    I think you do have thicker upper wear also...how thoughtful..
    You have taught me something very important to-day..
    THANK YOU

    Actually anti-venom serums have to be refridgerated so no one can carry them around unless you have a car with a fridge which runs all the time.

    I have a basic snake bite treatment kit which looks like this.

    • Bro, I did not underestimate the Ninja. This machine can be driven in any part of the world but I would NOT take MY Ninja on this terrain. This is my opinion.

      Also, it was nice to to hear from your experience that Ninja did well in the forest.

      P.S: not trying to argue, only sharing an experience...



      You are a STAR!!!! I'm going to include the same when I go out for a forest ride...

              Thanks... but I just found out my snake kit won't work on viper bites since they bite differently (say compared to a Cobra or banded Krait). But the viper won't know it, will it? He will 'sssstay' away once he ssssees my kit!

              Kuchal - how is my DIY paintjob on your fairing coming along?

                But the kit you have is for ensuring that the Venom is stopped from spreading and more important....Extract it through the Scalpel cut and Suction cup...This is the standard ,and most Important Life Saving first aid.
                I used to take extract of Venom for stopping my Stomach Ulcer Bleeding...and it worked wonders ...every time.

                      Not sure. Different bikes, different gearing ratios?

                          you faced heating issues after 5 kms of uphill ? did your ninja stop on its own due to over heat and you had to wait for cooling down ?

                          can you please clarify on this?

                            Kuchal - how is my DIY paintjob on your fairing coming along?

                            The paint seems to be holding good.Jus that when the bike gets heated up like in the sun.. the paint gets a bit sticky and attracts dust and dirt.. so brown dirt starts depositing..

                            When i tried cleaning it , it does not go off very easily as it gets embedded in the paint.. When i tried rubbing it a bit harder with a wet cloth.. i see traces of green on the cloth..
                            Otherwise it seems fine..
                            May be at a later point will be needing another few strokes of the paint.


                            Just got a call from prasanna that the spares have arrived.. but have to leave my bike for atleast 2 days.... Now this seems to be a pain in the a**. First dropping it at the PBK and then going back again to collect it..

                            Just wanted to know that who all have had some insurance work done against your bike... what was the estimation charge that PBK asked you and did insurance company approved for the same.
                            For my case it is 1000 bucks and oriental insurance person told that i will not get a penny on that...

                              No, not after 5 kms of uphill... I was along with a group of 21 other bikes... we were maintaining a speed limit of 80 km/hr (mostly uphill and downhill)... it was casuing the engine heating to be always close to over-heating red mark but never bothered cause any problem.... however, after entering the forest we had to be in the 1st gear continuously due to it being a off-road ride... the cooling fan started off after a while, then like I mentioned earlier, close to after 5 kms the engine heat needle reached the red mark and the engine shut-down... my friends too stopped along.. we waited for 5 mins for the Ninja to cool down and then we continued with the ride...

                              hope my explaination was good enough...
