Ethanol Blended fuel is proven to have an adverse effect on the engine. Its simple, its not as energy dense as petrol so it gives less mileage and it absorbs moisture from air so it kinda corrodes the engine from the inside. newer vehicles do come with ethanol compliance but thats got more to do with adjusting fuel ratio than battling science, i.e. it doesnt change mileage, performance and longevity of the vehicle.

We have one of the highest vehicle taxes in the world, from import taxes to road taxes to taxes on vehicle parts and so many numerous extra costs that we have to bear just to own a vehicle.

So its safe to say that the least we expect from our vehicle is longevity, we spend a lot more than the global average thinking that it will hold some of its value and believe that the increase in quality of life a personal transport gives you is worth that money.

News will tell you that our petrol imports will be down because of this decision but we aren't even prepared to produce enough ethanol to satisfy our consumption, so we will have to import that as well.

Now, in a country with a questionable public transport system that labels personal vehicle as a luxury expense. is it smart to blend ethanol to our fuel because other countries need to push their excess ethanol produce that they've invested so much on. Are we that daft to not be able to see whats happening here.

I have immense respect for anyone who puts a conscious effort on wearing at least a basic set of gear while commuting everyday because every other rider I've met has told me the exact same thing, yo ta mahango gear ho esto gear bhaneko ta ride jada matra lagaune ho ni broo.

As someone who has been riding for 10+ years I've taken quite a few falls and all of them have been inside the city. And highway ma gear is important because your speed is higher and the chance you injuring yourself in a case of an accident will be higher as well. But If you take a closer look at yourself or around you, you'll find that most falls do happen in the city where there are a lot of variables, yeah it might not be catastrophic but an injury is painful regardless. And riding gear would perfectly help you avoid that or at least give you a better chance of avoiding it.

Ive seen people spend lakhs on gear and not wear them, what good is an Alpinestar tech 10 if its protecting your closet. or full gear cha ghar ma but tyei sathi haru bhetna gairako ho chappal lagayera janchu ma ta. are you less likely to hurt yourself if you have an accident on your way to the coffee shop?

Asti euta bro ko post dekhya thiye Helmet sell garna khojya re cause full faced helmet sanga used to chaina and scooter chalairako ho so half helmet le kaam chalcha. please buy a pack of straws while buying a half helmet because your jaw will be useless if you hit the pavement face first.

Ajha gear is too expensive bhanne crowd ta chuttai cha, if you can spend lakhs on a bike you should have enough to spend atleast 10% on buying gear and wear it religiously. If you dont then maybe youre spending too much on your bike. Adjust your budget because a broken ankle is much more expensive than a set of riding boots.

Please let me know your thoughts on wearing riding gears everyday and drop some suggestions for what has worked for you.
