The Royal Enfield that travelled from Punjab to the UK because how could anyone leave a Bullet behind!

Time of India12-06-2025

Remember 'The Place Beyond the Pines' where a bike became a part of Luke (Ryan Gosling), Romina (Eva Mendes), and Jason's little family?
It turns out that real life is not very different from cinema!
So when a Punjabi family decided to settle in the UK, it isn't strange that they brought their bike along with them – even though they had to pay a hefty amount for the transportation!

Bringing the bike along
Initially shared on TikTok and later reposted on Instagram by @ub1ub2, and now going viral on the internet – a video shows a container truck being unloaded. When the back of the truck opens, a Royal Enfield Bullet comes out of it. The motorcycle is seen to have a Punjabi license plate. However, that's not all that the truck carried. After the Bullet comes out, there's more – an entire house worth of furniture: a full sofa set, dining table, wing chairs, and beds!
Clearly, the Bullet is as essential as all the other elements to make a house a home!
The video, now raking up millions of views on social media, was captioned with, 'This is absolute boss behaviour—bro brought his home to his home."
In the comment section, the bike's owner, Rajguru, revealed the cost of the shipment, which was around £4,000 (over ₹4.6 lacs), and informed that everything arrived safely after a 40-day journey. He added that the furniture was specially ordered from Kartarpur, Punjab, because of its quality. Rajguru shared that his family is now settling permanently in their new home in Wolverhampton, England.
Royal Enfield Bullet: More than a motorcycle
The Royal Enfield is not just a motorcycle; it's an emblem of resilience and adventure.
Originally manufactured in Redditch, Worcestershire, UK, the brand has evolved into a global icon. Despite its British origins, Royal Enfield is now produced in Chennai, India, under the ownership of Eicher Motors.
For many in India, owning a Royal Enfield is a rite of passage. Models like the Bullet and Himalayan are not just modes of transportation; they are companions on journeys through rugged terrains and symbols of a free-spirited lifestyle.

Transporting a Royal Enfield from India to the UK is no small feat. The UK has stringent regulations concerning vehicle imports, including the requirement for Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) for motorcycles. Indian models often lack the necessary certifications, making registration challenging.
So, when Rajguru and his family decided to settle in the UK and they did not want to leave behind their beloved bike, the family did not mind paying the hefty price for it.
Internet's take
The video on Instagram has already garnered a lot of attention with over 4 million views, and several netizens are calling it 'boss behavior'!
One internet user said, 'I can imagine how epic it must feel to reunite with your bike—especially a Bullet from Pind," while another person added, 'Everything is temporary, but BULLET is permanent."
One comment came, 'I love seeing the British complain about people "invading" their country like dw guys we're just there for the bland food,' while another person was astounded just enquiring about the shipping cost, saying, 'Hold on! how cheap has shipping become,' to which, someone else explained, 'It's not about shipping cost. From India we can buy full furniture for your house in just the cost of some Ashley or IKEA sofa ($2500-$4000).
So if you already have good furniture in your indian household then why not ship it instead of buying some here.'

But one NFL player had something very different in mind. After landing a massive deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, Landon Dickerson made a simple and funny wish. It had nothing to do with fashion or fame. Fans were surprised and started talking about it online. What did Landon Dickerson want to buy first with his $84 million deal? The answer left many smiling—and it actually happened just a few days later. Landon Dickerson signs $84 million deal and says he just wants a lawnmower On March 4, 2024, Landon Dickerson, 25 years of age and an offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, signed a four-year extension worth $84 million that made him one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in the NFL. But at the Philadelphia Eagles training complex in Philadelphia after introducing him at a press conference following signing the extension, Landon Dickerson said,'I think I'm gonna get me a new lawnmower. ' People thought he was joking. Most players talk about vacations or cars after signing a huge contract. But Landon Dickerson, known for his calm and funny personality, seemed serious. On social media, the quote quickly gained traction. The down-to-earth attitude of NFL supporters drew them in, and they began posting images and films honoring his statement. Some even called him a 'legend' for keeping things simple. Landon Dickerson gets his dream lawnmower and shows it off with pride A few days after the press conference on March 8, 2024, Landon Dickerson followed up. What he bought that day was a brand new, high end, John Deere zero turn mower and he posted a picture of himself standing excitedly next to it on Instagram. The picture looked nice with the blue Pennsylvania sky in the background and you could see he was thrilled. 'Been dreaming of this one for a while,' he wrote in the caption. His teammates and fans flooded the post with laughing emojis and praise. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts even commented, 'Now that's how you celebrate.' The moment proved that even after a huge payday, Landon Dickerson still keeps it simple—and very real.

"Ah shit, here we go again": The story behind GTA's most famous quote

Source: Rockstar Games Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas released in 2004, and few one-liners have held up so well as CJ's exhausted, "Ah shit, here we go again." What started out as a quote in an opening cutscene soon grew to be a cultural touchstone, taking over memes, social media, and even celebrity endeavors. Let's break down why the generic phrase came to be the internet's boilerplate expression for dealing with yet another headache. Why "Ah shit, here we go again" is GTA's greatest meme line Right at the beginning of San Andreas, CJ returns to Los Santos, to be instantly dumped right back into gangland theatrics. After being hassled, he lets out a deep breath, "Ah shit, here we go again" and we're with him. That one line exactly sums dread and resignation. Even though the game came out in 2004, it wasn't until a 2015 YouTube upload by ZMOONCHILD that the meme began gaining traction online. Jump forward to April 2019: green-screened versions of CJ walking into any situation went viral. One tweet from @ChaoticGeekCG gained thousands of retweets, giving birth to infinite mashups, from Kratos falling into battles to humorous TikToks. Today, the meme runs through subreddits, Instagram reels, and TikTok in fashion, solidly established as pop culture shorthand for, "Brace yourself, trouble's here." How the meme entered mainstream culture and why it endures The appeal San Andreas retains today revolves around its quotable lines and raw yet humorous tone. "Ah shit, here we go again" encapsulates that daily fatigue everyone is familiar with: waking up on Monday, handling drama, or watching a clichéd TV cliche for the umpteenth time. The tone of the meme makes it ideal for innumerable settings and that's why celebrities and even musicians have jumped on the bandwagon through collaborations, remixes, and viral content. Even mainstream outlets such as the Daily Dot feature it as the definitive meme for frustration and burnout. Ah shit here we go again meme compilation From a gritty cutscene in 2004 to TikTok gold gone viral in 2025, CJ's timelessness line demonstrates the strength of simplicity. In fewer than five words, "Ah shit, here we go again" evokes universal sentiments of fear, boredom, and irony. It's not only a meme, it's a mood. And as long as life is going to throw curveballs, CJ's sigh of weariness will remain our anthem.
