Congrats brother, the bike looks beautiful!

By the way did you buy it from Orion? It looks like that from the pictures.

I was looking at the pictures and wondering how hawt would it look if the USDs were golden in colour, and i have to tell you that i absolutely loved that part where you mentioned that you wanted the first superbike you rode to be your own, thats just so inspiring.

I wish that my day comes soon too, the stupid car i had to buy is just not worth it. Everytime a superbike passes me i get this urge to sell the damn cage!

And please catch up on all the riding you can in blore, its got the best climate for riding, i so miss the place after shifting to Gurgaon

Buddy, like the racing DNA of R15 was taken from the bigger R1, the same way the macho attitude of the FZ16 was taken from the FZ1 only.. Thats why the FZ16 looks like an FZ1..

Congrats mate! As always, I am on call in case you need any input from my side. Till then, keep the rubber side down on both wheels.

And your heating issue can be addressed if you go a little faster

Keep to a speed of around 90-100 and the radiator will get more air to cool the coolant down. At low speeds, the heat tends to build quickly.

That said, don't ride like a maniac just to keep things cool

Some good advice there...

Huge congos for the purchase. +100 for the cute pink ribbon..i wonder who came up with that one? +100 for letting mom cut the ribbon. Ride safe. You have entered a new world. Don't get carried away though. Have fun

Thanks a lot Kallan yep the ribbon was moms idea

. Mom had to cut the ribbon off since it was her dream too for me to own a superbike ( but with all the restrictions in the world) lol she just went nuts for the rear tire ( she always wanted to sit on a bike with such a tire

)

I have been following your thread as well

Oh yes..do wave and I will wave back and then take a U-turn and stop and have a conversation :-)
Its nice of you to include your mother in this wild world of mean machines. I regret not calling my parents for the unboxing or the delivery stage. Maybe next time:-)
It's a good feeling riding a Ducati. Word spreads instantly as soon as people know about it. You will see what I mean across time. People start looking at you in a different light. You will have supporters and skeptics. One must learn to go beyond lame confrontation and conversation. You are beyond the daily grind. Upgrade your knowledge about bikes. Grow confident and keep cool when asked dumb questions. Just remember to be safe. That is key I guess. Sorry for the extended gyan. Just felt that you might appreciate it someday...

On a serious note, Sensible buy. Ride safe Ankit.

**patty_86** · 06-01-2011, 05:11 PM

All the best have fun and safe ride

tons of wishes to u and ride safe.

**MavericK46** · 06-10-2011, 11:23 AM

@Ankit: Congrats man.
I remember seeing Arjun's Pee-200 and your Pee-220 in the college parking lot being the only other bikes with the xBhp stamp of approval

You've come a long way since then. While I managed a meagre 73cc increment from my Uni, you've placed yourself at the very top of the might-is-right pyramid

OT: Your xBhp sabbatical appears to have cost you dear. Pretty much everyone in this thread (save for his rossiter-ness and Avin) thinks your a newbie at the forum !

Congos once again man.. Lemme know when you're looking for a Bosch - Sarjapur ORR - home G2G sometime

You can blame a certain someone at Cisco for letting me in on this bit of news. I've been very irregular in posting here myself.
