History of Merobike.com

"Merobike" (it's a personal kinda "my" -- "mero") site which has helped bike-lovers from far and near to ultimately choose his/her bike of choice. Finally, WWW.MEROBIKE.COM has emerged as a ground or biker-base or u can say a discussion-area for bikers.

The site was supposed to actually "stay" underground because it began with the club BikerboyZ a stuntBikers group of Nepal who include heavily and highly modified bikes (which are strictly prohibited on our roads today!)

Stunt is a talent and modification is an art. Merobike.com just want to show their talent to other Nepalese people and today they got the support from the corner of world. Today it also focus many individual and bikers club.

It was three years back these two guys Prabin Silwal and Nik Ghale press the start button of www.merobike.com in the road of internet.
As Nik use to collect information and data from the ground and Prabin used to give it a good shape and pour it in merobike.com and also possesses a keen interest in bikes.

Put together these two focuses became a good idea -- but one that included hard work. The key to achieve success is to keep the goal in sight at all times and to persevere.

The initial aim in the formation of these two ideas was basically to supply and gain an ever expanding "store-house" of information on bikes which runs in Nepal so whether it is a broad spectrum of bikes from the Indo-Japanese to Sino-Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese-Japanese machines, including Sino-American models or a Chinese and Indian bikes pluS Nepali.

Merobike.com has now grown to achieve a high success appeal among young guys and girls who are really into bikes, stunts and assembly/modification forums. Merobike.com created an environment seeking the interest of other bikers.
With so many advances and new features constantly appearing on what is fast becoming a myriad of so many bikes to choose from, it's not easy anymore to find, locate and isolate which bike is "the best"!
Recently it transpired that both "mero's" founders Prabin for IT and Nick for marketing abroad. Happily instead, it actually became a great help for handling the site from Australia as well as europe respectively and then has inlcuded automatically international news . But the website seek for local stuff than international. On middle of the 2007 both admin move a giant step for merobike.com they made Kevin as a new admin who was a moderator of merobike's forum i.e. discussion board. Later merobike.com's official club was form MerobikerZ with the love and help of moderator n members of merobike.


This is the biography of merobike.com.......how it was formed......
i know this much......new members haru lai help huncha hola yeti le......

Riding With Merobike.com

The adrenaline rush that one gets while roaring the engine is both exciting and addictive. Ready to ride in any weather condition or for any reason motorcycle riding is not just a life style, it’s an attitude. The thrill of the ride, wind on the face, and the road just inches away from the feet, this is the beauty and reality of riding.

It was three years back these two guys Prabin Silwal and Nick Ghale came up with the idea of creating a common platform for all the biker enthusiasts. Finally WWW.MEROBIKE.COM was launched with the motive of sharing information and creating a community that included combination of friendship, passion for bikes, adventure, safety, brotherhood and respect for each other.

The initial aim was basically to supply and gain an ever expanding "store-house" of information on bikes which rule the roads of Nepal ranging from a broad spectrum of bikes from the Indo-Japanese to Sino-Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese-Japanese machines, including Sino-American models or a Chinese and Indian bikes plus Nepali.

Merobike.com has now grown to achieve a high success appeal among young guys and girls who are really into bikes, stunts and assembly/modification stuffs. Merobike.com is trying to create an environment seeking the interest of all bikers into a common platform thus launching merobike.com's official club Merobikerz with the love and help of moderator and members of merobike. In a motorcyle community there is a saying “There are two types of people, Motorcycle owners and motorcycle riders’”. Merobikerz comprise of group of riders who truly enjoy every facets of the biker’s life.

Over the years riders from around the country have stood up in all the get together thus forming a strong bond and as for the biker activities, it is expanding and will continue to form biker community, photo shoot bikers, be involved in community service, safety awareness and most importantly ride more.

Gas Price around the world

As we all know, and feel, gas prices are the highest they have ever been. No matter where you live, which country, you'll be paying through the nose just to be able to take a spin on your motorcycle.
But, it's not really everywhere in the world! At motorcycle blog site (MBI member Open link in a new window), they produced a table of the gallon price around the world.
The USA is in the middle of the price range, with Venezuela charging 4% what Americans must pay, while on the other side of the spectrum is Denmark, charging 279% more!

In France, according to the table, we're paying 240% more than the US.

So stop complaining about your gas price...if not, move to Venezuela or Iran....

What would you pay for a gallon of gas around the world? As you can see below, the price ranges from almost triple the US average across most of Northern Europe (due to fossil-fuel taxes and emerging carbon-cap regulation) to small fractions of the US average in many heavy-production countries (due to government subsidies for its citizens).

Features of Yamaha YZF R15

Liquid-cooled

First India-made model with cooling method in the Indian market! Liquid-cooled engines provide stable performance, reduce vibrations, and offer a high quality ride.

One characteristic of YZF-R15’s new engine is that it is liquid-cooled. The engine is surrounded by a water jacket in which coolant liquid circulates to cool the engine. While this method is widely used in automobiles and large capacity motorcycles, there are very few examples of motorcycles of this class due to increased weight from components such as radiators. YZF-R15 uses a special compact and lightweight aluminum radiator and a body design that utilizes airflow for heat dissipation. This has enabled us to create a lightweight, compact body while retaining its stable performance.

The benefits of using this method include stable performance during long-distance, high-speed riding and hill climbing. A liquid-cooled engine does not need heat-dissipating fins and therefore the engine is able to deliver its best performance without being affected by temperature. Additionally, because the head and cylinder are enclosed in a water jacket, mechanical noise from the engine is reduced dramatically.

The newly developed engine delivers agile riding performance, and excellent performance on straight stretches of road as well as on winding roads. YZF-R15 also delivers excellent environmental performance. These traits are a must for an “urban supersport.” The ride is unprecedented in terms of both excitement and quality.

DiASil Cylinder

The DiASil Cylinder was born from YAMAHA’s world-class aluminum die casting technology.

DiASil Cylinders are all-aluminum cylinders made by YAMAHA’s proprietary aluminum die casting technology. An aluminum alloy with 20% silicon content is used to create a very hard, reliable cylinder surface, making conventional iron sleeves obsolete. As a result, the entire cylinder can be made of aluminum, a better conductor of heat, which means the cylinder delivers better heat dissipation and less weight. (Aluminum’s heat conductivity is 3.1 times that of iron.)

YZF-R15 is equipped with this all-aluminum cylinder called the DiASil Cylinder and a forged piston, the same type of piston used in YAMAHA’s supersport bikes. The fact that both the piston and cylinder of YZF-R15 are all-aluminum ensures excellent heat dissipation, eliminates heat-induced engine power loss, and helps improve fuel efficiency. The DiASil Cylinder is given a special surface treatment to prevent oil evaporation from the cylinder’s surface and improve oil consumption. The cylinder also has excellent hardness and is considerably resistant to wear compared to conventional iron sleeves.

Additionally, the piston is made in a forging process, the optimum way of achieving lightweight designs.The reciprocating mass with the forged piston is approximately 20% less ( according to Yamaha test ) than with an engine of the same displacement fitted with a conventional cast aluminum piston. Resulting in an invigorating feeling when revving up.

Conventional pistons are typically made in a casting process where molten aluminum is cast in a mold. YAMAHA developed its proprietary “controlled forging technology” in 1997, which enables mass production of forged aluminum pistons. These pistons have been used in sport models such as the R series. The same manufacturing process was used to develop YZF-R15. Forged pistons retain the excellent strength of aluminum alloys because the metallurgic matrix of aluminum is not affected during the fabrication process. Therefore, the piston can be made lighter and thinner.

YZF-R15 is packed with state-of-the-art technology that is used in the world’s supersport bikes.

Fuel Injection

Fuel injection is used to ensure excellent fuel efficiency as well as environmental friendliness.

The two components of the fuel injection mechanism used in YZF-R15, a) the sensors that gather information on the engine’s operation, and b) the fuel supply system that supplies gasoline, have both been designed to be lightweight and simple. The sensor component uses only 4 sensors (Red blinking points) to gather large amounts of information relating to engine operations, which is sent to a small 26-pin ECU, which in turn calculates the optimum fuel supply. The fuel supply component consists of a small, fuel pump, modularized regulator and filter, and a small injector, all of which come together to enable a lightweight, compact form. The injector injects finely atomized spray of fuel through 6 hole type injectors.

In order to maximize the efficiency of the fuel injector, which injects the optimum amount of fuel for different amounts of intake air, YZF-R15 is equipped with a large 3-liter air cleaner. The duct area of the intake duct was designed optimally to optimize the flow of intake air.

Additionally, the use of a 4-valve combustion chamber (a combustion chamber with 2 intake and exhaust valves each) has allowed designers to layout the spark plug at the center of the combustion chamber for better flame propagation. This also increases the total valve area relative to the 2-valve chambers for improved intake/exhaust efficiency (volumetric efficiency). YZF-R15 is fitted with a hemispherical 4-valve combustion chamber, a configuration that allows intake and exhaust valves to be laid out in the smallest size possible.

In addition, the intake and exhaust valve angles have been kept small to achieve optimum combustion chamber configuration. We also aimed at minimizing the surface area/volume ration (S/V ratio) in the combustion chamber, which is key to improving fuel efficiency. In conjunction with the fuel injection system, this combustion chamber contributes to comfortable riding during long-distance rides as well as during medium to high-speed riding.

YZF-R15’s engine delivers excellent response, fuel economy, is environmentally friendly and a comfortable ride.

Deltabox Frame

The frame, which forms the basis for riding comfort and handling performance, is a Deltabox frame which delivers superior rigidity balance.

This frame was designed to provide the best balance in longitudinal, lateral, and torsional rigidity. The synergy created by optimizing each dimension delivers a solid riding feel as well as comfort and agile riding performance.

The Deltabox frame was commercialized based on the experience and know-how accumulated through YAMAHA’s involvement in Moto GP since the early 1980s. This type of frame is currently used in YAMAHA’s R series of sport models. The engine is mounted on rigid supports; one on the head side and two on the case side; so that the engine itself becomes a structural member contributing to body strength and rigidity. The engine’s low vibration makes rigid supports possible, ensuring low vibrations and excellent balance of rigidity. Torsional rigidity refers to the frame’s resistance to deformation when a twisting force is applied to the pivot with the frame’s head pipe held in place.

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. plans to market a new lightweight supersport bike in India as part of a corporate priority to build the brand?s business there.

The YZF-R15 features a newly designed 150cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC single-cylinder, 4-valve fuel-injected engine on a Deltabox frame. Yamaha is displaying the bike for the first time at Auto Expo 2008, Jan. 10-17, in New Delhi. Plans are to release the model in the second quarter.

Yamaha says the development concept was to build a bike to serve as the first true supersport to be designed solely for the Indian market.

Building the motorcycle business in India has been designated as one of top priorities in Yamaha?s new three-year medium term management plan that begins this year and runs through 2010.

The second largest motorcycle market in the world, India supports sales of about 8 million units annually. Nearly 80 percent of the market is in the 100cc to 200cc motorcycle category, and a large part of the remainder is in the 125cc and under scooter category.

Yamaha, basing it forecasts on the country?s demographics and progress in development of the road system, says it expects continued stable growth on the subcontinent.

Motorcycle demand in India is driven mainly by 20-something users, and there is an increasing trend toward European style tastes as seen in the preference for luxury products. Also, in surveys, many 20-something users say their dream bike is a 1000cc supersport model, indicating a growing interest in sport bikes.

Dream of a Rider

Have you passed your SLC exam??? Going college now??? What is your transport???Now it is the begining where many riders of nepal ( specially in ktm) keep their interest in bike. At first the most important thing is "bike" than after the make of bike, power and cc ; model and design of bike lastly may be colour. After that ,desire and hunger to make their bike different than others ride take you to the garrage. Although you try your best to make your bike look cool or unique some of the major changes would be enhancing the rear shock absorber which will definitely make your ride in high altitude position, then replacement of handle bars , rear viewing mirrors , rear tyre, stickers , some colour changes etc. In each move only one thing that is in your mind is to be COOL. Adjustment of sporty smelling fairing is yet another change but not all can afford that unless you think you are the BIKEFAN.

In ktm, power of bike doesn't matter to make you fast nor the make of the bike , only thing tha t matter is how you ride and how experianced you are. Many times we see many ruthless riders covers the road of ktm making other road users difficult for them to position their vehicle because of those riders. But still you think you look COOL by doing that act. Many inexperianced riders get into accident each day in the road of ktm. Most of the time due to their carelessness and HEROIC act and sometimes due to the condition of the road . Many riders have been killed in road accident in NEPAL , which is not a new thing to anyone but only thing that is important is they might have not been killed if only they were more carefull and had sense of safe ride. Many accident occurs to converted bike because almost all converted bike are not 100% safe too ride. Replacemen t of bike parts without the permission and supervision of authorised personnel ( i.e bike engineer) can always put the rider in risk while they ride. Government officers (many traffic police)are after the converted bike and the money of those riders , although they sometimes put their views in daily papers about their interest in taking reaction over the converted bike riders and the garrage where they do so. But they don't have real interest in taking fast reaction and pu tting full stop on the word MODIFIED BIKES. It can be heard by the riders that they were fined some money because of their bike by traffic officers but they are just following the orders from teir seniors , in reallity that particulaer officer doesn't know why they should charge those riders. They arent aware of the effect of the bike they are only aware of the smell of money , that is what we can conclude now.

In the year '02 , one bikecarazy had an idea about making his bike different to others , for that he would do anything no matter how much the cost is. Although we had seen some customised bike in nepal before '02 but the rapid increase in bike modifiaction was introduced by that boy who was desperate to do something new. After 2 years the process took very fast speed that many road users specially children and old people in the street were threatened by the bikers because of the noise pollution of the bike. Many people complained about it and it was big issue by the time and GOVERNMENT couldn't sleep in that situation and they took very qucik reaction and the result was very impressive. They seized more than 200 bike from ktm only in couple of days . Many bikefan were depreesed by the action of traffic police. But still nobody took the situation seriously. All the bike owners were fined and they had to make their bike as simple as they come from factory. The main cause of that situation "( persion who started the bike modification era) didn't step back even after all those trouble. Then within a year BIKE MODIFICATION ERA began once again with full confidence and this time even the GOVERNMENT couldn't do anything as they had to fight against MAOIST not with the bikers.

These days most of the teenagers like to ride bike ( modified bike) in ktm. They request , they argue , they fight and then lastly they are ready to cry and finally gets the BIKE. Its just like the activity of sheep ( a.k.a veda , dumba); if one sheep does one thing then all have to do the same that is how they are. I ,being the rider tried many weired things in the road with the bike but never thought of being a different ( cool or unique) . I ride because i want to feel the freedom and listen to the sound of wind to my ears. Only way i can make myself happy and express my feeling is by riding. I feel all the joys by riding that many people get by partying , taking alcohol , drugs , smoking ,etc. I don't want to stop once i start riding ; it doesn't matter if i die while riding but it would be my most disasterous nightmare if i get hurt but not die. So to prevent that situation i always have too be very carefull while riding and think hundreds time while taking risky move. Each time i start my journey i only focus on the safe riding . Happy safe riding to all.

RIDE NOW DIE LATER.

BE QUICK SO THAT EVEN THE DEATH CAN'T CATCH YOU.

SEEING IS BELIEVING BUT WHILE RIDING SEEING IS SURVIVING.

MOVE FASTER BUT THINK FASTEST.

SLOW RIDE IS BETTER THAN LAST RIDE.

I wish that you could hold me Mum,

I went to a party,

And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,

The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,

And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I start my bike,

Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,

And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mum, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,

As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,

While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mum

Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Someone should have taught him,

That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mum

I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mum,

As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mum!'
So I love you and good-bye.
