    @GP_freak :

    you are already faster than me .

    Well i will come with one RTR 180 . i will try to buy next week. and doing few thousand kms quickly then the bike will be ready for the track.

    Track director told me last Saturday there was raining ... then i didn't came on 16th (and also because still have no Tata ACE for bringing me there).

    see you soon on the track (i hope, because too boring over here (pondy) ).

        Then am definitely gonna become a member.. He he.. Any one interested to give some company ? Oh., RTR 180 ? what happened to R15 then ?
        actually the credit goes to R15 i believe. My part is very little. More than pushin the bike, i was actually trying out different lines. Especially in C3,C8,C10 and C12.
        I am still scared of pushin the bike in C3,C8 and C10. These are my very pathetic areas. Now i have to learn braking deep especially in C2,C8,C10 and C12.
        This my basic strategy. Then always comes some fine tuning.
        @ all -DOUBT: At what gears do ppl take C6 and C7 ? Because i end up closing my throttle when approachin C6 due to the fear that i might run out of tarmac, but after entering the corner i feel, i can push the bike very dear. This happens every time. Any suggestions to improve here ?

          i have some doubt now.... why not the R15... because little more expensive... but if i wait next month i can buy one r15...
          I need to think....

          For C6, i like this turn, i take in 5th (~90km/h, i shift up the gear just just before the turn after previous curve). I like this turn because i feel jumping ( i don't know how to explain that in English) inside the turn... I am probably cut a little the power, because if taking faster (no power cut) my foot part touch the floor.

              @ camilie - humm.. You must have patience to run in the bike. agreed that R15 is costly, but i don find a proper meaning for a new bike for a track. I can't digest if even a small scratch falls on the bike....

                    Poor fate of my Cramster knee sliders

                    This happened on my last visit to the track. i got a bit carried away with my knee down and i was able to slide my knee on the tarmac in all the right handers. Left handers were a bit tough. But atlast made some contact in C3 for the first time.

                    Now not sure what to do with these sliders. Should i get a new one ?. Darn my stupid enthusiasm

                      @GP_freak : . Maybe put less pressure between your knees and the floor ? or keep them little more close to the bike.
                      Can you imagine if that is your skin ...

                          Oh my god, did you ride around in circles with your knees scraping? Damn, thats a pretty bad damage. You need new ones and you need knee sliders too.

                              Dude you're supposed to use your knees as a way of measuring your lean. Don't scrape it alover the place. Anyway you'll have to get new ones now.

                              The thing is that the better you get the more you'll begin to feel comfortable while leaning and scraping your knees. You'll go through a pair like every trackday!

                                How is it that the inner end of your knee was scraped (I assume that the knee pads on the left and right are for their respective knees)? Generally the outer edges of the knee are susceptible for scraps for me, but this looks like you had your knee out at an extreme angle
                                I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.
