  • My R1 Thread :D

    I had a lot of time and effort put into the old R1 thread before the server crashed. I didn't have any of it saved in any blogs so all the text is gone. Just thought I'd get the thread up with some pics for starters and keep this updated as and when things happen.

    Pics:

    Day one: When I first brought her home



    During PDI: (R1: Stop tickling me )



    Don't laugh he's trying to counter steer!

    With the R15s:





    Off to Kudremukh:















    That's it for now!

    Kms run: 5500 something.

    I used to burn lot of time at office reading ur the thread.........loved each and every part of it. Esp the way u put ur feeling thought right from the day when u decided to buy it!

    I still remember the bank guy calling u saying he'll provide the loan for the "dhoom" bike after ur bank(canara i suppose) had already approved it without a hitch

    But i surely miss that thread. Hope this one would be even more better in days to come.


    P.s - Is'nt it funny to approve ur own thread?

                Wow! One of the best threads is up! I'm sure this thread will turn out to be like its original in the months to come. Good work, Akhil!

                      Ahh! Thanks rossiter for starting this thread. I loved to read through your 'First Indian R1' thread at the 'old' xBhp, and here it is - in an all new avtaar.. Thanks!

                      @Satish: It is actually quite a lot of fun to start our own thread and NOT actually waiting for the moderators to approve/ disapprove it.. So, there.
                      :)

                        Thanks Rossiter for putting up this back again. A few unfortunate things have indeed happened this year but that's life.

                            i had just hooked to the old thread a few days before the server crashed and when that thing happened i was like missing every bit of it, the last thing i read was Yamaha sending a service guy at your place to get the chain cleaned. Am glad that the thread is back.
