Sumanta riding ATV in Tripura

Just got news that Sumanta happily riding his RED ATV in Tripura. It was nice that he sent me the photographs taken in his camera while he was here to collect his dream machine. In the above photo, I am explaining the riding and maintenance techniques to Sumanta.

One ATV delivered

Yesterday evening Mr Sumanta Debbarma took a ATV and hopped into a train to Tripura. Yes Mr Sumanta living on other side of Bangla Desh came all the way to collect one ATV and I think this is farthest distance my ATV will go. I wish many happy days of ATV riding to him.

So there are two [BLUE and GREEN] complete ATVs with me and one Yellow machine that has some minor components missing. Interested people need not mail me regarding their availability as I will be posting update immediately after deliveries.

My blog gets plenty of hits from around the country. Many people send mail to enquire about availability and import guidance. I have no way to determine their seriousness, so cannot separate grain from chaff with email communication There are people who have approach me & create impression that they are hopping on plane on next day to parachute on my farm just to collect a ATV. One Mr Amaan from Mumbai just did that last week.

Having myself flown powered hang glider solo, aka microlight aircraft - and having a bad crash later on, I am not dazzled by their flying in plans. But I have to be courteous. My poor health makes this difficult. I keep my routine work pending to accommodate them. Suddenly communication gets cold and they don’t even inform me of changed circumstances.

Riding ATV mean you have to unlearn a crucial movement that we get used to during riding two wheelers. We should never lift our leg out of footrests. Even if we are going to be toppled, our legs should continue to be on footrest to avoid more injury. I was busy teaching all these fine points of riding and maintenance and so neglected taking photographs while he was with us.

Why I prefer cash & carry sale ?

I am a person of strong conviction and I want the people who buy ATV from me to be 100 % satisfied getting value for their money and not 95 %. That can happen only with pre delivery inspection and one to one talk. My hearing problem prevents long telephonic discussion. That is one of the main reason I want people to take delivery from my farm.

I am not a businessman. For two full years and till my faithful Blue ATV clocked more than 250 hours – I was not willing to sell the spare ATV to anybody as I wanted to be certain about the quality. Only after that I was ready to sell but by then initial euphoria had died down. I am not making too much effort to sell.

I keep getting mail from interested people in distant places. Negotiating the packing and forwarding ATVs is too much of burden for me right now. So I am giving this explanation here instead of individual replies.

Sending to a faraway person involves numerous tasks. First I have to get packing material and fabricate a box. Then have to pay VAT, maybe Rupees 5000 @ 12.5 % of 40 K at commercial tax office and get the receipt to facilitate smooth transport. Then I have to take it to lorry office for booking. All this will cost some money. With my rock-bottom price, I don't want to add expenses. Being partially handicapped, I cannot move around easily. All these work as well as expenses will be absent while giving on cash and carry basis.

Right now I have three surplus pieces and some visitors are expected soon to have a look. If there is a sale, it will certainly be mentioned here. The first machine to go out will be cheapest and I expect little more for latter pieces.

More info on surplus ATVs offered

I am getting numerous mail from faraway states regarding ATV. Some people are keen to have more than one piece. So here are more details on different ATVs.

BLUE – ONE - I have extensively used this both in farm and in seashore- Not for sale.

BLUE - TWO - only unpacked. Never poured fuel into fuel tank.

RED- Started once but have not used.  SOLD

GREEN - only unpacked. Never poured fuel into fuel tank

YELLOW - have removed carburetor and connecting hose. Can be made ready by getting components from market. Fuel never poured into the tank.

They will need 12 V 9 Ah battery worth 1200 INR. Otherwise should be ok. Any herohonda mechanic should be able to get it ready. Electric components like plug, CD units are same as herohonda.

I have so far not agreed to the offers that require packing and dispatch as I prefer cash and carry deal. They are CHEAP and good value for money.

Surplus ATV for SALE

I have three unused ATVs in my godown. I had to get five as my Chinese manufacturer, supplier at last moment said, minimum order quantity was five and I wanted one very urgently. The available colours are red, blue and green.

Right now I am not using ATV much due to further downturn in farm activities. My anti global warming beliefs also plays a role in this.

I am now moving around in a electric assist tricycle. My trike is unique that can accept energy inputs both from pedals and battery. You can see more on this in my blog. http://e-triking-india.blogspot.com/

So the ATVs are available for sale at my COST PRICE, on as is where is basis. Sorry  All SOLD   My place is 45 km from Mangalore which is in West Coast of India. http://ow.ly/4LKBs

ATVs are designed for offroad use with no differential. So they are not suitable for tarmac and are not registered by RTO.

This is very unique opportunity. Rush before they are sold out.
