" Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, Nandan ! "

Some of you may remember this serial started in May 2000.
Soon, I started getting a lot of feedback. Many asked for
purchase-advise or troubleshooting-help, which I have always
been prompt to provide. Some wanted to share with me their
lovely experiences with Bullets, or their not so lovely
ones with high-handed dealers, sharp mechanics, etc.
But a few clearly felt I should do more than complain.
No doubt they were polite, but I could read the unwritten
"Put your money where your mouth is" quite clearly !

Well, that seemed fair enough: Giving advice on the web
is easy, making it work on the roads MAY not be !!!
Bullet-eers were never the type to back away from
challenges, so I had to take up that one !

So I got thru to some officials in REM and offered to
work with them to iron the bugs out of our beloved Bullets.
But those were probably small-fry guys & pettily thought
I was looking for employment/ payment, etc ....because
I never heard from them again !
'Looking at gift-horses in the teeth' I have heard of,
but seeing a threat or white-elephant in one,
......REM se seekho !!!

BTW, the good news is that the Workshop Manual is
now more easily available than when I cribbed about
it's non-availability. But, oh, the bad news is that the
said manual is STILL as lousy as ever ! :-)

Meanwhile, some people still think I'm
" Cursing darkness instead of lighting a lamp "
....a kind way of saying: "Put your money....."

OK, OK ! So hear, ye !!

I'm taking up the challenge; I've left an unrelated job,
& I'm now going full-time Bullet-eering, a pro !!!

All the earlier freebies remain, of course. In fact,
because I will be working on Bullets & nothing else,
this serial will proceed more steadily !
All mail WILL be replied promptly & patiently as before.

And I will be offering several Services & Special Parts.

Performance parts, economy parts, convenience parts.
Designed, made & sold by an active Bullet-eer, not
by businessmen in AC cars/ on videshi golf-courses !

As I have made & used such parts myself for years,
I know what sort of usage needs what sort of parts,
and that will reflect in my pre-sales advice to ensure
you don't waste your money.

Fitting & tuning done if you wish, and of course,
all the after-sales service you could ask for.

Or you want your "new" rattle-trap re-built properly
to a true Bullet ?
Try me !

Or you want to buy a true Bullet ? I offer not just
different models, but custom-made Bullets to your
specifications.... 350 to 700cc & beyond !

Or you want to sell out & buy a 100/ 150 ?
Owww ! Please, Please, Don't !
I'll tune your Bullet to satisfaction & brain-wash
you to remain in the Bullet camp !!!
...But if you are determined, I'll give you a fair,
Bullet-eer rate for your Bullet, in any condition.

Or you want to tour India by Bullet ? Great !
Just tell me HOW...scheduled group tour,
or a small, private-group guided tour,
or an individual unplanned tour,
or you just want to hire a Bullet ... ?
I'll make all that happen and MORE !

Like, if you can't tear yourself away from our
lovely Bullets at the end of the tour, we'll give
one a quick rebuild (& in the process give you a
crash course in it's maintenance) & you can take
it away, or we ship it to you !

Like, if you tell us in advance, we'll build you
a tourer to your exact specifications !

Now that is a WIDE array of services.
The common thread thru them all is my Guarantee:
The user must be delighted. Nothing less will do.

The sight of little children playing, the sound
of their laughter...
The sight of your National Flag unfurled, the
sound of it's flutter...
The feel of riding a fresh, eager, stallion in
a brisk canter over easy terrain...

If you think the sight, sound & feel of your Bullet
is not really in the same league, you should get in
touch with me, because something is WRONG !
Which I should be able to help you correct !

For Bullets that hit the target ! Every time !
Because I always aim as high as you do !

From now onwards, for just about anything-Bullet,
