    [MENTION=61028]whymail[/MENTION] - i am going. Anyone else gonna be there??

    Awaiting Elixir.
    Just flick the switch and twist my wrist
    The beast comes alive, bringing me back to life
    A tap to shift and flick of the wrist
    The beast takes flight bringing me back to life
    Kill the silence, tear apart the dark
    The beast rips the road, hell yeah, i feel alive.

      [MENTION=61028]whymail[/MENTION] [MENTION=42045]JayD[/MENTION] is this the 'Mumbai launch' so to speak? Or is the bike already unveiled at other KTM dealers here?

          @DeVille - I think this is the Mumbai Launch. Not by KTM but by the KTM dealership.
          [MENTION=46701]mohitahuja[/MENTION] - Will do.

                  Just called KTM East who say it will take 2-3 days more n South Mumbai is doing the unveiling at 5 pm on Monday also the guy said test rides will start once the Reg process is complete…

                  Also, when u get there in the evening, snap yourself on the bike for perspective
                  Am not sure if I can make it

                      [MENTION=61028]whymail[/MENTION] - Why do you hav to play your OLD MAN card every time. Man!! with the sort of stuff you've done when you were my age and not to mention the fact that you've got 6.5 L KM's under your SORRY OLD ASHHH, how old do you think i feel. Guys like you and [MENTION=34363]Centaur[/MENTION] is what we young bikers (At least me and a few folks i know) want to be like. Ride till we Bloody can. Stop cribbing and try to make it to Vashi today brother.

                        @JayD : LOL! thank you for the inspiration but simply put, i am too lazy to come over there all the way - was there twice last week already.
                        was @ kanjur ktm this morning already too LOL!

                        as for the age, let me explain... @ my age, before i bend over, i try to think of all the things i want to do once i am bent-over. and once i am bent-over & actually down there, before i straighten up, i ask myself "what else can i / do i want to do while i am bent down here?"

                        as for shree @Centaur mahashay... he is in a different league altogether - his ZeroBHP bike runs on a 50Litre beer-tank. Mine runs on infinite supply of nicotine & baba-zarda!

                        my 2nd inning of biking childhood / teen days is about to begin in a few weeks / months.

                        till that time i am gonna continue to stay lazy! get the idea?
