Guess I was wrong.  
 My understanding was most chains have some protection against dust and stuff and doesn’t need constant maintenance. However bikes like Royal Enfield which purposefully use older styles don’t have any cover or protection and they definitely need to lube every two weeks

Oooooo got it. 
  
 Almost all bike now use open cover because it is safer than closed cover chain. In case if the chain breaks it will not stuck in the sprocket and skid the wheels.

Currently there is a alternative belt type modification for Royal Enfield bikes in the market.  
  
 I never tested how much life it gives or impact on the performance.

Staff Engineer

Only for bikes with open chain system or something. Like Royal Enfield

Almost all the bike now a days in open chain right? 
  
 Excluding some EV and harley's some bikes

There is an opinion on car and bike community that engine need to heat up before u can drive them. Is this true?

I think u can drive the car without even thinking abt operating temp or not and jst don't rev to redline after cold start.

Budget car recommendations

I have just shifted from Bengaluru to Gurgaon for a new opportunity. Apart from all the cultural differences, the biggest thing I have noticed in Delhi-NCR is the huge presence of 4 wheelers on roads. 

1. Is a car really that needed in Delhi (consider the Summers and Winters) or is it just a status symbol here?
2. If a car purchase does make sense, do you recommend a new/used car? My budget is INR 6L

PS: 
1. My office is 3kms one way from residence.
2. I only have 2 members in my family (my wife and I).
3. I already have a 400CC bike with me.
4. I may end up driving on weekends to the hills.

Looking forward to starting WFO. 
How long are you guys commuting to the office in a two wheeler?

 I've been renting pre COVID and now planning to go for a 45km-45km ride.

Which bike (scooter/motorcycle) and health issues like back pain?

Commuting to office in two wheeler

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Both environments have benefits and drawbacks. It really depends on your personality and goals.

In a large corporation, you’ll be surrounded by people with a wide variety of working styles, expertise, approaches and backgrounds. You’ll have access to more resources and responsibility will be shared with other team members. You will have opportunities available to you, but you’ll likely have to pursue them yourself unless you have a really good manager supporting you. Otherwise, it can be easy to become a cog in the machine. The pressure is generally lower and so is the recognition. You can screw up royally and you’ll probably just get moved to another project. Even if you don’t screw up, you may find yourself shuffled between projects.

In a startup, there will be more focus on you to deliver, train yourself and be independent. While you’ll likely be part of a smaller, more integrated team, there will be a much higher expectation that you can be self-motivated and deliver results. The learning opportunities that you have will be more along the lines of being tossed out of a plane with some fabric and a sewing kit and you’ll need to figure out how to make a parachute really quickly. The risks are higher, but so is the reward.

It’s like the difference between taking the bus or riding a motorcycle.

The bus is reliable and it will get you where you’re going, you have very little control over the specific bus, route, the driver, the other passengers, etc. You’re unlikely to get injured in a crash. It’s safe, minimal risk and ultimately putting your fate in someone else’s hands.

The motorcycle is fast, you’re in control every step of the way, you could easily get yourself killed if you do something stupid and if the weather, roads or other drivers get in your way, you’re not likely to get to your destination smoothly. But if you do, you’ll beat

Which one should i go for? 
Share your experience if you bought any of this bikes.

Want for touring and little off road, inclined towards himalayan 450.(soft signal)

Re himalayan, triumph scrambler or ktm 390 adv?

Out on a walk and the weather is all grey,
Saw a Gulmohar Tree blooming with beautiful red flowers.

Chose to sit down on a bench in the garden, 
While sipping some Rasna, saw some kids hurling stones towards a Mango Tree.

They were hoping to get some Mangoes, still green and waiting to ripen but that wouldn’t stop them.

And I wondered, our old social circle has now dispersed, some went abroad to study and others work in different cities. 

Some friends even live in the same city and you meet them for drinks or food sometimes.

But we seldom do anything outside of Food, Drinks and Music. Can’t think of anything outside of these three things that you and your friends do.

Maybe, I’ll take some initiative and explore more group sports. Because, I don’t want my weekends to be the same bar with the same food and the same music on loop for the rest of my youth.

What about you all? What do you guys do on the weekend outside of this?

Feeling the Blues this Weekend, what else do you all do apart from going out, drinking and eating food with your friends?

Too much water everywhere, mud everywhere, can't go anywhere peacefully, work is impacted, plans are impacted, okay, I get it it's important for agriculture, but how can someone like this weather that too away from home in city like Mumbai.

I feel winter is the best weather!

I hate Rains, what about you?

Millennial and Gen Z face mood swings due to multiple reasons. 

Generally I do below stuffs...

1. Listen to music or watch fav movies 🍿
2. Read a book 📖
3. Swimming or Gym or a sprint run. 
4. Biking at 20kmph and 80kmph also, both have separate zones.
5. Talk to parents or close friends.
6. Sleep
7. Sunsets or birdwatching

Attaching a snap of sunset from my today's bike trip, covered 130km in 2h. It feels so rejuvenating.

Watching reels/shorts is the last option.

What's your method for refreshment?
