          @Aryan I hope you not trying to fool us by jst Posing wrongly & intentionally...!!!
          I had a 2nd look at Aryan's pix. I think a few minor tweaks and it would be fine. But as Joel said, just because I am scraping it, does not mean I am going faster. I THINK that I was doing somewhere between 70 and 80. But I think that Aryan was doing it faster. But I still think that he requires a little tweak and he will be there.

            As far as I remember he was taking that corner at 80+ km/hr. speeds..

            Yes, I had a detailed look at my body position too after coming home yesterday after the session. It really is pathetic, that's the least I can say. I NEED to improve a LOT! I'll try and do it sometime soon, so that I can atleast try to get decent at this whole cornering thing.

              Then maybe you are right.

              Actually, I have had so much difficulty and trauma in my life related to corners and biking that recently one of my philosophies has been to NEVER look at the console while approaching and taking a corner. I would like to go in at the slowest speed that I am comfortable with and make it through smoothly. And gradually step it up slowly as I warm up. These are words from Vivek.

                Precisely! 'Warming up' is really important, more so in something as important (and dangerous) as cornering. I started with about 57 km/hr. in 4th gear, moving on to 77km/hr. during one of my last run(s) at top gear.

                Some more SERIOUS practicing sessions are needed to get it all a little better. Perhaps, a few more early morning stints there would help.

                  80 + nice , will try to match that next week after i tune up my suspension a bit .

                  80 was the exit speed or average sped or entry speed ?
                  just wished the RTR had a better rear tyre

                      Oh yes. Delhi has plenty of tracks. With ambling cows as gratuities!

                              • @Bandhav: How did the Hunk handle the bends? Not much discussion happens on that bike here. BTW, I haven't seen the hunk lean like that...good work!

                                @Ken: Almost as good as andy's avatar.
