    Thats me taking a taking a hairpin bend on a Ninja 250 at Clark International Speedway in Philippines. My first proper ride on the track. Though I had my riding pants on, it was scary to stick out the knee without the slider.

    and thats turn 3 at the Buddh International Circuit. The presence of a proper leather riding suit and the knee slider made a huge difference. This was the first time i managed to get my knee down. I did a little better than this IMO on that track day; however, that wasn't captured on the cam.
    p.s.: Took a fall on the same day, at turn 1

    here's the fall . An overenthusiastic approach to the turn 1 by me without putting warming up the tyres.

      @sunig: I still have this crash pic on my phone. Keep showing it to people who "think' they can corner.


      Here's the lastest trending pic on the internet, moreso, on facebook.



      The rider is Mithilesh, from Vapi, on his 5 year old Fireblade which has crossed over 28,000km.
      He seems to be the only Indian capable of doing an elbowdown. To top it off, its not even a track. #LavasaCity,Pune.

        I wont agree with it. My friends have down elbow down at BIC.
        I appreciate gamer's skill but wont agree that he is the only one.

                I think i saw him at Lavasa C21 this Monday. He was shooting with Powerdrift. Give him regards from xBhp's side. This by no means is a small feat!

                IMO, if there was someone doing an elbow down on BIC, his pics would've been everywhere. At least i haven't seen those pics.

                              Although the pic is not of cornering, but aftermath of cornering, my canvas shoes were destroyed yesterday.

                              Seriously thinking of getting riding shoes with toe sliders now.
