For anyone who doesn't ride motorcycles - a KTM Super Duke is a lunatic hooligan bike (in the best way) that barely fits within the boundaries of safe operation on the open roads of the USA. I cannot comprehend riding one on the busy streets of an Indian city. It'd be fun while it lasted, at least.
- xenospn 3y agoRiding anything in India is an extreme sport. That country is absolute madness.
- mangamadaiyan 3y agoTry crossing the road as a pedestrian in Bangalore. It's even more of an extreme sport.

- lazide 3y agoOne of my favorite memories was getting across the street to a restaurant with some noobs in front of one of the FAANG offices in Bangalore - high traffic times, so no way to do so on foot without a noob ending up dead. An auto rickshaw, 15 minutes, and two different bribes to the traffic police did the trick though.
- mangamadaiyan 3y agoWere the bribes needed because the rick was overloaded, or because the rick went the wrong way, or both?
- lazide 3y agoIt was the only way to do the turns necessary to get there in 15 minutes due to heavy traffic. The traffic police were blocking them.
- xenospn 3y agoI was visiting our office in Delhi, (Gurgaon), And the only way to get lunch was to cross a busy highway with no pedestrian bridges, experiencing what I can only describe as a deadly vortex of entropy. I think I can add that to my list of near death experiences for sure.
- alephnerd 3y agoWelcome to India. Youth culture in India is obsessed with the KTM Super Duke [0]. It's the stereotypical chappri/pulingo bike (Indian version of Bad Baby type influencers). [0] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T08LibsaHh0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T08LibsaHh0
