i will lose my hair in young age? Like baldness or in middle of head? like when i will be around 26 27? its worrying me a lot

Answer
Get your haircut short like a french crop style or something and take a picture sideways on, 6 months later get the same hair cut, take another picture the same way and compare photos. It's pretty unlikely you're receding at 19, not everyone has a straight low hairline, I think the shape of yours has probably got you worrying.The main thing to watch out for (what I wish someone had told me as I had no clue) is any sign of thinning anywhere on the area where people eventually bald to. It probably won't suddenly jump back more in the same way as it's done now but if it's progressing you'll eventually be able to find some thinner areas. That's where really short hair helps to see what's going on.You are still growing. Its perfectly normal for your body to be changing. We all worried about our looks constantly when we were teenagers. You are perfectly normal. There is nothing wrong with it. Keep going to the doctor or a dermatologist every 6 months to see if he thinks you are a candidate for male pattern baldness. This way if you do develop it when you get older , then take his advice here. good luck

Pro's and Con's of Motorcycles?

Zach B

Im fixing to move out for college, and Im thinking about getting a motorcycle for commute back and for to class/work. Pro's? Con's? Opinions? Reviews of different bikes?

Answer
Motorcycles are a lot of fun, plus they have many advantages--easier on gas, easier to park. They're not the greatest in bad weather, but I went to college on a bike for a couple of years, rain and shine, and it wasn't that big of a problem. (Of course I live in California where it rarely rains and never freezes).

If you only want to commute to school and work you don't need anything particularly big or powerful. Unfortunately, motorcycles in the US and Canada are not seen as transportation devices but as recreation devices, so there aren't a lot of smaller, more utilitarian bikes as there are in, say, India or Japan. There are a few, like the Ninja 250 or the Honda Rebel, but even they are more about style than transportation.

There are also motor scooters that are better for transportation. Low center of gravity, auto transmission, very easy to ride. A scooter might be a better choice as simply a transportation device than a 'real' motorcycle.

Anything Japanese is a good bet. All the Japanese manufacturers make a very good product. Anything less than 10 years old you'll have no trouble getting parts for. 250cc or less will get you around town just great, but if you want to do long distances at high speed I'd say 500-650cc to start with. My first bike was a 200cc scooter, and I got it just to go to school, but I loved it so much I found myself going for long rides in the country on weekends. It was adequate for that but then I wanted something bigger. Just for transportation, though, 150-250cc is great.

You will have to get a motorcycle license, which is easy or hard, depending on where you live. You'll need a helmet, jacket and gloves, at a minimum. I would recommend getting something used, you don't want to learn to ride on a shiny new bike. You should have health insurance, not meaning to frighten or discourage you, but things happen.
