Hi Aniket! Congratulations! That's great work indeed!

I identified with the way you described your technological evolution from paper to wood to metal. I really thank the stars for Aluminum which is really just the best metal to learn with. Plus the loss of your wooden molds. Invention I'm convinced is most acurately described as the triumph of sheer, persevering will over all the ways in which things can go wrong with a particular machine! The fates do make us take the long way sometimes. But in the end I bet you learnt from it all. Time is the only real problem.

Check out my blog for the theory and design of a new kind of flying machine I am in the process of building!

Great work Mr.Aniket Vardhan.
Can just imagine what trials you must have been through,but you've paid your dues.All that hard work bore fruit.
Now the 'real' good time of your life starts to flow.

I own a 84' Yamaha RD350.My plans involve having the RD350 engine in a go cart one day!
Good luck for the rest of your tinkering.Enjoy!

Where is one supposed to get the bikes custom fit with your engine in India?

And the cost estimates?

Btw, when you are doing the test ride on highway, the best sound is when you are hitting 40-60 mile/per hour.

Lovely

Time has changed. We don't need oil guzzlers. We need mini bikes which can go without fuel. If he can design a zero emission bike for commute we appreciate.

Absolutely. Those of us, who spent their child hood and youth, working their Butt right off, need to conserve every bit of energy / resource that we can, so that some can continue to reproduce like cockroaches. After all, we are not yet, the world's most populous country. How can we stomach this insult?

We must add more and more children to our population and keep on reducing our energy consumption.

Perhaps we should eat only twice in three days, so that we reduce both energy consumption and global heat generating waste, but woebegone he who does NOT produce at least six smaller roaches to carry on the fuckmily name forward.

Hey Arg. Ind.,

Finally, good to see someone with the language skills, dry satire bordering on cynicism, and a meaningful post too. Like, like!!
