Ah! So finally Storms here..... Storm... do we see a X Men trend here

I know exactly how you felt in deciding for the bike man, trust me this is one of the best bets that you have around now!
Be good to her during the run in.... dont give in on temptations!

And stop promoting Joels R15 everywhere you go

I remember talking to you in middle of the road to office, half way a fun ride....and then you going ga ga about Joels bike and suddenly I found the R15 to be boring :P

Actually my story is almost like this from an RX100... ended up with an FZ16(dream was an R15)... had not that much money... some people can only have their dream come true... ahahha not disappointed with my choice though...

Anyways good choice buddy...

Thank you for your compliments. You neednt be disappointed with your choice. My need was to upgrade to a better bike and for the long term the R15 made the best option. When you decide to upgrade next i'm sure u will be able to go for whatever that is you desire. Btw, Binoy is the name of the person who bought my RX from me! Coincidence eh?

Hello Pads. Thank you very much man for all your compliments. I'm not a freelance writer. *anybody wishes to hire me* But i enjoy writing as and when possible and this time i had my storm to let me potray my feelings through words so i made a decent attempt to put across my thoughts into words. I have a blog which i will overhaul soon.

I even knew..if it was not the R15 it would surely be the ZMA..

... But yes when the D day finally arrived and when you took us to Yamaha Service centre i was still thinking you would show us a R1....! Although i couldn't find the R1..i was very much happy to see the BABY R1...!! and that too which belongs to YOU

! I was indeed very much happy for you mate..!!

I knew you would figure it out! But eh? you cant complain here because i got you a date with the Yamaha R1 didnt i? up close and personal! But yeah sorry i fooled ya.. it was just to lure you into coming to the service centre so i could show you what i have done. I didnt think you would've come given your schedule on that day! But i'm glad u were there man!

Hey Meghan,

I saw the thread a li'l while ago, but was kinda caught up with work. That was one hell of a writeup and it's good to see that you have grown a lot since the shoutbox days. I hope you'll have a great time with Storm and of course, update us of the proceedings.

Synner!!! your back! whoa! Thanks a lot for your compliments man and yeah you said it right! S-box days were one of a lifetime. Crazy fun filled days they were. I'm hoping to have more adventures with Storm and will keep you updated. Will post a couple of trip logs soon.

Great read man.. although am not quite sure what I did for you to thank me

Always enjoy reading ownership/ride reports such as this one.. And it's the second one in as many days (other one being Sunil's ride on the One

)

Keep the rubber side up man.. I'm sure there are plenty of such experiences in the days to come, so keep us updated

Akhil. Thanks a lot for your compliments. I'm really glad you enjoyed reading through it! And I enjoyed as much writing it. There are many experiences but i will post a couple of rides with Storm soon. I'm sure you will find them interesting enough. Sunil's ride was very interesting. He and i are friends from long and i'm very happy for him that he's accomplished his dream! And man i know what u've done for me so the appreciation enjoy maadi

. As you have already finished the run in take her to the track once you will never forget the experience.

Thanks a lot man for your compliments. We should meet up the next time your in Manipal, sometime soon i hope. Yes i very much intend to take her to track this year and if all goes well it would happen soon enough. Have my fingers crossed. Need finances to do the riding to and fro and track day and back to Mangalore. Lets hope it happens this year itself! Dying to take the bike to the track where it belongs. Glad you liked the write up.

Ah...very nicely expressed! sooper write-up. Congrats for your new ride!

Btw, you mentioned about cleaning products in your write-up? What do you use to clean your "storm"?

I'm using Turtle Wax F21 for wax polish and its the best one out there! Got it from Ganesh Auto Spares at Jayanagar in Bangalore. I use STP - Sun of a gun for non painted fibre parts to keep them shiny. 3M car wash shampoo. And motul chain clean and lube. Trying to get a range of products from Turtle Wax itself. Expensive but worth the money spent. Thank you for your compliments btw.

Praveen

Thank you very much for your compliments Praveen! Its been quite a journey indeed man! But it aint over. With Storm joining the party its just underway. There's a lot more to go, to explore and ride on. Hoping to do a lot more with the bike as i progress with life. I'm hoping to meet you sometime when your back or perhaps in pune itself and listen to your adventures so i could plan some more of my own.

HAHAHA!

No x-men trend here:P Couldnt help but stop your ride and speak man. Damm i know i speak about his bike far too often but i cant help it. My first ride aboard the R15 was also my most fun filled ride before i got my bike in the entire last year. The ride is at the tip of my tongue waiting to be recalled again It so happened that you had to hear me out that day! haha.

The run-in is long over and she is approaching her 2nd service soon. Hoping to do more rides once past the 3K mark as i'm caught up with my semesters now.

The few days before i booked the bike, my choice of bike became too apparent and i knew i had to get it and it so happened my folks liked it very much and financially aided my cause! It was the best days of my life in this year!

Thanks for everything man.

Thanks a lot for your compliments and more importantly for being there for me dude! And yeah it was fun with you and the bike kept pulling away till the end of the road, still in 5th gear at about 9.5K rpm. That's probably the fastest i've been with a pillion on the bike so far.
