Try normal bikes like Glamour (old) , Pulsar 150 (normal variant), Unicorn and CBZ Xtreme (old) (best/perfect for single and pillion). You might really enjoy the pillion company on above category bikes as they are well balanced and mostly designed to carry a pillion perfectly. The rest of the bikes of below capacity would make the ride heavier and uneasy and above CC bikes might rob your planned enthusiastic/fun dhoom wala ride. Atleast its my experience in riding normal to heavy cc bikes.
Question: It's recommended to grip/squeeze the tank with your knees while riding. I ride a retro classic: Honda CB350 and find it not as natural/easy to do so as compared to a sports bike. Please tell whether the same thing applies to street retro classic bikes as well? And if yes, kindly tell how. On another note, I have inculcated a habit of riding on the balls of my feet and i do so all the time! PS: Please make a Q&A series! No one to answer tons of Qs we have as riders trying to get better! Thank you :)
I really liked when you talked about Aarti ma'am and how she enjoyed each and every moment with you on the motorcycle! The sparkle in your eyes says how much you enjoyed seeing her enjoying the ride. ☺️
Awesome series ....love the way u explain...keep it u...... But where is blockbuster wala series.......it's been quite a long time TATA safari has been launched even XUV 700 has come....... missing it
All this is great but please explain how to balance the bike when the pillion is sitting sideways!! It feels so unbalanced that riding feels dangerous.
Great video Shumi! The video misses on one interesting subject - How to ride or balance a motorcycle when the pillion sits in chair like position (across the seat)? Some tips will be really useful for those want to carry women wearing saree as pillion. I once felt like falling and losing balance at a road turn when taking my sister in saree during a festival :D
Loose grip on handlebars a must. The bike will lean naturally to adjust for the weight imbalance. That lean is your new normal now. ...or just ask her to sink herself a bit towards her back, and sit straight. Just maintain a loose grip on handlebars and be comfortable with how the bike feels.
When i ride people say " i use accelerator a lot and different RPM for each gear and not linear acceleration and rmp for every gear " is that a bad thing
Hey Power Drift Sir.. advice me going to buy a helmet and confused which one to buy...quick rachet opener or double d ring ... system..because helmet because we don't buy helmet frequently...normal rider...but want a future proof advice?
Hi! Shuuuuuuumi, Please suggest me which one would be good for me.. I'm 5"7' and in love with duke250 since I took test ride but that's a lot (money) so I am confused, As a daily commuter my run is 50 to 130 kms everyday, depends on where I am going.. I need performance with back comfort. Please help..
Hey are we getting bs6 fuel in India?? We r getting bs6 vehicles..but what abt fuel..also after this ethanol blend I see a considerable drop in my nexon petrol vehicle( my usage pattern or regular office route has no change ) nu avg dropped from 14-15 to 10-11 in last 2 months.. what could be wrong..any video on bs6 fuel
Very nice explanation Shumi! Can you make a simplified video of drum brakes vs disc brakes? What's the reason they are still selling drum brakes vehicles/scooters?
I am not sure whether there is any video regarding how to extract more mileage from the motorcycle. If no then it would be really good if we get a video on this. I see alot of ppl riding their bikes like shit. They just pull the throttle wide open regardless of which gear they are in. Also most of the ppl dont down shift while reducing the speed or stopping the vehicle. They just take off the vehicle in whichever gear it was in by pulling the throttle improperly to get the bike moving, giving half clutch. This increases alot of fuel burning as well as burning the clutch.
Great content as usual Shumi. Tips for pillions (mostly Indian moms) who sit with their legs on the same side would be great. Though I have quite perfected such pillions since last 14 years or so, tips on how to manage the weight will make it even better.
Hey Powerdrift, I have a small request/idea shumi should cover what equipment should be checked, what to carry, what not to carry when preparing for a long road trip ....In short a 101 road trip guide either on Powerdrift podcast or simplified series. Thanks and alot appreciation for content you guys making 👍🏼
Nice one PD team. All the essential stuff in one compact video. Watched this one with the wife! Confirmed some existing SOPs and threw up some useful new ones.
Shumi plz make next video on “Torque curve” and how does it affects bike characteristics. Like power delivery, throttle response, vibrations, efficiency etc.
Hey team PD, could you please make a video on riding/driving basics? Even simple stuff like the importance of turn indicators or judicious use of the horn or high beam. I know this is quite a silly suggestion but honestly a large majority of people don't know the basics at all, especially when they obtain a driving license without any tests.
Is it possible for powerdrift to make a review of Royal Enfield Liquid gun engine oil ? I am hearing lots of pathetic review on the product and all are claiming to go for 3rd party same grade engine oil which will void the warranty in other hand .
Vey good presentation! But you missed an extremely important point : when there is very enjoyable breeze, the pillion tend to go to sleep if not engaged as much as possible. Anyway, they don't need to be so engaged by themselves and be active, sitting behind and that brings about incidental boredom. This boredom, combined with soothing breeze, makes a catastrophe!. One of my close friends, was on bike tour of Gujrat & Rajasthan with his wife, in around 2012. The wife (pillion), started feeling sleepy around the morning time, just after within an hour (after the start), tumbled on the road due to sleepiness and was very badly injured. Fortunately, the protective gears saved her life but she had to be in ICU for 5-6 days and was nursed back to near normal health in the next 3-4 months, with multiple fractures she suffers due to the fall, even at the speed of around 80 km/hrs. Please advise what can be the better ways to avoid such unfortunate incidents!!! Please!
Team PD, Greetings!! This is a really great series with good topic coverage. The videos definitely improved my riding experience. I would like to suggest a topic “tank slapper” or “speed wobble”. The reason I am raising this request is that PD is yet to cover it and second thing, I personally experienced it at a high speed. Luckily survived it! I would love to see a video related to this, the reasons of it happening and preventive actions to get out of it safely. It would definitely help someone out on the road.
This is the thing which I have observerd, other riders really dont get it. They will get RC200 or R15 and just cris cross the whole traffic acclerating a straight line with a girl on thier back. This message has to reach them.
Hey #PDArmy, make sure you share this with all the people who ride pillion often, and all those who ride with a pillion!

Who scripts these episodes? Spot on vocab, awesome presentation by shumi, Hail PD!
These aren’t scripted.
@@shu_mar damn!!! simply gold.
Told These things to my father , he got scared and angry and booked an uber
That’s good. People who can’t follow rules shouldn’t ruin the ride 😂

Definitely the hardest video to make for the Shumi..
god bless you sir

"Sack of Potatos" ... absolutely relate to this. I used call my friend a dead body on bike whenever he was a pillion.
"It's her choice."
The side stand technique is really new for me. And probably for me is the best. Thank you
8 million miles per hour! 🤣🤣🤣
Well said Shumi!
5:20 you've hurted a whole community called squids, shumi
Step 1 : Tell him/her to get a cab.
Step 2 : There is no step 2 😂
I wanted to impress a girl and got a “friend “
Was a fan but content quality is deteriorating,sad 👎

But where is blockbuster wala series.......it's been quite a long time TATA safari has been launched even XUV 700 has come....... missing it
i swear this is the only reason why i dont have a girfriend.
too many complex rules to teach & follow.
instead ride solo yolo
Sounds like a marriage advice. Considering partner's opinion over yours. 😂
I had so many very bad experience with point one when biker is not ready n pilion climbs up or down n I literally slips of my fit.n fall down.
Subject revision frm BSM circa '04-05, best times.
Thanks shumi
Too good man 🙌🏻
Thank u shumi for making this video.i am requesting this topic from a year,

Why do you do this?
Simple one update?
Coming shortly
Is it possible in this week?
Useless....
Apparently same goes for passengers in the car,bus or anywhere.. when you are driving.. and the passengers aren't comfortable. it's your fault..
Lmao..
Prof Shumi, last week I was heart broken after seeing your insta post ......later I understood and felt happy.
Stay safe and ride safe 🙂

Can you make a simplified video of drum brakes vs disc brakes? What's the reason they are still selling drum brakes vehicles/scooters?
Drum brakes are cost effective.
and don't forget the LED lights for disc and yellow lights for drum
Think of it as a sex education class and every word that Schumi said (especially towards the end) make so much sense 😉

Thanks brother 🙂👍 have a blessed week ahead. Ride safe Shumi👍
Regards from the Bombay roads
Thanks buddy, you just made me to look at a new form of love language. Just hearing you i felt like young indians are in good hands.
Or maybe I just like riding alone, and I make them scared or uncomfortable intentionally so that they don't want to ride with me again 😎
Can you talk about wobbling in motorcycle in next session
👏
Great content as usual Shumi. Tips for pillions (mostly Indian moms) who sit with their legs on the same side would be great. Though I have quite perfected such pillions since last 14 years or so, tips on how to manage the weight will make it even better.
Keeping it heavy on the right side
As the pillion is busy making the left side heavy
Well it's easy on motorcycle but harder on scooter cuz they have wide seat
When i ride my rr 310 on long rides, my hand goes numb .. does anyone have a solution to this?
Hi Shumi, this thing bout cranking the preload up. this is only applicable for motorcycles with Adjustability in suspension, right?
Preload adjustment is usually available on 98% of Indian bikes
Yes, of course. Most motorcycles do have preload adjustable rear shocks.
Very less people know how to sit as pillion rider than driving.
❤️❤️❤️ Shumi

Great information, but like to listen to it so if you club both the podcast and simplified together I would listen it in Spotify while working
We shall try for that!

Make a video or list on the best pillion motorbikes
Good. Makes a great deal of sense.
