Every rider has seen a dog on the road and needless to explain what goes in mind ....O.F.

And 'peeing in the mid of the road' was just an expression that TenHut has used...Get over it! Spare the dog

@ashtorque- It was awsome riding with u guys too...really liked the way that u guys were riding (cautiously) on they highway. I'd like to join again sometime.

My 2 cents on the "riding in the wet"- I feel that if the roads are partially wet then it's gonna be a slide fest. But, Full blown downpour is another matter. Agreed, the grip levels will still be lower than that in the dry but ur tire will grip better than in partially wet conditions. IMO, riding a 1000 in the rains is a no no.

In all the discussion on comparo between wet & dry conditions the main query got left out.

All ash probably meant was can the blade be ridden in rains.

I think it can be.But can it be ridden the same way as in dry conditions ,than answer is obviously not.

heck even the 150-220 ccs donot perform the same way in wet & dry conditions & you don't need laptimes to prove that.

But again riding in rains constitutes an entire "experience" ,the weather,nature & all elements combined & not just riding.

so as i mentioned earlier if the only aim is to do speed runs than it's a strict no-no but if you want enjoy touring with your banshee than try it atleast once when you think that the conditions won't be too detrimental to your ride.

all of the above is based on my limited knowledge of SBKs & not actual experience of riding one in rains.

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back;
and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

The photographer indeed did a good job. I was just checking whether the FB URL works as I faced some problems. Will post some more cool pics, all credit to the photographer.

Nothing much to write about the ride as it was pathetic...Stop and go ride. It was more of a meet than a ride. Didnt enjoy it much.
