- The first episode of PowerDrift’s new series #TheBucketList posed a lot of questions about how to go about touring, especially when the goal is to go a long distance in a day. Shumi goes live to break it down into a process we use to make it simple and as efficient as possible. Welcome to PowerDrift Live!

He is so inspiring ❤️ ... I have done 550 kms twice in a day in my TVS Apache 160 4V 😀 ... In 2nd trip, it was raining almost for 300 kms during a partial lockdown ... It was the best journey in my life
I wish my life was as exciting as Shumi's excitement for packing cubes.
hi za a w👌❤️💃❤️
video content aside... you turned off a/c or fan just to avoid noise in the video... kudos to you

I'd hear anything Shumi says. He's an inspiration to me.
Haha so true
💯🤟🏼🍺
Totally..
I know right?! This guy is really good
Same here
It's my Encyclopedia for my next Long distance tour. . If this pandemic would not have been there I would have just gone for long ride 😍. . He tried to cover up everything he could ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Shumi ❤️ #pdarmy #stayhome #staysafe
i ve never rode more than 50kms at a stretch..Nd for the first tym ever,this lockdown, i rode around 700kms(which i consider myself an achievement) in my mt15 to get to my new hospital whr i was posted..I was very nervous before the ride and was searching whole of youtube for tips..This video wud hav been very very helpful then..Nd I really enjoyed my ride except for the scorching sun and not a single restuarant on the way..Great Video Shumi..!!
love mt15 done a 800km ride with a friend great performance amd milage ride quality especially for beginners who upgrade from 100 to 200 even though mt15 is 155cc its awesome.
Experience and discipline speaks volume when Schumi talks. Have been following him since a kid when he was with OD. So much of knowledge and experience and so much to learn from him!
Almost one hour and the video feels short.
So much knowledge delivered with such enthusiasm 😍
Thanks a lot shumi for this goldmine of a session..I was in to long distance biking in 2005-2008..and cd100 was my bike. But in those days cars were not so powerful. Those were days when you could really enjoy a good ride as bike touring was not a common thing.
Going through the video for the nth time. Every time its imparts a new confidence. Looking back, we did Delhi - Udhampur (approx. 750kms) on tbe first day of our Ladhak ride and Manali to Delhi (600 kms) on the last day of the same trip on CBR250, Duke 200 and Pulsar 220. It was exhausting but was exciting.
Underrated 🤍
U know wat shumi ....I feel ur gold standard for riders in terms of biking cheers man !!!!
Man being a straight guy I developed feelings for him 😂😂
My father is a huge fan of driving, we've done 1000-1800 km drives several times and the only debate we have throughout the drive is he drives similar to what your driving style is and I drive similar to what Akshay's is and listening to your reasons of why you drive that way literally felt as if it's my dad and you are in on the script lmao
Hey you folks make great videos. I'm having trouble finding any answers on a coupla topics :
- The best bike for hill life... Say if I'm based in the Himalayas, not the plains. Typically - lots of cornering, very little high speed riding, lots of bad roads on incline/decline, high altitude, low temps, rain snow and sleet, rare servicing.
- The best bike for 2-person touring in the hills... Say if me and a friend (with combined weight of ~150kg) go trekking and bike to the basecamp, with a coupla rucksacks of 30kg/60L each. Again, the points above will mostly apply. But pillion comfort, luggage mounting options and infrequent low-speed falls also to be considered.
What would you recommend?
Hey Shumi, could you go a bit slower when you mention names of the products you recommend/use? I love these podcasts. The tons of useful off topic information keeps me on my toes. :D
Only reason I enjoyed this 1hour long video so much is because of Shumi. Really enjoy watching this man talk. Big fan since saw you first in overdrive.
Prabal Bordoloi Thank you Prabal!
Just 2-3 mins after 1hr the audio went off, for the 1st time I have seen a 1hr video on youtube without breaks and fast forwards
I have done 135km stretch rides either from home to work or work to home in different motorcycle like Himalayan, fz, classic 350, ns 200, mt15, and Yamaha libero g5 and these bikes has different performance comfort etc... and i find the 106 cc libero g5 gave me most comfortable riding posture and seating comfort considering others. While Himalayan gave best pillion comfort and cursing speed at highway are better because of suspension wind shield etc.. and was thrilled by performance of mt15 and ns200, while 350 and fz are better at low at speeds (40 to 60) in highways (note the point highways out here are not super as like in another's States ,but somehow we are adjusted to the scenarios). So it doesn't actually matter the cc of bike every time all matter how experience are u with bikes mind and body and how well u have planned and packed is your long distance touring. #Enjoy the ride rather than rushing in to redlines. Find #your comfort zone in budget, health, food, packaging the stuff, speeds, company's (friends or group) stops or refreshments backup plans service and maintenance, route time etc... All matter is the #attitude what you want and how do you #behaves to achieve the goal. Be a #passionate, #responsible, #productive and #socially wellbeing human and a rider.#Learn everytime when you are on a motorcycle, because each time these #lovely mechines teaches the perceptive of beautiful world and human out here in different angles when roads hits you . Onces paradise is where he is and it is achieved just by working towards ur aim through behaving yourself. At the end #memories is are left for you.
If my word's or views are wrong #forgave me.
#Hope everyone is doing well #stayhome #stayhealthy .Hope for fast cure in covid19 pandemic.
30:18-30:25How to repair a tubeless puncture in seven seconds!!! 😃😃😃😃
32:32 ♥ this is the "WHY"!
What a session....
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED...👍
India is LAND of beautiful Roads- Fully Agree....
Your podcasts are really helpful in improving my riding skills. Thank you
Happy to hear that Rajiv! Stay tuned for more.
Great session @shumi ! I’m myself planning to travel to Nagpur on my Ninja650 after this lockdown ends which is around 900km from Pune. This would be my 2nd time, 1st time was with my Classic 350 which was not super planned but I think this time it would be much better. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions 👍🏻😊
Even if i wont do long distance in future, listening about it was great. Tips about how to manage time, back and other pains was very nice. Thank you so much. This is the first video from which i started watching power drift.
Thanks shumi
Mind blowing explanation Shumi ..really appreciate your level of understanding and the nuances of infonuggets on each segment..huge shout out 🌹🌹👍
Nice paced , full enthusiastic and informative ...really enjoyed...even after decades of touring myself....awesome shumi 🤘🏼👍
you have touched almost all the aspects of long distance touring.very informative video.should have got a million views by now.sadly some irrelevant and stupid touring vlogs get more views and likes than they deserve.anyways keep up the good work of educating masses on bike related issues and saving their life and limb.used to read ur texts in overdrive magazines if i am not wrong for a very long time.
Just pausing and commenting about what u said on Group dynamics..... (Into the deep) .... Very closely monitored shumi 👌👌 now continuing again😉
I can listen to Shumi & Michael Neeves talk all day
Great job Shumi - you speak your mind and share from your treasure trove of experience. Respect ✊ and lots of love bro
Absolutely fentastic! What a passion u have on raiding bikes even after 20yrs!🙆♂️👍👏🙏
Ur energy levels, passion n attention to details makes anyone get motivated either on riding or on the work wat they r doing!!!
Keep up the good work 👍 tc
According to you which will be the idle bike under 250 cc category if I get to choose between MT-15 and Ktm duke 250 and why please do suggest.....
Too much info👍👍 @shumi- ur d ocean of knowledge when it comes to motorcycles and related stuff, always a huge fan👍👍
Amazing video, thank you so much for this.
There is so much to learn from experienced riders like you.
Been following you since the OD days
All of the podcasts are such a great resource for all the new riders joining this community
All the best for all your future endeavours
Shumi is the BEST..
Where is the link of bike riding school he was talking about?
I too don't waste time on luxurious foods, I just get a roti with daal or boiled eggs with coffee rather than having maggie or momos or any fast food as it makes me feel heavy on stomach while riding...
Only once I had red bull twice as I had a long stech of 900+km from Srinagar to Noida which consist 300km of mountainous curves roads which took around 8 hours to get over then remaining 600km I did in 12 hours that day I didn't had any food other than what I had at breakfast because it would make me feel sleepy so I only took liquid diet such as coffee or tea with biscuits and redbull
Can you make a video on riding gears? A know how of accessories from top to bottom along with brand recommendations. Not only motorbike companies but also individual manufactures have their presence in this market thus making difficult to accessorise.
See thats the thing , if u can talk like this about biking and at the same time listen to something like this for almost 75 mins , biking is life and life biking🧘🏼♂️😍
You have such amazing and sensible advise. Just discovered your channel and I have been binge watching ! If all bikers listened to you they would have an great experience and also for others.
9:24 Just Shume can do this.... going away in between a video to get a packing cube 😂
This is like "Manna" for riders 😁 Thank you Shumi👍🙏
Great live cast! Trying to find the links mentioned in the video. Where are they?
22.20 palakkad ♥️, love from idukki, Kerala
How do you clean & lube the bike chain on a very long multi day ride without a main stand. Specially on a heavy adventure bike. For home based I know the paddock setup works. But on a long ride when on the go? Any hacks there? I think Bret Tcaks had once mentioned a single side rudimentary stand which props it up via the paddock bobbin but keen to hear how you might address this. Thank you.
Great content ! Shumi sir a guiding star in motorcycle world. Thank you Sir for the knowledge.
Thanks a ton
Sorry for the late view. Shumi that will be helpful. Will keep that in mind. Thanks you PoweDrift , Shumi and Akshay to put this up.
I went through the whole video after one year of it being published. Great inputs. Thank you
Great energy and enthusiasm. Wow!
😊 really informative, worth spending the time... & U guyz have grate🏁 knowledge & skills, The way u look at things really puts a smile on my face...❄️
I believe this is how an enlightening auto journalist looks like , love you Shumi sir ❤
Shumi looks stylish in that haircut
Thank you Schumi and PD. This was great :)
This guy is pure class.
30:18 - 30:25 सात सेकंड में एक ट्यूबलेस पंचर की मरम्मत कैसे करें !!! 😃😃😃😃
All the information a motor bike enthusiast would ever need.
Thanks for the information!!!
Amazing man, You guys inspired me to go for long trips and enjoy life. I am one of those nerds who sits in front of a laptop or a computer screen and play video games when get bored lol 😂😂.
Wow Shumi wowwww......lot of content in single video ..just loved it man...we need more such videos ....loved it Shumi
There's more live sessions planned, Venkatesh! Hope to see you then!
Meanwhile, the second episode of The Bucket List airs this Sunday. Do tune in to the premiere : th-cam.com/video/W8soCj6wbX4/w-d-xo.html
@@powerdriftofficial always tuned to PD. Coz this my only genre. Love the way you guys giving content even during this kind of tough situations in our country. One day I would love to work with you guys
Venkatesh Pinapala Thank you for watching! I’d lots of fun chatting with you guys too!
Damn. So much to learn. Thank you so much. Need to enroll for the lessons.
PowerDrift has come a long way in my perticular liking.
Shumi is a baller always puts out information that helps us to learn and get to know bikes better.
Thank you Shumi for doing this. I watched it the second time and this time I took notes. That's just way too much knowledge. Probably do another soon? :) and avoid the already answered questions this time ;)
Your views are very helpfull thanks, I would like to know more about hill riding? Any special gears for off roading / hill roads?, Is there any modifications need to do for offroadings?
Punctured kit.
Electric pump machine.
Tool kit, should have basic idea of machanics.
Thermal waterproof jacket.
Riding boots.
Tent.
Thanks for this video
How would we enjoy the ride if we go at 100kmph? Like seeing the scenery or something
Like everything else, you’ll get used to the speed and then being able to see the scenery becomes easier
Again Best Informative Video. Really Appreciate ur Hard Work and Contents.
Shumi many thanks to you for this prolific exposition. Absolute gold standard stuff...One query... You use Arai RX7V extensively. Is it absolutely the best for touring or is there any other Arai helmet that is more suited for touring. Comfort and massive levels of ventilation are the most important QRs
Thanks
Thank you so much ❤
amazing session no words just wow
Shumi is legend. Awesome video.
This 1 hour video from Shumi is more informative than all content put together from all the motorcycle journalists.
I liked instantly after u pronounced bengaluru. ....
Shumi is jus brilliant
Joined late, but loved the podcast.
Not only because I like Automobile🏳️ stuff, but even as a person u & your team feels responsible & mature..
& Seem to have a good character, which is a imp thing 😊
⚕️
we need more of your 2000s ride stories!
is there a riding gear by shumi video on yt ?
Thanks Shumi
Shumi got best voice
please answer about earphones while riding
Love the way he say , Bengaluru instead of Bangalore.
Just superb. Nice session. 😃😃
30:18-30:25
#Howtorepairatubelesspunctureinsevenseconds!!! 😃😃😃😃
Great content but Pls add pictures, small supporting videos to make it more presentable and digestible.
Hi, can we have some update on the 2020 Versys 650 please ?
I want to know why all famous motor journalists(I don't know if it's the right term to use) are here in powerdrift now? Just a curious question.
Regardless of the reason, powerdrift is getting better and better day by day
Subin Paul I couldn’t find this much passion anywhere else. So here I am.
I understand. Keep making good content for TH-cam. Happy that y'all are here because I believe TH-cam is more democratic compared with all channels and flix-prime-stars out there.
Subin Paul 😁
We need live Q&A sessions more often, ngl.
Excellent video ... Such a great learning ... Enjoyed it thoroughly ...
Glad it was helpful!
We have more videos lined up, Pritom!
@@powerdriftofficial and I will patiently wait for them ...
Can i ride 650km on my passion pro in a day???
Did anyone ask questions about fuel pumps? Indian oil versus HP etc. Are there things to watch out for when deciding on where to fuel on a long ride.
Shell
Very informative ! Thanks ! :-)
Thank you so much for this!!!! 😉
Good one Shumi... Thanks much 🤘
There's more coming up! Make sure you stay tuned to our social pages.
Welcome!
Super educative... Thanx #shumi #powerdrift #pdarmy
Awesome sir
I feel Iron Butt is of no use actually. Be it any country. I mean, we all ride for pleasure, exploring and freeing our minds off, not for doing records and gaining popularity doing so. That risk makes no sense imo.
Vishnu Simba I agree with you. But the beauty of humanity is that we all think different and have our own perspectives on these things.
i did 450 KM with honda twister XD
took me arround 13 hours
58:16 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I dont know when I am going to do long rides and this video made me that I am going to
