Dear @MumbaiPolice - I've been issued an e-challan but it turns out it is a mistake on the part of traffic police - wrong bike number. Tried raising a complaint but no option on the portal. How can I get this erroneous fine removed ?

#DanielWaples #HandPan #Live Here is a link to Daniel's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/HedgeMonkeyA Here is a link to the playlist from our motorcycle trip through Ladakh - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZGpVEFPME5ftDPr6WCL3zgh_cKd-Yjho Daniel Waples, a.k.a HanginBalance, is a self-taught musician who is well known for the wonderful music he creates on the Hand Pan/Hang Drum. Daniel is from the United Kingdom. He picked up the instrument several years ago and learnt to play it by himself. Some videos of his music found their way onto the internet and the rest is history - as he quickly grew into an internet sensation, known around the world for his beautiful music. Daniel and I met in Ladakh, when we both rode Jawa motorcycles across the beautiful Ladakhi landscape. The day before we began our ride, while were all sat beside a flowing river with the Himalayan mountains in the backdrop, Daniel Waples enthralled with a live performance. This was one to be cherished, and I was fortunate to have recorded some part of the incredible experience. The video has been overlayed with a few clips shot during our travels across Ladakh on motorcycles. Hope you enjoy the show and feel the powerful magic of Daniel's music!

#DIY #Handmade #Carpentry I built a table top stand for my helmet out of wood and metal. No drilling of walls required and it can be used to store or display my helmet on any shelf or table. Just because we're not able to ride during this lockdown does not mean that our precious riding gear should be neglected, right? This video documents the process of making the wood and metal helmet stand - just to shake things up, it's made with only real ambient sounds and was fully shot on a Canon EOS 200D DSLR.

#MavicMini #Drone #Storm The Village Life Vlog - Episode 4 The DJI Mavic Mini is a relatively new compact drone launched by DJI, which is smaller than an average mobile phone and weighs just 249 grams. I was flying my DJI Mavic Mini to capture some footage as a storm was advancing since the clouds were rolling in and the landscape was simply surreal. However, the squall like winds hit suddenly and without warning while the drone was still in the air. Fortunately, I managed to bring my Mavic Mini down low and slowly fly it back to safety even as the gusting winds grew stronger. This was a close shave, but the footage I got made it seem worthwhile. I was also very impressed that the tiny Mavic Mini was able to handle the gusting winds in a storm and return home safely. MUSIC: Jim Yosef - Canary

#Survivor #StayHome #Coronavirus Coronavirus Surivor's Story and Suggestions One of my friends from school, who now lives in New York, tested positive for the COVID-19 virus sometime in March 2020. In this video, he shares with me his story of how he figured out what his illness was, the testing for coronavirus and how he eventually recovered from COVID-19. He also shares the perspective of a Coronavirus survivor towards the urgent need for continued social distancing and insights into what each of us can do to overcome the challenges of this pandemic.

#Insta360 #Cycling #Vlog This is Episode 3 of The Village Life Vlog - shot on an Insta 360 One X camera - which is one of the most popular 360 cameras. After 11 days in lockdown, we were running low on a few supplies. I had to go to the nearest village to buy some groceries and other essentials. To make this more interesting, I decided to not use the car or bike and instead pulled out a simple cycle that had been gathering dust for a long time. To make my vlogging task more challenging (and interesting) I also decided to shoot this entire video (barring the intro) on the Insta 360 One X. So, this video is a fun take on what could otherwise be a drab errand. Hope you guys enjoy the video. Comment below and let me know your favourite shots - is it the drone shot or something from the 360 camera footage? Music: Jim Yosef - Canary

#Lockdown #Life #Vlog I came to my father's house, in a village near Chennai, just before the lockdown was announced. Now that I'm here and locked down, I figured that I might as well make the most of it, by embracing the unique opportunities of the village life. Since I can, I'm making vlogs of some parts of these experiences. For someone who had previously only lived in cities (Chennai, Pune and Mumbai) moving to a village outside of Chennai was a drastic change of scene. But, it was an intentional shift and I quickly grew to enjoy the peace and solitude. The priorities and pace of life are very different in this universe - something that I find more relatable. In fact, I think moving to the village was one of the biggest reasons that I was able to break away from all that I knew and begin to discover and create a whole new reality for myself. More about that later though... For now, here's a little glimpse into my version of the village life. If you enjoy this video and would like me to make more, please leave a comment below and let me know. If you like my content, please subscribe to my channel and share it too. Thanks for being here.

#Drone #MavicMini #Review Is the DJI Mavic Mini the best drone for Youtubers? Can the Mavic Mini shoot cinematic Footage? Here are my thoughts and first impressions after having used the pocket-sized drone a little bit. The DJI Mavic Mini has been one of the most-talked about drones in recent times. Understandably so, since its currently the smallest, lightest and cheapest new-age drone on offer from DJI. In this video, I've shared my first impressions of this compact pocket-sized drone along with some video samples of footage that I've shot using it. Music: Jim Yosef - Canary

#ATHER #REVIEW #ELECTRIC This is part 2 of my ride to Mahabalipuram on an Ather 450 Electric Scooter. On the return leg, I did a real-life test of the range performance of the Ather scooter when riding in SPORTS MODE. The battery was fully charged up to 100% before I left and it showed a range of 55 kilometres in sports mode. But, as I was to find out, that number is deceptive. Under continuous use at high speed, the battery on the Ather 450 seems to discharge significantly more rapidly and I was surprised to find that it gave me less than 34 kilometres range in Sports mode before automatically switching to Eco Mode to limp towards a charging station. The results of this test were quite disappointing. Deviations from "ideal testing conditions" should "ideally" not be this significant. Disclaimer: This video was shot in December 2019 - prior to lockdown and prior to launch of the Ather 450x.

Hey @YouTube @YouTubeIndia I think you need to make an edit to your notification message. The bit about removing content that "doesn't violate guidelines" doesn't seem right. pic.twitter.com/zZZiE5u4vN

Ready to retire (the helmet). This MT Blade was my touring #helmet through 2016, 2017 and part of 2018. It was reassigned to city use duties after I got the MT KRE Momentum from @spartanprogear. This was the helmet that made me realise just how much more comfortable the DOT/ECE lids are, when compared to the ISI trash. After nearly 4 years of hardcore use it's proved to be well worth the money that I spent on it. Needs to now be retired, but only after I find a replacement that is as comfortable. One more thing on the list of things to do post-lockdown. #mthelmets #blade #touring #retirement #post #lockdown #agenda #spartanprogear #safetyisanattitude #ttd #thingstodo #bikelife #bikelove #bikersofinstagram #igers #landscapes #arunachalpradesh #incredibleindia — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2WLboop

#ElectricVehicle #FirstRide #Ather The Electric Vehicle market is growing, with more and more ideas, concepts and ready-for sale offerings emerging from different manufacturers. I've been curious to know more about what's happening in this space. To begin this journey, I borrowed an electric scooter from a friend and took it out for a not so short spin. There are now several players in the electric scooter segment, including the Bajaj Chetak, the TVS iCube and the Ather scooters. Ather, is a relatively young Indian brand that has been making a huge push to garner attention in this segment. But, is it actually any good? Here are a few of my initial impressions of the electric scooter made by Ather. Disclaimer: This video was shot in December 2019 - long before the lockdown in India began. Music: Jim Yosef - Canary
