    Has a close shave with a tiger at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in UP: Watch Video

    On today’s episode of close calls on two-wheelers, we see a biker and his pillion rider narrowly miss coming face to face with a tiger in a video that’s gone viral on the internet. The very thought of such a situation runs chills down your spine, right?

    The video, shared by an IFS officer, has amassed over 1.25 lakh views on Twitter, and shows a tiger crossing a road at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve in Uttar Pradesh, just as a biker with a pillion on a Hero HF Deluxe approaches it, and manages to grind to a halt in close proximity to the wild animal. 

    This clip seems to have been taken by a driver of a car that was giving way to the tiger as it crossed the road slowly, as should be done while navigating through a wildlife sanctuary. What’s more commendable is the way this driver moves his car forward to shield the biker as he reversed away from the tiger.

    There are numerous highways that cut through national parks and tiger reserves in India, and while most of these roads have timing restrictions, there are chances of encountering wildlife even in broad daylight. Animals have the right of way on such roads, so we recommended that all motorists make their way on such roads at reduced speeds.

      Good option for daily uses
      It's a good bike for those who use bike on daily basis and it is money saver, gives good mileage in local streets and best average upto 70 kilometers per litre on highway under 70 kilometers per hour speed. If you ride on highway with this bike then it is a best option for the middle class family person and save his money and time after using this bike. All the feature of this bike is satisfactory in compare to a normal bike. Good bike for local riding and maintenance of the bike is too less. I'm using this hf deluxe bike since 2018 and gave me positive response and result is not bad for me and persons who are in my average category person.

      City ride with Hf deluxe
      I chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updow
