Royal Enfield Bullet. What are the first things that come to your mind when these three words are uttered? Slow? Lazy? Cruiser? Yeah, the Bullet is for lazy rides on the highway at a sedate 8okm/h or lugging tens of kilos of luggage and riding up to the Himalayas. But the way you think about the good old Royal Enfield changes after you see a couple of Bullet wheelie videos on YouTube.

Now, we do get to see this kind of action daily on Pulsars and Karizmas but all this on a bike meant for cruising? These stunters are a part of a group of fearless bikers from New Delhi and Punjab for whom the lazy trail and rake set up and the heavy weight of the Bullet is of no bother at all. Pumping the front suspension a couple of times, using the clutch and arms to lift the front and then carrying the bike on a single wheel for a good distance before landing back on the road is something that astonishes us.

We have never seen the Royal Enfield do all this. If this ain't enough, you will notice that in a few videos, the biker actually goes onto scrape the number plate while carrying the bike on one wheel! These guys can be seen quite often on the streets of West Delhi once it gets dark, and more so during the religious 'Nagar Kirtan' processions of the Sikhs. This has become a habit in this regular procession, where not only Bulleteers but riders on scooters and the usual breed of Indian bikes can be seen performing stunts in the middle of the road, which is almost entirely occupied by pedestrians. Dangerous, very dangerous!

When I spoke with them about their skills and riding gear or the lack of it, their faces were beaming and their replies were all about pride and attitude rather than safety. On one hand, the bikers seem to have skills to do all this but on the other (and most important) hand, they are completely devoid of any safety gear. To say the least, all it will take is one tumble to break a couple of bones and drill some lessons into their head.

Till then, may god be with them to take care of them and to help them ameliorate their crazy art of lifting the bikes. Of course, I respect their religious sentiments that hinder them from wearing a turban although I personally do know at least half a dozen Sikh bikers who wear good quality helmets when riding a bike. I have also seen and ridden some real fast Enfields that are modified to compliment the big lump of engine they carry along.

Yes, generally, a Royal Enfield will be made to eat dust by any good 150cc+ bike in India but this particular one, from down south truly goes like a Bullet. The bike is owned by a famous biker, who works for a two-wheeler manufacturer. His doped bike manages to show a clean pair of heels to even a 27bhp odd Hyosung Comet 250. The new breed of 500 LB models are quicker and within a year or two, the fuel injected twin-spark models will also be here in India but in the meantime there is a lot that can be done to make these bikes go faster.

According to various sources on the internet, the most important changes that should be carried out on a regular Bullet are upgrading the carburetor to a 32mm Mikuni Carb, replacing the filter with a performance one and changing the restricted silencer to a semi-free flow one. These three things alone with make a drastic change to the performance and if you're still not happy, you can always opt for more alterations like a high compression ratio piston, stronger CH valves and springs etc, higher lift camshafts, Samrat rockers (much lighter than the standard items), better quality push-rods, stronger connecting rod, high capacity oil pump feed and return, heavy duty clutch and the works.

Plus there is the Hitchcocks' 612cc conversion kit and if you still want to be really extreme, pick the Tollgate Classics 750cc conversion kit. Of course, you will have to shell out a ton of cash for all this but then, who says it's cheap to own a Bullet that goes like one!

Check Out the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang Gt500kr

Jean Cocteau once said "A car can massage organs which no masseur can reach. It is the one remedy for the disorders of the great sympathetic nervous system." Jean Cocteau found automobiles to be a masseur of the whole body. I bet Jean was probably talking about a Ford Mustang when he was writing this quote. Now if you want to find a Mustang that will give you the best message then you should ride in the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR.

The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR is a special-edition GT500 in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original "King of the Road." The GT500KR is a product after the GT500 to wear the mostly extinct SVT Badge trying to prove to us that Ford still has a performance division.

The 1967 New York auto show host the launch of the original Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR that is powered by a 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V-8 engine with 335 horsepower. The 2008 Shelby KR models are supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 engine under the hood with a Ford Power Upgrade Pack that comes with revised ignition timing and throttle calibration. The 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR that over takes the older model by 205 horsepower.

Other than the racing stripes and hood vents the other Shelby GT500's have, the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR comes with a signature hood with two forward looking mail slots at the leading edge of the hood feeding the blown 5.4's appetite for air and twist-down hood pins for a more secure racing genius.

The test done recently on the Shelby GT badge did not go well when the stick through pins of the badge vibrated out on rough terrain. The badges used on the Cobra grille and fenders have wings on them in celebration of the 40th anniversary GT500KR edition. The rocker stripes on the GT500KR are the same as it predecessor.

They have a Triton engine that uses four valves per cylinder instead of three that are used in the iron block truck version and they use the cylinder heads from the Ford GT, that has a aluminum block.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe once said "There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws." So remember these thoughts when thinking about purchasing the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR. It will not last forever.

They are only going to produce one thousand of these, they will being selling the 2008 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500KR in Spring. You can probably bet with the S word on the hood and a power bump should have about $12,000 premium, putting the King of the Road about $50,000 area.

The director of the advanced product creation and SVT division of ford Hermann Salenbauch said the Shelby GT500 is one of the most successful cars they have ever made in almost every way.

Does it make sense for my mech. to install a new cam & rockers & keep the orig. springs & valves?

Assuming the valves and springs are good, why not reuse them and save you a buck? We can go on to ridiculous extremes with your example if you'd like. "As long as the engine is torn down anyway, why not replace the pistons, rings and main bearings?"
