    You know, there comes a time, when out of frustration and desperation, you give all hopes up.
    And then suddenly, out of the blue, some thing gives you that dream back. Suddenly you realise why you have been waiting, you realise why you have been dreaming.
    I am going OT[Big time OT] now, but I could not resist doing so. Ban me if you want, but this dream suddenly reminded me of what I was dreaming of since August-September 2010.
    There I was, almost in half mind to buy Ninja. But somehow convinced myself, that I cannot shell out so much. Waited and waited.
    Then came the Mojo. Well, was not impressed. Again decided to wait, hoping that some day Honda might come.
    And damn, on 30th December, Avin tells me that they already started booking.
    Called up all showrooms in Bangalore area, none ready to take it on 31st. So painfully waited for booking it on Jan 1st.
    Damn, what a way to start a new year. Now this inch-closer wait is really killing me. So I decided, instead of waiting, let me plan.
    Where will I ride this bike?
    And presto, this delay proved to be a mixed blessing. Its gonna rain soon.
    And I know, many are thinking it will hamper their out-goings.
    But hey, look at it in this way.
    Or rather look at these pics and tell me you are not tempted to take her out in the rain...
    I am someone who is in total love with the state I come from.(I am sure everyone is).
    I just love Kerala, for its greenery. And while I was browsing through these photos, I could not stop wondering, maybe God wanted me to take Bruna out during rains, maybe thats why Honda delayed the launch etc.(Maybe just my imaginations taking a toll on me due to this wait, like as if God gets relief from solving problems all over the world).
    Now I am out of this wait desperation, making plans, on how to spend the run-in period in some quality rides, on how to get out of monotonous work, on how to see nature with blurry vision, dampened with water sprayed by the almighty, on how to get a glimpse of life as the creator intended me to see.

    Biker for life!!!
    Cheers!!!
    Hope I was able to remove some frustration from you guys due to the waiting and the delays and the excitement.
    Thanks a lot. I am not really worried about when I will get my boy..but once i get it things will be quite different.

    P.S. ; My 5 year old daughter who is all excited about the arriving of CBR. She constantly reminds me that when shall we get the bike...

                Anyway, which places are those? Try MC road & you'll love
                What is MC road? These pics were clicked at random. I remember I used to love driving to a small near my house when it used to rain. Back in those days, I used to love the rain. Even now I do. Suddenly found less job in office and thought of checking out rain pics in google.

                Hmmm as to every rule, there are exceptions. The rule obviously being that after marriage, man is always sad. But in your case and in vijaydutt, well exception holds good. Lucky guys...

                Ayyada... Great excuse to tell your dad, to find a girl for you right? Damn you, first get your bike. You can run behind prospective girls later.
                OT: BTW post the pics of your helmet[In relevant thread obviously.]. I am planning to get sparx from someone coming from onsite.

                  Man is incomplete before marriage and he is completly finished after marriage

                  PS: Even my wife is egging me to go for a NINJA, but I do not have the patience/guts to explain her the financial intricacies involved, according to her the only drawback CBR has is that it does not come in GREEN color and for my personal safety I completly agree with her

                            I think you can go with either Dajiya or Nuvo (around 6k) or RJAYS(VFM product). If its possible to stretch your budget KBC or Sparx.

                              Regarding helmets, its better we take the discussion to the Helmets thread. It will be OT here.
