@karthik - Bugger, I need to tell you the whole story all over again.

@addy - this bike is still unfinished. Lots of work still left to still unleash its full potential. Let our man get up and running.

The issues with the bike seems to have been addressed. Head gasket was the culprit for abnormal decreas in coolant levels. I rode the bike to work after a long intermission of 3 months (the doc says I can do anything expect for boxing, and my forearm is 80% fine) .

Feels good to see that look on everyone I overtake. Heard there is a drag irace sometime in April @ Jakkur
