dreamchaser

do you remember the years when you had posters of your dreambike on your walls,running across when you hear an appraoching SBK,posing with a parked SBK always weary when you are gonna get thrashed from the owner!!??well even i was one of those guys till last month and thanks to a god given career in the oil sector, i was able to realise my dream with the help of my dear friend and mechanic kutten....it was here...in my own small garage...every day when i come down the stairs and see those 190 size tyres from under the cover my heart just skips a beat...i now own an R1....yes and that too with my own money and i am married(to a girl who had the guts to sit at 183 kmph pillion in thailand!!) and just 28...perfect age to enjoy SBKing!! and i had one now!!!
i am a regular reader of Xbhp and had read all the articles regarding the purchase of used SBk's so when i approached my friend for the intention of getting one he said i would not get any legal bikes but would be baggage ones and i had read a lot about them in Xbhp...but i said lets try and see...we saw 11 bikes in 2 days but most were thrashed and abused ones and that too baggage!!! i was to book my tickets back when my friend called me at 7 30 in the night and told he just saw a black 06 R1,stock and was 99% happy with it and to my luck or whatever i dont know it was a legal import!!!!....man i jumped and shook my hands lke rossi had just won the world championships!!! i went and saw the bike the next day and by the time he had taken a test drive and said "buy it"....and that moment when you become an SBK owner is like....i dont know what to say....and with the feeling in my mind that i dont have to fear anything from anybody or any official....woooow....i now have a R1!!!!and a legal one that too...!!!

@dreamchaser

to say that i am jealous would be a big understatement. but yeah, the truth you have just gone ahead shown me how my dream should go on to become a reality.

Congratulations dude!

Good to see that you realised your dreams dreamchaser! You are atop an R1 no less. Nice buy there. And I am particularly fond of the 06 model. Ride safe, have fun.

Just one question though... where did you shoot those photographs with the lovely highway?
