FLOOR IT

ALMOST AS ADDICTIVE AS A MOTORCYCLE

The Ignis had its holiday while I was off to Tibet for two weeks, and I had enough of off-road driving, so the second I got back, I set off in the little puppy. Boy, this car never fails to please. I filled the boot with luggage, and the rest of it with my family, and went for a long drive to a hill station. No complaints from my passengers. Mom is particularly fond of how it looks, externally as well as the interiors. My brother is a fan of how it sounds once you get the revs up. But none of them know the hooligan it can be, which is why I took it on a few work trips to Pune and back. Normally, ALMOST AS ADDICTIVE AS A MOTORCYCLE Koregaon Park is about 3-3.5hrs from my home. I was there in two. So there is nothing new to say, other than I would love to own this car. Ok maybe there is something new, the washer fluid pump seems to have developed an issue sometime back, and there is a weird clunk emanating from the front left suspension at very slow speed bumps, both of which I want to ignore, because I don’t want to part with the Ignis even for the short period it will need to get checked up, but I think I really should wise up and get it done. Sigh. Promise you’ll send it back Maruti?

HISTORY CHANNEL

When I'm around old motorcycles, I often find myself wondering what it must've been like to be born in an earlier time. Wondering, mind you, not wishing. I wonder what it was like when mankind invented the motorcycle. I wouldn't want to get anywhere near the first motorcycle, the Daimler Reitwagen (the word means 'riding car', stupidly enough), made by German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1885. To quote Melissa Holbrook Pierson, 'The first motorcycle looks like an instrument of torture.' And something that might cause an explosion uncomfortably close to one's nether regions. Right after it's shaken loose every healed bone in one's body.
