'Old Delhi Motorcycle' A film justfied for a legacy like Royal Enfield Bullet

Surfing into the you tube for reviews of bikes and cars, the latest music and the usual mumbo-jumbo I stumbled across this video with you tube telling me "recommended for you", the video titled 'Old Delhi Motorcycles The Film' and the kind of petrol head I am I decided to watch this film only to be left astound, spellbound, speechless 19 mins later making me doubt about my passion for motorcycle is hard enough or these guys have just created a whole new meaning for the word passion.

The film revolves around the people most of whom are mechanics who dedicated their entire lives to repairing and reviving motorcycles and that too for only one that is 'Royal Enfield Bullet'.

The way they see this motorcycle is like as if she is a human being not a piece of metal, like a family member of theirs'. They cherish their talent of making and repairing this motorcycle and pass on this talent to generations ahead as if it is some kind of a treasure.
In this film I was moved by a guy's words which I quote "Being a mechanic here is like a 'stigma' people want their kids to be a engineer or a doctor nobody wants to be a mechanic" which I agree as we Indians see mechanic as a profession people are compelled to do due to the poor conditions, well this film will certainly make a Indian look into a mechanic in a different light from now on.

Their dedication for this motorcycle which I can only respect with only bold lettering and a couple of apostrophes make me sound puny to them. Hats-off to these mechanics for making Bullet the name more popular and stronger than the brand it represents.

So if you are a thumping fanatic then watch this film for sure as it will make you respect a mechanic and the 'Royal Enfield Bullet' even more, the only motorcycle which if you own you can proudly say "Bhaisahab ye average nahi deti !"
